Reviews:
Even though Brady has so righteously pointed out that he's the only human qualified to review a Black Flag album with any shred of objectivity, with that in mind here I go. To get right to the point this ain't so bad. The sound is 100% Black Flag, with a well-needed easing up on the self-indulgence meter. The tunes appear to be well-executed, with all instruents locked tightly into place. As for Hank's vocals, the interplay between frustration and guitar blends right in, working for (instead of against) the non-stop chordal progression. When the message is able to come across successfully, as it does throughout "In My Head", suburban angst can be quite enjoyable.
