5.0 out of 5 starsControlled anger with stellar musicianship
By John Alapick on August 18, 2004
Format: Audio CD
Weight was the Rollins Band's breakthrough into the mainstream and remains their best album. While their previous album The End Of Silence was an unfocused affair with many of the songs tending to drag, Weight cuts out all the fat as every song here is very strong both musically and lyrically.

This album is best known for its memorable video/single "Liar" which starts out as a mellow jazz tune under Henry Rollins' soft spoken vocals before getting heavy during the choruses. While this is the most well known track, many other songs here match its brilliance. "Civilized" and "Step Back" both rely on a killer groove before dropping down in tempo midway through before regaining its original momentum. "Alien Blueprint" is a fantastic tale of a former outcast who doesn't let his past ruin his future. "Shine" is another great tune driven by a groovy riff and more of Rollins' great self-help lyrics. "Disconnect" is a mid-tempo track driven by the excellent rhythm section of bassist Melvin Gibbs and drummer Sim Cain that is also very strong. The momentum slows down on the grinding "Volume 4" and the slow jazz of "Tired" which concentrate more on mood and Rollins' vocals which speak of a man wrestling with his emotions. Other great tracks include the driving "Icon", "Fool", and "Wrong Man" which are all carried by Chris Haskett's killer riffs and wild yet creative soloing. Rarely has an album been released that combines controlled anger with such great lyrics and musicianship. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 starsBest Rollins since Black Flag
By The Preacher on April 10, 2010
Format: Audio CD
If I'm ever feeling depressed, I put on this album and get over what's bumming me out, quickly. If I'm feeling sad and lonely, I put on this album and Henry starts telling me his problems and I think to myself, "I guess this isn't so bad." Whenever I feel like being lazy and skipping a workout, I put on this album and get to it.

When this album came out in '94 I was 14 and in middle school, on the weekends I'd wake up in the morning and just lay there till this played end to end. The music sort of builds a barrier against the crud you gotta deal with throughout the normal day.

Warning: This album may cause fits of self-confidence, motivation, push-ups and uncontrollable sing-a-longs.

Weight from Rollins Band is a good album. With songs such as: Liar, and Disconnect demonstrate why Lead singer: Henry Rollins is a loud, in your face vocalist. If you are a fan of Hard Rock/Heavy Metal, I would recommend this album to any Metal Head. Two Thumbs UP!!!!!!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 starsNot pressed from the Master tapes... as per HR
By Sam Hall on March 3, 2015

Just so you know, according to Henry Rollins he had no clue this was happening and never let anyone use the masters to make this. this record is more than likely made from a cd. still cool to own but dont expect this to be super awesome

5.0 out of 5 starsHenry and Co.'s best album.
By Frank (IronBadger@aol.com) on May 15, 1999
Format: Audio CD
First of all, hats off to Theo Van Rock and Peter Rave for producing and engineering this album-- as far as sound quality goes (especially Melvin Gibb's bass) this is in the top 5 albums of all times.
Beyond that, this album is the finest Rollin's band album yet and it even surpasses much of Henry's work with Black Flag. But surprisingly, dispite the band's name, Henry is overshadowed by the excellent work of the rest of the band on this album. The band always sounds tight as hell with their not holds barred approach to recording. Sim Cain holds his own on drums dispite Henry's vocals, Chris Haskett's hard, funky, at times almost Hendrixian guitar stylings, along with Melvin Gibb's bass (gotta love that wah-wah on "Shine").

4.0 out of 5 starsPerfect for the imperfect.
By Johnny Swett on November 5, 2014
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Henry Rollins is no sophisticated poet. He is however, a pedestrian voice who isn't afraid to speak his mind, which is just as necessary in the music world as the former. He's not a messiah, he's incredibly flawed and he knows it. From being lied to in Fool to being the manipulator in Liar. He knows both sides of the same miserable coin and can navigate them in a meticulously tortured prose.

The band is good, but to a more or less trained ear, they have a few strange decisions as far as chord progressions go, and the only memorable player is the guitarist. Given this, I would say that the band was appropriately named. Henry Rollins truly is the star of the show.

4.0 out of 5 stars"Hero time, time to shine."
By IhateMTV on September 2, 2004
Format: Audio CD
While their previous albums had been more punk-oriented, "Weight" seemed to be the first album where Rollins Band dove into the alternative metal market. Their change proved to be a success as it helped to diversify their sound, and "Weight" became the band's most popular album. The brilliance of singles such as "Liar" and "Disconnect" helped, as well as the intense vocals of the legendary Henry Rollins. The only problem is that the videos for the previously mentioned singles were so good that it doesn't feel the same listening to the songs without them. Lets take "Liar" for example. The song is good in it's own right, but the message doesn't stand out as much if you don't see Rollins dressing in funny costumes and painted in all red. Sounds like a trivial thing to get upset about, but those were two of the best videos I've ever seen.

The first thing I noticed when I listened to this album is how it's somewhat similar to Rage Against The Machine (nothing wrong with that since they're a fine band as well). The best example of this would be on the song "Civilized". The guitars sound very similar to Tom Morello and the lyrics sound like they would be a natural fit in any Rage song. Since Rollins is an established writer, the rest of the lyrics are quite good, and each one seems to have some kind of powerful message to it. Whether it be the positive lyrics of "Shine" or the way certain individuals hide behind their guns ("Civilized").

From start to finish, "Weight" is a fairly solid album. There are some tracks towards the end that are filler, but the album ends on a high note with the guitar-driven funk of the closer, "Shine". Nothing overly amazing on this record, but the impressive guitar work, intense vocals, and well-written lyrics make this one worthy to listen to.
