JoshCast #14 - Weight of the World

One of my recent favorites, from Howl, by Black Rebel Motorocycle Club:



Howl, by the way, was a pleasant surprise for me. I had bought Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's previous album, Take Them On, On Your Own, which was nice and edgy. You know, the stuff you'd expect from a bunch of rebellious guys in a motorcycle club who wear black. Howl goes in a different direction. I was at first disappointed, but upon later review and hearing them incorporate heavy doses of folk and gospel influences, I came to appreciate the diversion.

"Weight of the World", "Fault Line", and "Shuffle Your Feet" are the standouts to me. By the way, The Daily Vault has a great review of this album.

Back to work...*sigh*.
