Negative Positive
Title: Not Punk, Pointless.
Review: If you're looking for Black Flag music, this isn't the album for you. This is spoken word and instrumental. Yep, I missed that on the cover when I purchased the album and regretted it.The spoken word might have a few nuggets of gold in it, but not enough to buy the album or continually listen. The instrumentals aren't good enough to stand alone. Plus, I believe in the immortal words of MC5: "Kick out the Jams,..." Punk was the answer to self serving instrumental pieces like the ones that fill the last half of this album. This album reaffirms my belief that artists shouldn't break boundaries just to break them. It usually results in mediocre art.For the die hard Black Flag fans, embrace this album. I'm not trying to stop you. For music fans, avoid this album. It's pointless.
