Description
This 1981 recording has the Sticker on the back cover that says: "AS A PARENT I FOUND IT AN ANTI-PARENT RECORD..."
Damaged is a 1981 album released by the American hardcore punk band Black Flag on SST Records, their first full-length LP. It is widely considered both a classic of the era and the peak of Black Flag's career. In 2003, the album was ranked number 340 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
Black Flag was an American punk rock band formed in 1976 in Hermosa Beach, California. The band was established largely as the brainchild of Greg Ginn: the guitarist, primary songwriter and sole continuous member through multiple personnel changes. They are widely considered to be one of the first hardcore punk bands.
Black Flag forged a unique sound early on that mixed the raw simplicity of the Ramones with atonal and microtonal guitar solos and frequent tempo shifts. The band was also known for the intense and evocative lyrics found in their songs, most of which were penned by Ginn. Like other punk bands of this era, Black Flag gave voice to an anti-authoritarian, non-conformist message, featuring songs punctuated with descriptions of isolation, neurosis, poverty, and paranoia, themes that would be explored further when Henry Rollins joined the group as lead singer in 1981.
