Informative review I found:

Weight was the Rollins Band's breakthrough into the mainstream and remains their best album. While their previous album The End Of Silence was an unfocused affair with many of the songs tending to drag, Weight cuts out all the fat as every song here is very strong both musically and lyrically.

This album is best known for its memorable video/single "Liar" which starts out as a mellow jazz tune under Henry Rollins' soft spoken vocals before getting heavy during the choruses. While this is the most well known track, many other songs here match its brilliance. "Civilized" and "Step Back" both rely on a killer groove before dropping down in tempo midway through before regaining its original momentum. "Alien Blueprint" is a fantastic tale of a former outcast who doesn't let his past ruin his future. "Shine" is another great tune driven by a groovy riff and more of Rollins' great self-help lyrics. "Disconnect" is a mid-tempo track driven by the excellent rhythm section of bassist Melvin Gibbs and drummer Sim Cain that is also very strong. The momentum slows down on the grinding "Volume 4" and the slow jazz of "Tired" which concentrate more on mood and Rollins' vocals which speak of a man wrestling with his emotions. Other great tracks include the driving "Icon", "Fool", and "Wrong Man" which are all carried by Chris Haskett's killer riffs and wild yet creative soloing. Rarely has an album been released that combines controlled anger with such great lyrics and musicianship. Highly recommended.
