ROLLINS BAND
WEIGHT (1994)
320 KBPS
To a new listener, Henry Rollins may have a different effect than those who have followed his music since the days he sang with Black Flag. Weight is one of the more popular albums of his career and to me it just gets more addictive over time.
Subtle jams and electric thrashes mix in and out with Rollins singing a poetic style that really weighs heavily on small but important sociological and psychological issues. Rollins brings out not an angry voice but one that often questions the hypocrisy a person can experience on any given day at any given time. The Song "Disconnect" has a lot of flair in displaying a variety of guitar arrangements that mix in and out with Rollins' wordsmithing. Other favorites are Icon, Liar and the drudging, driving beat that introduces the song "Volume 4".
If a person ever feels like they are misunderstood or that the world can sometimes not necessarily be a sad place, but a really confusing one, they need to just play "Weight" and realize that the soundtrack of these matters is already out, with Rollins at the helm.
