BBC Review

Abhilasha Jeyarajah. That's the name you were searching for in case you were wondering. This is Baby 81: the child who survived the Tsunami and was fought over by multiple parents. For a while there's ben something of a fight for the heart and soul of BRMC too, but with the return of drummer Nick Jago, they seem to have fought their way out of their country hole and back into the place we love them the most. The wide open, grunged up landscape where new posibilities aren't just an option, but a way of life.

The changes (and beauties) are signalled on two numbers in particular. The frankly bloated (yet marvellous) "American X" which takes 9 minutes to reach a peak of Muse-like bluster and indignancy, and the daring "Weapon Of Choice" which reminds you of everything you ever loved about the band, yet does it with a panache that they couldn't have mustered three years ago.

While the band still retain the same fuzzed-up vibe there's a sense that they've been actually sitting down and learning some new chords and deciding to tone down the attitude with some real skills. At times this leads to a rather worrying Beatle-esque atmosphere on "Window", yet overall Baby 81 is easily up there with the band's best work. Six years into their career, BRMC seem to be growing up... --Chris Jones

Format:Audio CD
On first listen Baby 81 seems nothing remarkable, just a collection of BRMC standards. However, after 4 or 5 listens the songs really start to get into your head and how. The first half features some of the best songs that they've ever made and the second half shows a new and exciting willingness to experiment which suggests a bright future for BRMC. Baby 81 takes the best bits from the first two albums and mixes it with some of the gospel blues found on Howl and the end result is BRMC's best album to date. Disappointly in some respects, casual listeners will probably not give the album more than a single listen and its unlikely to draw many new fans, but for those of us who've been there with them for a while then BRMC have really delivered on Baby 81. Brilliant!

Not going to ramble on, just wanted to say that this piece of work, in my humble opinion, is their VERY BEST album to date.

Rocking, sensitive, rolling and loud. Has it all.

Well played fella's.

By Mike
Format:Audio CD
This is a fantastic album, there isn't a bad song on it. I love this band because they are not a fancy frilly guitar band. Their music is genuine and well thought out without being over complicated. I love their sound and their image and they are also a great live band so I wish they would release a live DVD sometime. This album is a perfect progression from their other albums. I would recommend this band to anyone.

BRMC seem to grow on you. I bought Howl and initially disliked it compared to their previous offering, BRMC. So I approached Baby 81 with some doubts. Read more

I went about getting into BRMC the wrong way around. After hearing "Weapon of Choice" on MTV2 I had to check them out, so I bought Baby 81 that very day. Read more
