Black Flag – Loose Nut

One of three LPs released by Black Flag in 1985, Loose Nut suffers from its creators’ rampant profligacy. Some of the record is under-rehearsed and under-ripe, yet when the group hits its stride, as on Henry Rollins’ brutal “This Is Good,” it’s hard to deny the group’s trademark, adrenaline-rush appeal. Other highlights include “Annihilate This Week” and “Bastard in Love.”
