Black Flag's Damaged is hardcore punk at its most volatile, the 1981 debut album that introduced Henry Rollins and set the scene ablaze.
The band had already burned through several singers and a handful of seminal EPs before Rollins, a fan from Washington, D.C., stepped up to the microphone. With Greg Ginn's guitar slashing and Dez Cadena moving to rhythm guitar, the group finally made a full-length statement on their own SST label. Its fury was so raw that a planned major-label distribution deal collapsed, an episode that only cemented its outsider status and its legend.
"Rise Above" kicks things off with a defiant, chanted anthem that still unites punks of all ages. "TV Party" is a wickedly funny swipe at couch-potato culture, complete with a singalong hook, while "Six Pack" skewers suburban boredom with savage humour. On the other end of the spectrum, "Damaged I" closes the album in a spiral of genuine anguish, Rollins sounding as though he is tearing himself apart.
Ginn's atonal, wiry solos and the band's tight, lurching rhythms make this a much stranger and more inventive record than its reputation for aggression suggests. On vinyl, it remains a cornerstone of American punk, as necessary now as ever.
