[4] It is also the first album by lead singer Henry Rollins after dissolving his longtime lineup featuring guitarist Chris Haskett and others.

"[6] Initially, Rollins had been planning on making a solo record, which would include collaborations with both Mother Superior and Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

[7] Haskett had believed that the band was going to reconvene following their hiatus, and that Rollins' work with Mother Superior was simply going to be a side project.

According to Rollins, DreamWorks "hated" Get Some Go Again due to its different sound when compared to previous releases, but he never told his bandmates this, since they were about to go on tour and he didn't want to demoralize them.

[5] Henry Rollins said in 2000 that the album "sounds like Thin Lizzy and Black Sabbath and John Lee Hooker or Lightnin' Hopkins", and claimed that "I'm very happy with Get Some, Go Again.

The band's show at the Danish Roskilde Festival on July 1, 2000 was later released on a live album titled A Clockwork Orange Stage, which was put out on Rollins' own 2.13.61 label.

Headliners Oasis and Pet Shop Boys both canceled their scheduled appearances at the festival following the incident, out of respect for the families of the victims.

As a result of the clash, Fox instead offered him a role as host of an upcoming horror anthology series called Night Visions, which he accepted.

In 2000, CMJ New Music Report compared the album to Motörhead, and claimed that it replaces the "arty, jazz-metal of the previous Rollins Band with undiluted, unforgiving, 200-proof rawk".

While the band was entering into new territory, featuring acoustic and jazz work, Rollins was stomping down the same path he had since his days in the Washington, D.C., hardcore scene.

"[22] Paul Schwarz of extreme metal website Chronicles of Chaos gave it an 9 out of 10 in May 2000, writing that Rollins "has distanced himself from the gritty, bitter taste of 1997's Come in and Burn", adding that "the result is less subtle but ultimately more solidly rocking."

Schwarz also noted that the album showcases Rollins' "undying passion for classic bands like Black Sabbath or Thin Lizzy.

"[18] The Lawrence Journal-World's March 2000 review stated that "the muscle man has returned to his roots (both his volatile Black Flag days and teen-age favorites) to craft what is assuredly the most accessible Rollins Band album."

"[23] In 2021, Alternative Press included it on their list of the "Best Punk albums of 2000", reflecting, "[in the 1990s] Rollins Band became an alt-metal powerhouse, dominating MTV with 'Low Self Opinion' and 'Liar'.

Their sixth album found the entire band replaced by Los Angeles hard rockers Mother Superior.

Get Some Go Again was perhaps more straightforward than such LPs as Weight, possibly slightly less funky and jazzy, like hearing Rollins sing atop Jimi Hendrix and Black Sabbath outtakes.
