Black Flag: My War (SST)
Don Watson, NME, 31 March 1984
TO SAY that Black Flag's Damaged was the punk LP of 1981, is tantamount to (if I may be allowed to lapse for a moment into the sick humour for which the LA punks are renowned) congratulating Sebastian Coe on winning a gold medal at the paraplegic Olympics.
