Rollins Band - Hard As Nails

Review by Ab Acosta

Hard As Nails is the fifth studio album by the American rock band Rollins Band, released in 1994. The album features the signature intensity and raw power that Rollins Band is known for, with heavy guitar riffs, driving rhythms, and Henry Rollins' commanding vocals.

The album kicks off with the explosive track "Hard", which sets the tone for the rest of the album. "What's the Matter Man" is another standout track, with its driving bassline and catchy chorus. "On My Way to the Cage" showcases Rollins' spoken-word style, while "Love's So Heavy" is a slower, more introspective track that allows Rollins to showcase his vocal range.

The album's production is crisp and clear, allowing each instrument to shine through. The guitar work of Chris Haskett is particularly impressive, with his heavy riffs and intricate solos adding depth and dimension to each song.

Summary by Ab Acosta

Hard As Nails is a solid album that showcases Rollins Band at the top of their game. Fans of the band's earlier work will appreciate the raw energy and intensity of the album, while newcomers will find plenty to enjoy in the band's unique blend of punk, metal, and spoken-word poetry.
