Take Them On, On Your Own is the second album by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. It was released in 2003.
The album has a darker, harder rock sound than their debut album, and also contains more politically-themed lyrics. The album reached #3 in the United Kingdom music charts despite receiving mixed reviews, and is almost universally credited as a lesser achievement than its predecessor B.R.M.C..
The album cover is an homage to the film The Third Man.
This album has been released with the Copy Control protection system in some regions.
