Review<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been a staunch fan of whatever Henry Rollins produces since I first heard Low Self Opinion<\/em> on Rage. But I seem to be an outlier when it comes to my thoughts on Come In And Burn<\/em>, with several<\/a> reviewers<\/a> not taking well to it, and I get the impression that Rollins wasn\u2019t over the moon with the album either. But I love it.<\/p>\n

I bought this album on CD as soon as it came out, and happily went along to see Rollins Band perform at The Roxy in August 1997 in support of the album as well. I remember that the CD I purchased was an “enhanced” CD with some kind of multimedia component, and my PC was incapable of playing the most basic videos, including the content on this CD. I wasn\u2019t able to see what they were for some years to come, and questioned whether this whole PC multimedia thing would ever really be ready for the mainstream. It\u2019s funny when I think about the quality of video we can now stream in our web browsers.<\/p>\n

This album isn\u2019t perhaps as sonically “clean” as previous Rollins Band efforts, but I think it\u2019s as strong as I\u2019ve ever heard them (although sadly this incarnation of the band only put out two albums). Lyrically, it\u2019s been described as “transcriptions from a therapy session<\/a>“. I frequently think we\u2019re asking of Rollins something that we don\u2019t necessarily ask of other performers, but that’s in part something that he may have welcomed at times too.<\/p>\n

The music video for Starve<\/em><\/a> gets special mention, as I found it an entertaining representation of a song from inception, through to recording, and finally to live performance. And the puppet in The End Of Something<\/em> is something else too. Standout tracks for me are all of them, but particularly the aforementioned singles from the album, along with Shame<\/em>, During A City<\/em>, Neon<\/em>, and Saying Goodbye Again<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“I left town and heard that you did too \/ The difference is I can come back, I can come back!!”<\/p>\n
