Recorded at Off Beat Studios in Leeds in 1987 and later released that same year, Life Time would serve as the debut album from ex-Black Flag frontman Henry Rollins and clarify beyond a shadow of a doubt that the unhinged punk poet didn't need to rely on the compositional machinations of one Greg Ginn to succeed. Produced by childhood friend, Dischord Records founder and Minor Threat/Fugazi/Embrace mastermind Ian MacKaye, and crafted with the first iteration of the Rollins' Band which featured Chris Haskett on guitar, Andrew Weiss on bass and Sim Cain on drums, the material operates as somewhat of a bridging point between the hardcore fury of early Black Flag and the more intense jazz-centric experimentation Rollins was becoming increasingly obsessed with, as many have gone on to refer to the work as post-hardcore meets funk metal. While more in line with 80s hardcore than future albums and lineups from the ever-shifting collective, the album is quintessential in not only mapping out Rollins successful solo endeavours across the following decades, but also cementing his legacy as a fearless innovator with little regard for genre parameters.
