 犹记2001年底,香港MCB音乐殖民地音乐双周刊将Black Rebel Motorcycle Club(以下简称B.R.M.C.)这队以洛杉矶为基地之三人乐团的处男大碟B.R.M.C.选 为全年最佳专辑第一名时,或许不少乐迷心中是有所存疑与保留的,毕竟当时这 张作品在英国尚未发表;然而事实证明,踏入2002年后B.R.M.C.成为NME音乐週 报力捧的年度新团,紧接着成功入侵英伦并创造三十万张的专辑销售佳绩,也顺 理成章成为2002年底各家音乐杂志的年度最佳专辑之选。

 那麽究竟由Peter Hayes(主唱/吉他手)、Robert Turner(主唱/贝斯手)与Nick Jago所组成的B.R.M.C.有何过人之处?事实上,该团首张专辑之所以让一众乐评 与乐迷趋之若鹜,在于成功地吸纳了六十年代的Velvet Underground、八十年代 的Jesus & Mary Chain与Spaceman 3到九十年代My Bloody Valentine等经典乐 团的影响,进而建立起一种独树一帜的「黑色迷幻摇滚美学」,粗旷而低调,狂 烈而黑暗;从内敛张力十足的Love Burns到疾驰狂奔的What Happened To My Rock ’n’ Roll(Punk Song),首首作品都展现了该团傲视同侪的独特音乐性格。

 时隔两年,B.R.N.C.完成了这张后继专辑Take Them On, On Your Own。在持续实践「黑色迷幻摇滚美学」的前提下,这次移师伦敦录製的Take Them On, On Your Own,整体来说比前作明显多了几分奔放与直接了当的摇滚风范,从开场曲兼具首支单曲Stop、第二首作品Six Barrel Shotgun一直到闭幕曲,Heart+Soul,所给予听者的感受便是那样一气呵成而来,毫不拖泥带水。至于We Are All In The Love一曲充满早期Rolling Stones般爽朗Trad-Rock气息,是出乎意料的尝试;而喜欢Love Burns的乐迷,这次则不要错过了蛰伏着深沉Post-Punk肌理的In Like The Rose。 NME音乐周报已迫不及待地给予9/10分的高评价肯定,并推崇这是一张必须火速拥有的年度杰作。

Take Them On, On Your Own is the second album by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. It was released in 2003.
The album has a darker, harder rock sound than their debut album, and also contains more politically themed lyrics. The album reached #3 in the United Kingdom music charts despite receiving mixed reviews, and is almost universally credited as a lesser achievement than its predecessor B.R.M.C..
The album cover is a homage to the film The Third Man.
This album has been released with the Copy Control protection system in some regions.
