Original My War

Description

Anger, depression, paranoia and despair. These themes were all explored before the release of “My War”, the mammoth second album by Huntington Beach punk pioneers Black Flag. There may have even been some dramatic lip service given to the concept of emotional collapse and the experience of hitting zero degrees psychologically. But this was something quite different. Far from a superficial examination of the ambiance of alienation felt by their audience at the time, “My War” quickly establishes the bands ability to capture the zeitgeist in this non-trivial and genuinely unsettling presentation.
