Black Rebel Motorcycle Club produced "Stop" themselves and mixed it with Ken Andrews, and it sits on Take Them On, On Your Own, the American band's second album, which reached British shops on August 25, 2003, with the US release following on September 2. The record goes darker and harder than their debut, carries more politics in its lyrics, and wears a cover that pays homage to the film The Third Man.
Reviews were mixed, and it is almost always rated below its predecessor, B.R.M.C., but British buyers didn't hold back: the album climbed to number three on the UK chart. In some regions the 2003 pressing came locked with Copy Control protection, and a 2008 reissue added bonus tracks.
