Product Description

Amazon.ca

Contrary to the disc's title, there is nothing polite about this new release from the Rollins Band. Fronted by aggressively prolific Henry Rollins and backed by members of Mother Superior, the Rollins Band takes a chainsaw to society, cutting down people who speak first and think later ("Stop Look and Listen"), cities that break your spine ("I Want So Much More"), and never fitting in ("Going Out Strange"). Rollins gives his typical cynical rants, with a couple peeks into the man behind the muscle--"I'm just lonely," he yells repeatedly on "Hello"--backed by the band's usual vigorous take on hard rock. There are some twists on this disc, though, like the funky rhythms on "Your Number Is One" and "Gone Inside the Zero" as well as the electric blues jams on "Hello" and "Let That Devil Out." "Up for It" is the best song on the disc, with a James Brown intro and backup gospel singers adding soul to Rollins's heavy-handed approach. Although the Rollins Band does throw around different musical styles on Nice, overall it's still basically as straightforward as the man who fronts it. It's angry rock & roll from one of rock's angriest men. --Jennifer Maerz

4.0 out of 5 stars Adding some diversity to the intensity Jan 17 2004
Format:Audio CD
Upon hearing that Henry Rollins added organ, horns, and female backing vocals to this album, you'd figure he was finally slowing down. Not by a long shot. This is easily his best album since Weight and certainly his most diverse. The intensity is still there and in full force on the killer opening track "One Shot" and the slow grinding tracks "Hello" and "Hanging Around." The great heavy metal that dominated his previous album Get Some Go Again is still here in the tracks "What's The Matter Man", "Stop Look and Listen", and "Gone Inside The Zero." But amazingly, the songs that work best here are the most diverse. "Up For It" and "I Want So Much More" are definitely a change of pace with the soulful backing vocals and the killer sax solo in the latter. "We Walk Alone" starts out with a repetitive rock riff before going almost completely silent after the solo and then ending with a blues jam which leads right into the killer groove of "Let That Devil Out." Marcus Blake's bass work is great throughout, most notably on the driving riff that carries the excellent track "Your Number Is One." Only the slow grunge of "Going Out Strange" keeps this from being a 5-star album. If you liked Henry Rollins when he was at his most visible in the mid-90's and wondered what he's been doing lately, check this album out. You won't be disappointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nice try Nov 30 2003
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
I keep reading that Henry Rollins accomplishes more in a week than most mortals can manage in a lifetime. But it seems that he's forgotten it's quality, not quantity, that counts. This record rehashes familiar Stooges/MC5 territory but with Rollins's dreadful lyrics and awful singing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great listen Oct 13 2003
Format:Audio CD
"Balls Out Rock Power" That explains everything about this cd. Not his best but pretty close to it. One thing I did not like about this cd is the fluxation. DO I dare to slam the man, the myth, the legend? Yes, the bluesy tone I have always said Henry could not pull off outside of his spoken word career. This cd contains some of it. Well worth a listen and it will show true rock power and be in your face.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't be fooled by the rating
Yes, i gave this album a poor rating. I just am not a fan of his newer stuff. I don't find him to be as intense as he used to be, but who can blame him? Read more
