If you told me, after listening to a bunch of garbage Black Flag records that I would find anything by any member of that band compelling I would laugh.
And then you would tell me to listen to this album and I would ask you, “Um…you? Is this Black Sabbath?”
And you would laugh and walk away and I would just keep listening.
That first track is better than anything Greg Ginn put out during that whole Black Flag oeuvre.
This thing is so delicious that I want to own it on cassette and listen to it on a cross country drive with X’s Wild Gift on the flip side.
“Dance of the Imbeciles” is better than anything Frank Zappa has been trying to do for a decade (and, yes, it’s the xylophone that called that to mind).
An incredibly accomplished thing that was a total surprise.
