This album would have been better without their inclusion. This is probably my least favorite album from the kings of hardcore, but even at their worst, Black Flag is better than many other punk groups by miles.

My favorite "song" off this album is definitely "Let The Fingers Do The Walking." Great piece of poetry. I would love to hear a remix with some beats in the background. Or I'd like to hear a hip hop song that samples the "chorus." It's perfectly suited to some heavy beats.

Because of that album cover, I gave it a listen or five on Spotify. Damn, I really like this album, especially the spoken word portions of it. I've been watching a lot of dark movies and reading dark comedies and such, so I felt that this might be a good album to check out if the cover is that crazy. I've also noticed that I play like Henry Rollins when I'm super stoned haha. Anyway, ramble aside, I'm glad that you posted this so that I could find it.
