Released on Subterranean Records, Generic Flipper rejected the era’s “faster-shorter-louder” arms race in favour of something heavier, slower and far more corrosive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded between 1980 and 1981, the album thrives on tension: Will Shatter’s molten bass and dual vocals with Bruce Loose, Ted Falconi’s scraping, glacial guitar and Steve DePace’s blunt, repetitive rhythms combine into a thick, confrontational mass. It’s playful and paranoid in equal measure, wilfully abrasive yet strangely hypnotic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lyrics cut deep. ‘Ever’ opens with stark existential dread, while ‘Sex Bomb’ stretches into an eight-minute churn of looping bass, saxophone and effects, pushing punk towards something closer to nihilistic art-rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImitated endlessly by noise rock and sludge bands since, Generic Flipper still stands apart. Few matched its mix of acidic guitar, metallic low-end and deadpan, sardonically sharp writing. Decades on, it remains a benchmark for punk at its most stubborn and subversive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA1    Ever   \u003cbr\u003eA2    Life Is Cheap\u003cbr\u003eA3    Shed No Tears  \u003cbr\u003eA4    (I Saw You) Shine    \u003cbr\u003eB1    Way Of The World\u003cbr\u003eB2    Life    \u003cbr\u003eB3    Nothing   \u003cbr\u003eB4    Living For The Depression   \u003cbr\u003eB5    Sex Bomb\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col class=\"ol1\"\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003col class=\"ol1\"\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Forte","offers":[{"title":"LP Colour - SV210","offer_id":56496017834363,"sku":"G3","price":32.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/3020\/0134\/files\/ab67616d0000b2730fff505b67046a7b30f5c9ec.jpg?v=1791463050","url":"https:\/\/www.mixeduprecords.com\/products\/flipper-generic-flipper","provider":"Mixed Up Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
