Black Flag's musical assault, Slip It In, is another move away from hardcore and another step forward towards sludgy guitar grunge. This record is a mix between the MC5 and Black Sabbath, it has the 5's free jazz punk aesthetic, and Sabbath's power blues guitar, but Black Flag turns it up to 11! Rollins sounds more pissed than ever, he's all
Wound Up lookin' into
Rats Eyes setting foot in
My Ghetto. Title classic hit track,
Slip It In and similar sounding
The Bars are the hit tracks on this album, both are driven by freight train bass riffs, but only one,
Slip It In, features a pre-L7 Suzi Gardner doing backup vocals. Slip It In might not be the best Black Flag record ever put out (he...he), but it changed the whole definition of punk rock and influenced the 90's scene .... I think you can guess which one .... so slip it on in ... in .... innnn!!
