Music reviews of Life Time

Music Review: A defining moment in my musical life...
Rating: 5 Stars

I don't remember how I happened to buy this on cassette as a teenager at a mall in NJ in 1993, but it couldn't have happened at a better time. (I also marvel to this day how this indepedent label production happened to be for sale at a Sam Goody back then!) My girlfriend had just broken up with me a few weeks prior, and I was in the "teen angst" mode that we all go through at some point at that age. I couldn't have prepared myself for the onslaught which tore out of my stereo speakers later that night, and needless to say I've been hooked on Rollins Band ever since. I can remember actually being startled when Henry's screams started at the beginning of "Burned Beyond Recognition", and as much as he would probably hate the comparison due to his self deprecating nature, I can only equate it to the first time I heard The Stooges, one of his favorite bands. The intensity of these songs really threw me for a loop, and as fate would have it a few weeks after I bought this tape I inherited my next door neighbor's weights when he went to college. I think I must have listened to this album a few hundred times in my parent's basement while doing my epic workouts my junior and senior years of high school. To this day, I have never heard anything as intense as "Gun In Mouth Blues", EVER. Hank was fresh off his six year stint in Black Flag, and in my opinion his voice never sounded better than it did during the sessions that produced this album and on the subsequent tour of Europe that resulted in the "Do It" album. I don't think I have ever listened to a song or two off of this album, I have played it all the way through every time. I also adopted Hank's habit on this album of yelling "YEAH!!!" in my own singing for a couple of years, although I definitely didn't do it with as much conviction as he did! (I thought it was funny that another reviewer actually counted the number of times he said it on this album; I thought about doing that at one point but was sure I would lose track!) This album to me represents what Rollins has expressed admiration for in some of his favorite albums such as Black Flag's "The First Four Years" or the Stooges "Fun House": bursts of intensity condensed into a batch of hard hitting jams. In addition, I have to note that Chris Haskett's guitar playing was so above the average hardcore playing style that it led to my eventual interest in jazz. The whole band was just amazing; to this day seeing this band (although without bassist Andrew Weiss, who was eventually replaced by Melvin Gibbs) play in Washington D.C. in 1994 was the best show I have ever seen. Of course the year after I got this album Rollins became the "Liar" guy on MTV when the band really broke, but this is the one that got me hooked and I've been looking for music that will knock my socks off the way this one did ever since. (I even became known as the "Rollins guy" in high school and college due to constantly wearing my End of Silence t-shirts.) I don't have the shirts anymore, but I do have this album's cover art tattooed on my shoulder. This disc is one that I don't listen to much anymore but its influence has been absorbed into my DNA, it's undeniable. Very rarely in my music listening life have I been changed by hearing an album, and the older I get the more I chase moments like the time I first heard this one. I used to say to all my Metallica loving friends that these songs make Metallica sound like a symphony orchestra, and that was years before James and company actually made an album with one! The CD reissue includes four live songs recorded in Belgium on the Lifetime tour in 1987, and they are just as slammin' as the studio songs. "Move Right In" is one of my favorite songs from this era of the Rollins Band, and the live version included here doesn't disappoint. They just don't make 'em like this anymore...
