Provoked (Henry Rollins album)
Provoked is a spoken word album by Henry Rollins, released in 2008. It is a double-disc set consisting of live recordings from various performances during Rollins' 2007 "Provoked" tour. The performances on the album feature Rollins' characteristic blend of autobiographical anecdotes, social commentary, political observations, and humorous stories. Topics covered range from his travels and personal experiences to his views on American culture, world events, and the music industry. The album is known for its raw energy, intense delivery, and Rollins' often controversial opinions. It is considered representative of his later spoken word style, focusing on longer narratives and a more theatrical presentation compared to his earlier, punk-infused performances.
