'Weight' is the defining album for Henry Rollins and the Rollins Band. The former Black Flag frontman hit creative gold with this hard-hitting hardcore alternative metal heavyweight. Energy. Anger. Creativity. Hatred. Lyrical. Intelligence. Powerful. Rollins is a master of funk-rock-metal driven hardcore. His music deserves a sub-genre of its own. 'Weight' was released to rave reviews in 1994 and is, to date, their most commercially successful album - not that Rollins cares about the success. He prides himself on 'not' being a celebrity. Funk. Rock. Blues. Metal. Alternative. It's all here in 12 amazing tracks: 'Disconnect', 'Fool', 'Icon', 'Civilized', 'Divine Objects of Hatred', 'Liar', 'Step Back', 'Wrong Man', 'Volume', 'Tired', 'Alien Blueprint' and the phenomenal 'Shine'.

Bought this as it has some live tracks added to the original studio album. The sound quality on the extras is not the best, but this still makes for a great re-issue of possibly Rollins Bands' best collection of songs. If the price is right, buy it.
