About this album

Take It From The Man! is one of The Brian Jonestown Massacre’s sharpest statements, a swaggering garage-rock album that helped define the band’s mid-1990s cult appeal. Issued in 1996, it leans into noisy riffs, chiming psych textures and slyly deranged humour, with songs such as “(David Bowie I Love You) Since I Was Six” and “Straight Up And Down” showing Anton Newcombe’s gift for mixing menace with melody. Part retro revival, part acid-damaged rock’n’roll, the album became a key release in the band’s sprawling catalogue and a touchstone for later neo-psychedelic groups chasing attitude as much as sound.
