Rollins Band
Come In and Burn
[Dreamworks]
Rating: 3.5
Mean ass fucker, that's Rollins. Intense, psycho- mutant thick-neck, that's
Rollins. Gripping, powerful music that utilizes its relentless attack as
its most powerful weapon, that's Rollins. But not Come In & Burn. What
happened after The End of Silence that fucked up Rollins' music?
To follow such a powerful album with this terrible record is criminal.
In Get In The Van (his book chronicling his tours with
Black Flag), he constantly bitch-slapped his fans:
"They come rolling in, giving us shit about this and that, telling us what
songs we're going to play. It's funny when I tell them to fuck themselves."
....Uh, is Come In and Burn supposed to be punishment, Henry?
