Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Berlin Single Review

Rating: 4 out of 5

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (BRMC)
Berlin
Single Review

The second song to be hauled from Black Rebel Motorcycle Clubs' fourth album "Baby 81", "Berlin" is finally released; a modern, resilient and heated take on the vintage sound of T-Rex.

As if on a violent rampage, the Californian three-piece, ransack the truly unique tones of Marc Bolan and plaster their own mark of effervescence and accuracy on the sound.

A melodic but vigorous track; the band hurls together, almost effortlessly, a towering guitar riff, dominating vocals, a clear-cut drumbeat and salient lyrics, to form what is nothing less of the perfect rock song.

A hard-hitting, vigorous and weighty pursuit of rock perfection, which comes close to achievement; there is no denying the colossal musical aptitude of BRMC and "Berlin" is the reason why.

8/10
