"It's a 74-minute Train Wreck".......2007-03-21

When I was in high school, I lifted weights in my parents basement for 2 hours every other day. This album was the workout soundtrack for 11th and 12th grade. It's the perfect music to try and punch yourself out to. By the end of the last song, "Just Like You", I would feel spent, rabid. Amazed that Hank still had some left at the end of that relentless 10 minute song. I can't hear any song of this album to this day without feeling that adversarial thrill of those cast-iron afternoons of my youth.

I'm 32 now, still work out seriously with weights, and listen to Hank quite often.

Hank taught me thru this album to be strong, to be self-defined as a person, to be my own person and believe in myself, to stand up and be unafraid. Who else could send a message like that, AND HAVE IT BE COOL?? Hank was like your guidance counselor, telling you to be positive and not to do drugs, but in way that was intense and interesting and made you want to go out and push the envelope with a dangerous mind.

Buy LIFETIME. Buy THE END OF SILENCE. Buy WEIGHT. Buy COME IN AND BURN. Buy GET SOME... Buy NICE. Buy HOT ANIMAL MACHINE. Buy HARD VOLUME.

THE BEST ROLLINS ALBUM!!.......2007-03-09

This is in my opinion the best ROLLINS BAND album. Full of anger and seething with hatred it literally begs you to punch something. LOW SELF OPINION is a great song and even seems to have a positive message from ol' Hank. My favorite though is BLUES JAM! It has some of the coolest lines in it and some REALLY fierce music. I saw ROLLINS BAND a few times in the 90's and man, they were a force to be reckoned with. This album is a must have for fans of heavy alternative music.

Now Swimming in the Mainstream.......2007-01-06

Those who loved the Rollins Band before this release knew one thing, "This was going to put the band on the map." And it did.

Lollapalooza. Major airplay. Thousands of jocks in cars bought by their parents pumping out the jams. It was a nightmare, yet oddly redeeming. Here was a band we always knew rocked, and now the masses were knowing it, too.

There's really not a loser on here. It's the perfect thing to listen to when depressed or angry beyond belief. It will fill you with hope, rage and lust. It's Nietschze put to music, and if you think that sounds incredible -- it is.

"The End of Silence" is just that. It was the end of the silence and the beginning of the rage. If you haven't listened to this yet, you haven't lived.

High Energy power music.......2006-11-01

I agree with the reviewer who said this is like harder King Crimson (who rule themselves). Chris Haskett on guitar is a METALLIC VIRTUOSO, pure and simple. Cain and Weiss on drums and bass are excellent, the power trio just RIPS it up on this, the best of Rollins' solo efforts. This is power music, why does it make my hands turn into fists?? I always thought the band should have done some more of the faster paced numbers, as opposed to the bone crushing stuff, but its all good. This is a good one to put on before (or after) you have to listen to a bunch of your co-workers whine about this or that, too bad Mr. Rollins couldn't come in and give them a piece of his mind!!

The Good Ol' Bad Days.......2006-07-11

I hope the rock world doesn't forget what a lightning bolt this album was "back in the day." Released a little after Nirvana's _Nevermind_ and Soundgarden's _Badmotorfinger_, it was just about as much a defining piece of the "grunge" movement as these two classics. It was also Rollins's first money-maker, as it was put out by a major label, giving he and his band the production values that they had always lacked in the indie world.

For these reasons, this puts _The End of Silence_ at a thrilling precipice, the one between Rollins's manic catharsis of his demons and his success to come. In a few words, Rollins's paranoia and rage never sounded as genuine after this. He put out a few decent albums after this (those which have the same nucleus as this version of the band--Sim Cain and Chris Haskett: _Weight_ and _Come in and Burn_), but he never sounded as RAW again. And punk underground values being what they are and were, this is the best-recorded document of the truly wild Rollins.

This is also when his band got absolutely tight, going between intense riff-rockers like "Grip" and mind-melting jams like the incomparably angry and schizoid "Obscene." The band only got better musically from here, as evidenced on the previously-mentioned releases (and the band is the main reason to listen to the latter-day Rollins before he fired his original players). Here, on _The End of Silence_, though, we have the complete emergence of a world-class "rage rock" act, full of monstrous chops and full-tilt out-of-control angst on Rollins's part.

So this was the more or less plain-spoken classic of the beginning of the grunge era. Where Kurdt used Rimbaudian poetic indirection and Chris Cornell & Co. opted for Sabbathy apocalypse, Rollins just came out and screamed about what frustrated him ("I'm so confused/ Can't find the line/ Between what I use and abuse"--"Obscene"). He continues this approach often to this day, but it's hard to believe it any longer. It probably just keeps him in his penthouse for another year to put out an album where he's toeing that line. I can still listen to _The End of Silence_ and believe that he's preaching the angry blues here to save his life. Since the music matches this sentiment from start to finish, it felt revolutionary in '91. Now, well, it's indispensable for those times when you just gotta punch a wall, right up there with _Master of Puppets_ and precious few other heavy albums.
