CD Reviews

Same as Vol. 1

"I love good ol' Hank, he is usually consistently funny and unapologetically crass. The problem I have with this CD however is that it is nearly identical to volume one. I realize that these were two nights in the same venue, but I assumed since they recorded them separately they would contain different material.



Not so much.



Even volume one has some of the same stories as the "Rollins in the Wry" and "Think Tank" albums. I know Rollins sticks to a loose script and therefore every show is different and unique, but these were just not varied enough to warrant spending $10 on the same thing.



If you bought volume one, don't buy volume two. Otherwise, you might be ok."
The best of the Talk Is Cheap albums (4.5 stars)

"Of the four Talk Is Cheap albums by Henry Rollins, Volume 2 is the best of the lot. On this album, Henry is entertaining throughout as he discusses such diverse topics as the differences between girls and women, Macy Gray, what happens when men reach middle age, stories about seeing Nick Cave back in the early-80's, and his experience of becoming a Kiss fan during their very last tour. The track It's Kiss, Part 1 does tend to drag when he discusses the origins of the members of the Kiss Army. Otherwise, the album is a very good listen as Henry comes across as both intelligent and entertaining. As indicated before, Henry's spoken word material is much like topical stand-up comedy and his delivery continues to get stronger with time. Certainly one of his better spoken word albums, Talk Is Cheap: Volume 2 is definitely worth checking out."
