Reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- "Sonically, GENERIC stands up as a bleak-rock marvel thick with the dirt of the era....Its impact on Kurt Cobain is there in every nihilist twang of tracks such as 'Shed No Tears' and 'The Way Of The World.'", "..one of the most arresting records ever made...Great...belongs next to those other alienation classics, Black Flag's DAMAGED and the Angry Samoans' BACK FROM SAMOA..", "...Presaged what would become a prevailing trend in '80s post-'core: by slowing down proceedings, the emotional impact was enhanced...", Ranked #21 in Spin's "50 Most Essential Punk Records" - "...Doomy dirgecore anthems about existential futility...as lyrically caustic as their sulfuric guitars...", Included in Mojo's The 67 Lost Albums You Must Own! - "Remains the most relentless US punk set since the Stooges' debut...", 4 Stars - Excellent - "...Flipper bring to all their one-dimensional squalling all the antipathy and rancor being spoilt by the American Dream confers....If you've ever wondered what an ingrate sounds like, the answer is right here..."
