The general consensus with Black Flag is that after Damaged the band went off the rails and became a warped caricature of what they used to be; while this is isn't without merit *coughFamily Mancough*, Loose Nut shows that this can't be attributed to all of their post-Damaged releases.

Yes, the album trades in the all-out aggression of old for an experimental (though still at times intense) sound that sees the band go places you wouldn't expect, nor would you expect them to work. It is art rock meets hardcore; I can easily see how some would instantly reject this sound but if you are able to stick it out then you will find a good album behind the wackiness.
