There was quite a buzz circulating around the Rollins Band after their show-stopping performances on the inaugural Lollapooza tour of '91 (they had the dubious task of warming up the crowd in the sweltering afternoon heat). After several independently issued albums, the Rollins Band issued their first domestic effort, THE END OF SILENCE, in 1992. The band benefited from opening tour slots with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Beastie Boys, as well as from alternative rock's crossover to the mainstream. THE END OF SILENCE is one of the Rollins Band's strongest releases. "Low Self Opinion" was an MTV favorite, while other tracks such as "Grip," "Tearing," "You Didn't Need," and "Obscene" caught the band at their most fiercely rocking.
In early 1991, months before recording their breakthrough album, END OF SILENCE, the Rollins Band set up in a small studio and charged through new material with a ferocious intensity. Every song was recorded in one take, and the vocals were done on the spot. After sitting untouched for over 10 years, those tapes were released in 2004 as END OF SILENCE DEMOS.
The songs hold up remarkably well--"Low Self Opinion" and "Tearing," both of which became singles, marry Henry Rollins's dead-aim social critique to full-tilt sonic assault. On "Grip," which borders on progressive metal with its change-up rhythms and circular riffs, it is the band's musical chops that impress. What's particularly noteworthy about DEMOS, however, is how the fierce energy of the ensemble is captured in a relatively lo-fi manner. Though utterly listenable, DEMOS is miles removed from the high-end, compact sound of END OF SILENCE, and the experience hearkens back to the DIY ethos of punk. The disc is of interest, therefore, not only to fans of the band, but also to those keen on recapturing the homespun sound of early alternative rock.
Recorded at Showplace Studios, Dover, New Jersey.

End Of Silence Music Review Purchase End Of Silence CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Minor Threat Complete Discography CD (1988)
End Of Silence album
 $10.65    
The Washington, D.C. straightedge hardcore punk scene began with Minor Threat. The band recorded two LPs on its own Dischord label, plus an EP and the miscellaneous singles that are collected on this CD. Many of the early recordings on this collection seethe with teen-age angst and indignation. The songs rage against bullies, religious hypocrisy, and the herd mentality.
Other songs, taken from later in Minor Threat's career, feature tighter and more sophisticated playing. Metallic flourishes tinge the guitar work, vocal harmonies abound, and song dynamics vary more than on the earlier record. On certain songs, Ian MacKaye's lyrics address the complexities of friendship, loyalty, and self-expression. "Look Back and Laugh," ...

| | Uriah Heep Conquest CD (1989) (Import) +5 Bonus Tracks; United Kingdom
End Of Silence album
$11.99 
Digitally remastered by Mike Brown and Robert M. Corich (1997).
Using the departure of John Lawton and Lee Kerslake as the catalyst, Uriah Heep discarded the outmoded style of Fallen Angel for the contemporary sound of Conquest. Similar to High and Mighty, the arrangements are relatively agile, favoring strategy over sheer force. However, vocalist John Sloman, late of Lone Star, is an acquired taste. He tends to twist around the words (even launching into an Eastern chant at times) like a lower-octane version of Geddy Lee. It's a distraction, one made more visible by the band's decision to clean up their music with modern instruments and effects, and the final product sometimes feels like the Alan Parsons Project with Tim Finn at the microphone. Uriah Heep seems to evolve in fits and starts, resting at one spot for too long and then jumping ahead of fans' expectations by reinventing themselves (often in concert with a personnel change). Still, Conquest may be a better album than anything recorded by the John Lawton lineup, at least judging by quality of material. "No Return," "Imagination," "Won't Have to Wait Too Long," and "Carry On" are all good tracks, even if they're not readily identifiable as the work of Uriah Heep. "Feelings" follows in the footsteps of such popular ballads as "Free Me," although Sloman's voice simply isn't the best delivery mechanism for this. Elsewhere, bassist Trevor Bolder emerges as a solid songwriter, even taking lead vocals on the closing "It Ain't Easy" (not to be confused with the old Ziggy nugget). Yet the band again chafed at change, and after a pair of singles they broke up, with Bolder and Mick Box soldiering on without Ken Hensley for the first time in a decade. ~ Dave Connolly
