Title: No matter what they say....no matter what they do....
Review: I think the musicianship on this album is stellar. They were doing things no one was doing, or was even capable of doing. However I've long wished that Ginn would re-mix this album. I think every aspect of its sound would benefit, including Ginn's guitar.Mostly what Black Flag did, especially in their later albums, was ingratiate themselves to the disaffected. The vibe of this album, for me at least, was the evolution of that ethos. Early on, the ethos was: 'The world sucks and no one knows you'. With this album, the caveat added at the end of that true-ism, is that you are responsible for what you do, and that you can't be the things you hated that were done to you without also becoming the evil of the world.That meant a lot to me when I was 15 and could not have articulated it. It means just as much to me now that I'm 36, and can barely articulate it.
Is the review positive or negative?
