Tell me why this isn't 10/10

Tell me why this isn't 10/10

Pure fucking monotony. Damaged is the only good Black Flag album.

I disagree, My War is cool because it's very influenced by Black Sabbath, the only good metal band

My favorite part of Damaged is
"Hi. My name is Henry"

Nervous Breakdown>Damaged

DRINKING BLACK COFFEE

My War [SST, 1984]

Depleted by the kind of corporate strife I thought these guys were too cynical to fall for (which may be why they did), Henry Rollins's adrenalin gives out. The consequent depression is so monumental that even Greg Ginn succumbs, adding only one classic to his catalogue of noise solos ("The Swinging Man") and grinding out brain-damaged cousins of luded power chords behind the three dirges that waste side two. But things do start off manically enough, with the title tune (refrain: "You're one of them") and five minutes of Henry explaining why he smiles so much (which I never noticed). B-

EPs don't count

It's a good mix of hardcore punk and sludge.

For me it's a 9, but I wouldn't look twice if someone gave it a 10.

It's boring. Doesnt get good u til half way in. Slip it In(the best) and Damaged are better.

what if the second side isnt sludge but meant to be played at 45

it is

first tack is the best track pleb

>talking about hardcore
>EPs don't count

>never listened to black flag
>never listened to the GENRE
are they a good starting point?

Damaged is the best album to start off with. Pretty consistent throughout so you know what you're getting when you hear the first track.

Black Flag may not be the best starting point for 80s hardcore punk. I love their music, but they use a lot of metal influence and have some out there releases like Family Man.

Dead Kennedys is probably the best starting point for the genre.

listen to damaged then nervous breakdown
then listen to other bands

Alright, thanks guys

This post is so retarded it gave me cancer

Listen to hardcore britpunk

Bad Religion is a good gateway band, listen to Suffer

Bad Religion sucks

This record is damn-near entirely forgotten at this point but it was a big deal at the time and is still a solid introduction to US hardcore punk and probably punk in general as well.
Sampler of SST Records' early 80s roster, the picked cuts are all quality and there's a good deal of variety between the bands.
Aside from that, you'd do well to check out Why by Discharge for a taste of what was going on in the UK at around the same time.

While I don't agree with your opinion of My War I agree with your opinion concerning Damage and Slip it In.

This

If you stopped typing after the word Sabbath, you'd actually be correct.

lol bait

Do you want the family man or do you want the swingin' man?
Family man
You get the family man
Family man
FAMILY man
With your glances my way, takin no chance on the new day
Family man,with your life all planned;
Your little sand castle built, smilin through your guilt, family man
Here I come
Here I come family man
I come to infect; I come to rape your women;
I come to take your children into the street;
I come for YOU family man, with your christmas lights already up,
Your such a MAN when your puttin up your christmas lights,
First on the block;
Family man
I wanna crucify you to your front door with the nails
From your well stocked garage family man;
Family man;
FAMILY MAN
Saint dad! father on fire! ive come to incinerate you
I've come home

Because anything Black Flag did with Rollins is pure shit.
