Reviewed by Callum Ashworth, 247 Album Verdict

A raw, intense hardcore landmark of alienation and aggression. Pummeling and influential. A foundational document. The record that established what Black Flag was about.

On vinyl: Second-hand copies circulate widely; a clean original can be better value than a new repress.
