At least the songs were short
Still don't like punk.
Absolutely not.
Shit
this was terrible
Yeah, nah. I'm not going to go through this again. Survived 10 minutes, probably world record.
Just noise and screaming
mucho ruido
I don’t like this kind of music
Ruido
not mine, to damaged
Such a unique sound
SIX PACK!
A rare DNF
The usual useless screaming.
I almost couldn’t get through this one.
This feels harsh but I just couldn't. I don't think I would've been into this even during my "punk phase"
Not my thing
Should be called red flag. Not my jam
No. Depressing guitar grind, AGAIN.
Another day, another Punk album I hate. Compared to Junkyard, Damaged sees a bit more of goodness; I could actually bear a full listen. That being said, I didn’t; enjoy it. The quality quite literally dropped immediately, with the only semi-enjoyable track being Rise Above. All in all, Damaged is a trash album. Best Song: Rise Above
Not for me
Shite
Not my music
Thought the first song was fun punk metal but utterly hated the rest.
Punk oder auch Free Jazz sind Musikstile, die mich nicht berühren. Das sind Geräusche von einem fremden Planeten.
Well...I tried...
unlistenable to me
made it halfway through the first song before giving up on the album
No thanks
Couldn't stand listening to "screaming".
They probably have a strong urge to punch something. At least it sounds like it
not enjoyable
Hardcore Punk ist nicht so meins.
Terrible death metal type stuff.
The t-shirts and logo are cool. The music utterly worthless. It's as if they wanted to create the most idiotic and ugliest music possible. One recommends the chapter in Michael Azerrad's excellent book to listening to this toxic noise.
Sub par punk from the guy who sued Negativland.
0.5 - the reason this isn’t 0 is because they played some instruments
There will be an end of the spectrum for punk, metal, and possibly some other genres that is gonna be unappreciate-able for me, and this Black Flag album is at that end of the punk spectrum. Six Pack is slightly more engaging than the first two tracks. But barely. Oh my days the vocals are so bad, the mixing is so bad. Its not even loud and punky enough. TV Party is an embarrassment. This is really hard to listen to. Its so difficult to relate to this noisy angst in 2023, it just gives me angry irrational white man vibes. Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie maybe the least bad song so far. My favourite moment of the album was the abrupt stop at the end of Life of Pain. If you separate context and influence from the music, there is as close to zero redeeming quality to this as is conceivably possible. 0.6/5
Awful. Zero stars.
Nah, not one for the top 1,001. Didn't find a single track I liked. Unfortunately, it's a 1 from me
Jag är skraj för Henry Rollins.
Not a punk person, either
This is definitely a punk album. Short songs, fast paced, heavy sounds, lots of talking about just wanting to have beers with friends. Did not do it for me, would not want to listen again. No songs that stick out positively. 1/5
pas ma came du tout
Teveel teringherrie
Amai.
Punk...loud noises!!!
Has some feel of something like Ramones in the tone, but very annoying to listen to overall. Creaky music and scream-y. Just not my jam at all. 1.5
Kept the Spotify station after listening and discovered it’s not just Black Flag. this is not the genre for me. Very muddy and difficult to hear the lyrics which surprises me as I am aware of Henry Rollins’ spoken word stuff. Best enjoyed by sweaty men colliding with each other violently in a mosh pit, which is something I have never understood the appeal of
kuivakausi...kuivaa kautta.... 8 vuotta ei mitalia mm kisoista...paitsi tänään...PRONSSIA!!!!! wuolma murto.... rikkoi sen kaudenm.. .mutta albumeissa jatkuu.. paskaa albumia jällleen kerran kuka osasu odottaa, minä. minä osasin odottaa rise above
The people who "largely ignored" this album on it's release most certainly made the correct choice.
Nope
Even when I was young, angry, and listening to skater punk, this would’ve been too hard.
Three 1's on the bounce. Hardcore punk is also not my thing
sucks
hated it
A huge success if they wanted to create the most idiotic and ugliest music possible. One wonders how many of the people who wear the t-shirts (with the admittedly cool logo) actually have heard the record.
Il faut imaginer Sisyphe heureux
raoult le chat assassin a dormi comme un bébé à 30cm des enceintes diffusant ces paisibles mélodies
I can see whey this album was largely ignored by critics and the public at the time of its release - the big mystery is how it got on this list.
It's not that i don't like metal/heavier music, it's just that this ain't it for me
Noise
One of the songs has the lyric “depression will kill me”, this cured my depression as this album is now what will kill me
Ya, I can't do that.
….Absolutely not for me.
Nur gut so meins, eher Punk und sehr generisch
Un dolor. Casi le pongo un 2 porque me empezó a gustar una canción, pero luego me di cuenta de que esa canción ya no era de ellos, sino era sugerencia de Deezer :D.
No redeeming qualities at all in this. One star is generous.
One star for keeping it to 30 minutes long.
Awful
Ehh
ну а какой оценки вы хотели?

Boring, repetitive, ugly noise. The instrumentation on songs such as "TV Party" and "Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie" would at least be tolerable if it weren't for the thoroughly grating vocals. If this is what anarchy sounds like, I'd rather just be a conformist. Out of the 10 albums I've listened to from this site so far, this is the first I can not imagine revisiting a single track from. This particularly nasty brand of hardcore punk is just not for me. Standout tracks: None
I hate the singers voice so much Im sure this is a great album that was influential and helped grow punk but I am not a fan of punk so I give this a 1/10
mean to nardwuar
Too shouty
Nope nonsense thrash metal
Not for me.
Nope, too weak
Yea no miss me with that
no interest in this one
Well that’s 35 mins of my life I won’t get back. I thought public image ltd was bad, this seems to have taken that art form to whole new depths, words fail me. Again, in order to appreciate the good you have to sample the bad, and that’s what this is, the new low point
No thanks 🤷🏼♂️
Sorry Henry, too noisy.
Nix für mich 😬 klingt irgendwie alles gleich und es gibt kaum Abstufungen in Power und Lautstärke, aber kenn mich da auch nicht aus
I found this ok, but maybe a little too much over breakfast. When it got to ‘Gimme Gimme Gimme’ I was hoping for an ABBA cover…
Pretty rough album that may be the most punk sounding album I’ve heard. The lyrics are messy. The vocals aren’t good. The instrumentals are chaotic. It’s punk but not the kind I like. 2.7/10
Too hard
Not a fan of the punk rock
Horrific. Nails on the chalkboard.
Hardcore punk isn't my stuff.
punk never really did much for me, always felt you had to be there to really appreciate it this album really could be 2/3 the size or length 1 - terrible, can't stand any of it whereas Another Music In A Different Kitchen had something for me at least this has nothing and could be parody and it would not surprise me just preachy screaming nonsense
Influential my arse !
Not good
Not my cup of tea. If you are into this kind of music perhaps they are among the best, but I honestly can't tell if this is a good or bad band within this genre. It's just noise to me and I was having a real hard time to even finish listen to the whole album.
not my cup of tea
Flaming pile of trash
I can see some people liking this album. It just really isn't my speed. This came across as ear-grating l, headache inducing nonsense. I'll stick with the Sex Pistols and the Ramones when I listen to punk rock.
Couldn't listen to all of it 🙁
Could take it or leave it.
Punk is one of those genres that I've never got on with, this album did nothing to change that. The songs are short lived but unfortunately there's a lot of them and they all sound very similar. 1*
I really thought I would like this... But it was a bit too much. Too loud, too angry, too shouty.
Sorry, no.
Ik zie hier echt de lol niet van in
shite. I mean, it's revered as this groundbreaking US punk, but, it's still shite. and i like punk..
Childish lyrics, tuneless shouted vocals, unsubtle instrumentation. If a comedy sketch show was to make a parody of a punk album, it would sound like this. One novelty song on an album can be fun, 15 is just tiresome.
Nada
I do not like this kind of music at all. I'll elevate it to a 1.5 because of TV Party.
My favorite part is when it ended. I won’t be giving out many 1 stars but this one sure earned it.
Damaged is what my ears were after listening to 5 tracks of this. No thanks.
Not much into heavy metal. Couldn't make it through Rise Above, which is apparently the most listened to song on the album.
pass
Ich verabscheue Punk. Erste 4 Schläge, gleich scheiße. Nach den ersten 3 Takten vom 2. Song habe ich ausgemacht. Möchte ich nicht hören müssen.
Ist etwas arg punkig. Nicht so meins
punk...
