Vocalist, public speaker, and social critic Henry Rollins
wouldn't approve, but not everyone agreed with his
decision to break up his band after the experimental 1997
Come in and Burn CD. Rollins has gone on record as saying
that his mid-'90s unit of guitarist Chris Haskett,
bassist Melvin Gibbs, and drummer Sim Cain erred in not
wanting to be a standard, hard-driving rock band like
Rollins' heroes MC5 and Black Sabbath. But in effect,
Rollins broke up this open-minded band because of, rather
than for lack of, brilliance on their best and final CD.
Come In and Burn took the blueprint from 1994's
far-reaching Weight CD and went even further. After the
metallic opener, "Shame," the disc unveils 11 other
tracks that serpentine between rock and funk,
jazz/fusion, and metal. The single "Starve" featured an
insistent, inside-out rhythmic pattern that showcased the
strengths of both Gibbs and Cain. Haskett's Wall of Sound
guitar tone is muscular throughout Come In and Burn, yet
the instrumentalists' strong sense of whisper-to-a-scream
dynamics is also on display. Somehow, despite Rollins'
powerful yet one-dimensional vocal yells, the musicians
allowed Rollins Band to go beyond rock, ultimately
earning them a pink slip before Rollins recorded his
streamlined yet subpar 2000 CD, Get Some Go Again. Gibbs'
previous history on the New York avant-garde jazz scene
might've made him a strange choice to join Rollins Band,
yet his tones (underwater funk on "The End of Something";
distorted metal on "On My Way to the Cage") and further
involvement are what elevate this CD past Weight. The
equally brilliant Cain alternately swings and rocks on
separate sections of "During a City," which segues into
the calm intro (before the storm) of "Neon." Most of
Rollins' strong political statements are saved for the
final turn. "Inhale Exhale" features thought-provoking,
philosophical lyrics ("Inhale -- what I wanna be/Exhale
-- how I wanna be seen") over Cain's shuffling drum
pattern; "Saying Goodbye Again" is an autobiographical
tale of friends lost. But the closing track is even more
ironic, ending the brief, two-CD career of this
incarnation of Rollins Band, who also put on a dominating
performance at Woodstock 1994. In the chorus to
"Rejection," Rollins bellows "You did me a favor when you
left me behind." He didn't quite burn with this intensity
after.
