"Whether it's the heaviest jazz record in history or the most intricate hardcore document to date, THE END OF SILENCE is the unrelenting and uncompromising sound of outrage, and as frontman, Rollins is a primal scream personified."

"The Rollins Band is a post-everything, jazz-tinged, metallic combo that begins where the most exploratory (Black) Flag stuff left off and takes it out."
"...THE END OF SILENCE is the best Rollins work to date, arguably Henry Rollins' career high. The album is poised, yet horrific."

"Rage has rarely had it so good."
"He could certainly teach a thing or two to the new generation of frustrated young rockers ..."
"...this is his crowning achievement."

"Pumping shards of armoured funk and lacerated blues through the black veins of hardcore with no concessions to weak or ambiguous sentiment..."

"The quartet of songs that open THE END OF SILENCE should be bronzed as examples of how good music can actually take over your head."
