Damaged

Damaged was a 1981 (see 1981 in music) hardcore punk album released by Black Flag on SST Records, their first full-length LP. Many critics at the time dismissed this album as "unmusical", though it is now considered both a classic of the era and the peak of Black Flag's career.

Black Flag had made at least two aborted attempts to record a full-length album since the release of their first single Nervous Breakdown with singers Keith Morris, Chavo Pederast and Dez Cadena; some of the Pederast sessions became the Jealous Again 12" EP, while the other sessions would later comprise the Everything Went Black double album. At the time of the recording, Cadena had moved to rhythm guitar (a position he had initially intended to take when Pederast was still in the band) and 20-year-old Washington, DC expatriate Henry Rollins had become the band's new lead singer weeks before the sessions occurred. Unlike Pederast, who had never sung in a studio before, and Cadena, who hadn't even sung before joining the band, Rollins already had one recording credit to his name with the short-lived DC hardcore punk band State of Alert, who recorded a 10-song 7" single earlier in the year.
