 Those who loved the sense of precariousness, anger and frustration in Black Flag can live happily without listening to this album.

 The only point you can make against Henry R. is having ruined in an absolutely unforgivable way “My War”, simply the most beautiful song ever written by the Los Angeles group.

Rise Above is a 2002 tribute and benefit album organized by Henry Rollins, featuring covers of Black Flag songs by renowned rock artists. The album offers modern reinterpretations of punk classics to support the West Memphis Three case. While the collaborative spirit and guests like Lemmy, Mike Patton, and Chuck D enrich the project, some reinterpretations, especially 'My War,' receive criticism for losing original pathos. Overall, it’s a fun and meaningful homage, though not fully satisfying for punk purists. Listen to Rise Above and explore this star-studded tribute to Black Flag while supporting a meaningful cause.

 For exactly 66:23 minutes, I am struck dumb with astonishment and remorse of what I have done.

 "Wild Love" could be used as background music for a family dinner it’s so fake.

Wild Love is a compilation of unreleased tracks by Iggy & The Stooges that fails to meet fan expectations. While musicianship and recording quality are decent, the album lacks the raw passion and intensity typical of the band. The vocals are unimpressive, and the overall effect feels like a bland blues jam session. The review advises fans to seek individual tracks online rather than purchase this release. Discover the truth behind 'Wild Love'—read the full review and explore classic Stooges tracks instead!
