title="Slip It In"
description= Sample of Black Flag "Slip It In" from "Slip It In" (1984)
format=Ogg "Slip It In" is an album by the American
hardcore punk band Black Flag released in 1984."Slip It In" is an extension of the sound Black Flag utilised on its predecessor "
My War ", that is: heavy, intense, dense and progressive. It also featured Rollins' further development as a songwriter, contributing to four out of eight tracks on the album and the debut of bassistKira Roessler .Unlike "
My War ", with a first half offered some consolation to fans of the conventional punk rock of "Damaged", "Slip It In" aggressively pursued the new sound that Black Flag would develop until their demise. Critics said that their new sound was moreheavy metal than thepunk rock the band had been famous for."Slip It In" also demonstrates Black Flag’s increasing use of instrumentals with the menacing "Obliteration" where
Greg Ginn demonstrates his new, more complex playing style. Fan favorites include "Black Coffee" and "Wound Up".The title track features
Suzi Gardner , who would later become a founding member of L7, doing vocals and moaning.Track listing
