COME IN AND BURN (1997)
320 KBPS

1997's COME IN AND BURN by the Rollins Band seems to be divergent from their previous release, WEIGHT. That album enjoyed great success, so there were some high expectations for this album---and it delivers. I think that this album is a little more musically superior to WEIGHT, and it's more diverse, as well. Songs like Starve, The End of Something, During a City and Inhale Exhale cover a broad spectrum of music, from blues to metal to straight punk. Some fans were let down a little with this release, after the success of WEIGHT, but I think an appreciation for this album's diversity will come out in due time, if it hasn't happened already. This album still has the Rollins signature in your face attitude, and like I said, the musicianship is outstanding. Get this, and you won't be disappointed. Henry's mean look inside the CD sleeve is enough to suggest that this guy still had the attitude!!
