Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Get Some Go Again (stylized as Get Some -> Go Again) is the sixth studio album by Rollins Band, released in 2000. It is also the first album by lead singer Henry Rollins after dissolving his longtime lineup featuring guitarist Chris Haskett and others. On this album, and its follow-up Nice, Rollins was backed by the band Mother Superior.
Henry Rollins came into contact with Mother Superior at the beginning of 1998, when they asked him to produce songs for their upcoming album Deep. After the collaboration, Rollins asked Mother Superior to return the favor and write songs with him. They booked rehearsal time in the same studio where Rollins had first practiced with Black Flag. Rollins and Mother Superior wrote three songs that night, with Rollins saying that they were "exactly the kind of music that I had always wanted to make."
Later in 1998, Rollins and the new lineup played a handful of shows together in the United States. The name "Rollins Band" was retained under the insistence of management, rather than Rollins himself. The last concert Rollins had played with the old lineup was on October 17, 1997 in Osaka, Japan, with guitarist Chris Haskett only finding out he wasn't in the band anymore through the internet in 1998, where he had read that Rollins Band were playing shows again.
Afterwards, recording for the next Rollins Band album commenced. In July 1999, Rollins Band went on a small eight show tour of the United States, where they previewed some of the new songs. Regarding the album, Rollins stated, "I'm very happy with Get Some, Go Again. I like the sounds, the playing, the takes, the soul and the passion, and feel that I have given it everything I've got. I'm very proud of the record." In a 2000 interview with the Tampa Bay Times, he also said, "I don't feel like a young person anymore. I listen to the lyrics of the fella from Limp Bizkit and I remember that angst. But I no longer have that. That's a young man's angst."
