Unwelcomed Songs covers the lyrical output of Henry Rollins from his first work in the late seventies when he lived in Washington DC, through his contributions to the Black Flag cannon to the first few years of the Rollins Band. In interviews Henry has said on many occasions that he has always tried to "bring the inside outside" lyrically. Usually blunt and visceral, his words make no apology and don't hold back, earning him die hard fans and harsh criticism alike.
