Album Review

On Weight, the Rollins Band is able to mix the musicians' love for jazz with a blindingly direct hard rock assault, making a twisted form of metal-jazz. Henry Rollins' lyrics have also begun to move away from his relentless self-examination, adding a touch of the self-effacing humor that distinguishes his spoken records. The new lyrical dimension adds depth to the band's music, making Weight their most impressive album to date. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Henry Rollins of Black Flag is ready to get down, but not afraid to put you in your place. He's pissed off at what Americans call "culture". Hard-edged rock.
