Howl (Black Rebel Motorcycle Club album)

Howl is the third studio album by American rock band Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

The record was released in the UK and Europe by The Echo Label and by RCA in the US, Australia, Japan, and the rest of the world.

[12] While most agreed that their 2001 debut was the better of the first two records, and the follow-up had been rushed and lacklustre, opinion of the third offering was not so unified.

[12] Many critics saw the album as an innovative departure from the band's homeground, and the record that affirmed them as the "Kings of Cool" once again, while others professed the record dull, and a last-minute attempt at restoring a flagging career by an album of acoustic tracks that should have ended up as b-sides.

Noticeably after this, the proposed third single from the album, "Weight of the World", never materialized, with only a limited number of copies surfacing, again non-chart eligible.
