What's so special about Black Flag?

>>74113861
they be fucking radical and you know it

They let you seem dark/troubled for enjoying them. It's like the Swans of Hardcore.

>>74113861
They were able to justify their anger in their lyrics.

TV PARTY TONIGHT

>>74113861
Nothing. Their signature recordings aged terribly in every single aspect.

>>74113861
Honest raw anger. Henry is entertaining. They didn't want to conform, even to the punks. The best kind of edgy.

They invented sludge metal

>>74113861
Relatable lyrics, tight songwriting, Henry is a beast. On their later albums they have really tight instrumentation too. Listen to Who's Got the 10/2? sometime.

Is it just me or is their production really fucking quiet? I can barely hear Damaged.

>>74114007
generally use replayGain or just turn up the fucking volume

>>74114007
also look up "loudness war"

also yeah it's you

>>74114050
It's not that, it's just that all of the instruments merge together into a quiet, muddy mess. Unless that's the point.

HILL STREET BLUES

Nervous Breakdown is the best template for a traditional punk release being a short EP that's straight to the point.
My War is among the first albums that does sludgy music, codifying the genre.
Family Man's second side is very interesting take on jazz (if that's what you can call it.)

Henry Rollins cult of personality. Minor Threat is better anyway

What's their best album? Or where should I start and what should I listen to next?

>>74114914
nervous breakdown and damaged for more straight punk, then my war and slip it in when you're ready to move forward. after that then their later stuff and lastly the process of weeding out

Not even that they didn't want to conform, they just didn't care about it. They wore whatever they wanted. Greg Ginn dressed like a fucking dork half the time. They also played whatever they wanted.

>>74113962
also this

>>74114007
My War is definitely way too quiet

>>74114720
Family Man is pretty underrated desu

Pic related is their absolute best work though. Blurs the line between hardcore and metal so well. Plus the drums on that record are godly.

motherfuck forgot pic related

>>74115206
Easily their best album. I never really got into any of the ones that came after it.

>>74114755
Rollins and MacKaye grew up together and even got into punk music together.

It just feels wrong to pit the two against each other.

>>74114755
it is better but I can barely understand the lyrics

>>74113881
this

Is it acceptable to wear a Black Flag shirt in public?

>>74116219
yes but only if you are a cool guy
are you a cool guy?

>>74116246
The big kids at school don't bully me.

>>74116263
you are a cool guy then

>>74116219
If you have to ask then no

Cool band but the whole skinhead thing is problematic.

>>74115088

Jesus, even at that time look at his chiselled jaw and masculine physique.

>>74116362
hes short though so it balances it out i guess

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE

>>74113861
If you have to ask. you'll never understand.

QUINCYYYY

The Process of Weeding Out instrumental EP shouldn't be forgotten about.
