5.0 out of 5 stars Hank Fights Obsolescence- And Wins, March 24, 2000

I was beginning to get worried about Rollins. His spoken word stuff has lost a lot of its bite, and his guest appearances on VH1's The List did not bode well for my favorite rock musician of all time. Nevermind all that, though- from the sound of this disc, you'd think he never left Black Flag. The music on Get Some Go Again is full of verve and life. The new band is indeed a good fit to Hank's style, and the music is much tighter than either Weight or Come In and Burn. This music isn't as penetrating as The End of Silence (Rollins Band's best work to date), but any fan of quality rock music will not be disappointed. Rollins is still obsesed with personal issues- getting old, losing focus, beating the odds- and his lyrics still hit their mark. Thank you, Rollins, for not selling out. Thank you for continuing to bare your soul for us. Your music remains a source of strength and inspiration for everyone who is concerned with self-betterment.

4.0 out of 5 stars A big surprise, March 2, 2000

I bought this CD the same day I bought the new Smashing Pumpkins. Two different types of music, for sure. But, where I thought I'd be getting something fresh from the Pumpkins, I instead found this to be the surprising refresher...but I digress.

The Rollins Band for this recording is Mother Superior. A heavy metal unison equivalence to Neil Young with Crazy Horse or Dylan with The Band? Whatever the case, I didn't know who Mother Superior was, but they rock and this CD rocks. Not that other Rollins Band recording didn't (they all ROCK), but his one has more boogie-woogie '70's style flare and funkiness mixed in there.

Check out Track #5 (Thinking Cap) "....You can put pearls on a swine, but it's still a pig....snort snort". Henry puttin' it on the wimps with plastic surgery. And "Money Train" a hidden 14-minute tirade of wine made out of sour grapes and cooked with steam, with MC5's guitarist Wayne Kramer. Pure funk, with a spoken dialogue over the top. Hank vs. LA.

Unfortunately, Henry's vocals will still push the wimps away scared and shaking, but I think that's the way he wants it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rollins Band - 'Get Some Go Again' (Dreamworks), October 27, 2005

Henry Rollins returns with 'Get Some...' that features an all new band backing him,with Jim Wilson-guitar,Marcus Blake-bass and Jason Mackenroth-drums.Basically,just good underground alternative punk.A couple of guests on this CD are Thin Lizzy's guitarist Scott Gorham and former MC5 guitarist Wayne Kramer.Tunes I liked best were "Love's So Heavy","I Go Day Glo","Let Yourself Down" and Thin Lizzy's "Are You Ready"(featuring Gorham).Very decent piece of work here,I thought.Just might appeal to fans of Primus,Melvins,Gone,Bad Brains and Faith No More.
