Reviews & Opinions
PUNKY GIBBON: A more focused effort than My War, constituting their best material of this period, with eight (mainly) long numbers based on colossal riffs. The songs are so steeped in paranoia and pent-up frustration that it borders on the comic. Meanwhile, the catchy but moronic-ironic title tune takes them ever closer to metal without causing anyone to mistake them for anything other than a punk band.
JEFF BALE, MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL #17, SEPTEMBER 1984: After "My War", I was expecting the worst, but this new BLACK FLAG album is much better. Many of these songs have more streamlined drive and less self-indulgent pathos. Greg's metallic guitar playing is generally too dischordant and frenetic to fall into the HM junkyard, and Henry seems to have brought his most annoying pretentions under control (except on "Rat's Eyes"). Although nothing here approaches classics like "Nervous Breakdown " and "Jealous Again", songs like "Wound Up", the title cut, and "The Bars" are new reminders of BLACK FLAG's power.
