Damaged
“Black Flag’s debut LP is a living document of hardcore, a mutable album of anger, empathy, and politics. Its raw power is still felt today, and its influence on the genre is incalculable.”
My War
“Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today we look at a 1984 record that rewrote the rules of punk, balancing hardcore’s jackhammer attack with dirge-like heavy metal, and helping pave the way for grunge, stoner rock, and beyond.”
What The...
“The new seventh Black Flag LP appears after a yearlong mire of dueling reunions, media mudslinging, a failed lawsuit and—less than a week prior to the record's street date—a fallout with vocalist Ron Reyes, who appears on the album. Amid all that, it's easy to forget it's the first new music in 28 years from one of the great American rock bands.”
