I resent being told what to think. I resent being told what to buy. And so i start hating certain things because i am told to like them. Kind of funny when you think about it. These same people the more-serious-than-me music geek buzz factor told me to like The Dismemberment Plan. And i do. They told me to like Sonic Youth.

I already did. Now they tell me to like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, with an addendum that soon many more people will be telling me to like them. And, well, my intial response is that i don't like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

There, i said it. So the question that i have had to ask myself is: is my reaction based on the afore-mentioned resentment backlash? If so, why doesn't it kick in and keep me away from The Dismemberment Plan?

The answer here lies in what i have termed "the excitement to buzz ratio". You see, there is at least some buzz for every band. And there is some excitement caused by seeing any band live. There is some ratio wherein excitement at the music exceeds buzz, and that ratio makes me like the band.

Dammit, i hate it when my life comes down to calculus! So a band with a lotta buzz like Black Rebel Motorcyle Club really has to knock my socks off in concert. And they didn't. Oh, they weren't bad. In fact, i would say that they are a talented band with some potential and some interesting songs.

They are not the saviors of any type of music. Let me describe them musically for a moment heck, it is the ostensible reason for this review, so why not! They are a three piece. Each member has big messy hair and tight black clothes, making them look like three refugees from Automatic -era Jesus And Mary Chain. Sonically they have powerful rhythm. I mean powerful. That drummer played the heck out of his kit, and i think i have to say that he is one of the most talented drummers i have seen in a while.

The bass played high-pitched melodies a la Joy Division. Both the guitarist and the bassist sing, although with the volumes they were performing at i could not sense a difference between the two voices.

Musically their songs remind me, for the most part, of The Rolling Stones. Not that this is bad -- i adore The Stones. Some people may want more intellectual content in their music, but i don't think this is a slam against anyone. Of the performance, i think that garage rock fans would have had a blast.
