This came out in 2000 — or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Rollins Band? More like Thin Lizzy.
On his powerful, fiery new disc, cranky Renaissance punk Henry Rollins gets in touch with his inner rock star — and damned if it doesn’t turn out to be the ghost of his long-time idol Phil Lynott. Teaming up with L.A. rock trio Mother Superior, Rollins shelves the proggy art-punk of recent years, cranks up the amps and issues his hardest-rocking set since his days fronting the mighty Black Flag — not to mention the first album on which he actually sings instead of just bellowing. I wasn’t kidding about that Thin Lizzy thing either, kids. Between his raspy bark and the band’s wah-wah-soaked, twin-guitar riff-rock, Get Some Go Again could be called The Boys Are Back In Town Again — And They’re Pissed Off. (A sizzling cover of Lizzy’s Are You Ready? with Scott Gorham on guitar only reinforces the Lizzy comparisons.) For those who miss the spoken-word, Liar-era Rollins, there’s the final unnamed track, with Henry delivering one of his long-winded anti-Hollywood rants over a funky jam with The MC5’s Brother Wayne Kramer. Either way, it’s a treat to hear Hank kick out the jams again.
