''Howl'' is a 2005 album by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. It is their third studio album and was released on August 22, 2005. The record was released in the UK and Europe by Echo and by RCA in the U.S. (distributed through RED Distribution), Australia, Japan and the rest of the world. ''Howl'' infuses blues, country, and gospel throughout, stemming from their love of Americana less apparent in their 2001 and 2003 releases. An extended version of the song "Howl" (which runs 6:12, as opposed to the 4:20 length of the album version) appears on the soundtrack to the 2007 film ''Southland Tales''. "Devil's Waitin'" was used in the 2012 ''Hell on Wheels'' (TV series) Season 2 finale episode "Blood Moon Rising". The opening track, "Shuffle Your Feet" is used in several points in David Simon's TV miniseries about Iraq, ''Generation Kill''. Initial versions of the CD released in the U.S. are copy controlled. ==Critical reaction== 〕 | rev1 = Allmusic | rev1Score = | rev2 = ''Blender'' | rev2Score = | rev3 = Pitchfork Media | rev3Score = (7.0/10) | rev4 = ''Rolling Stone'' | rev4Score = | rev5 = ''Spin'' | rev5Score = }} Many critics noted that ''Howl'' took a different direction from earlier BRMC releases.〔 Critics were generally polarised with the album.〔 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.〔 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. The title of the record is a direct reference to Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl". In a 2010 issue of ''NME'' dedicated to great 'lost' or 'cult' albums, ''Howl'' was selected by Guy Garvey of the band Elbow as his great 'lost' album. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Howl (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
