In the noise-drenched songs presented on Generic Flipper, it's easy to see the squalling backdrops that Kurt Cobain would polish up and turn into In Utero a decade later. The Sabbath-tempo power chords grind out a druggy, draggy atmosphere that takes hardcore and makes it despair. The result is a trance-inducing bit of bleak riff-mining, a drone album masquerading as an earth-shattering punk rock album. Nowhere is this more present than on the two side-ending tracks, the eight-minute "(I Saw You) Shine" that ends side A with an epically drawn-out headbang moment and album-closer "Sex Bomb", a seven-minute-plus exploration of one fundamental, primitive groove; if not for this album, the Melvins would likely never have existed.
Where You'd Know It From: That twitchy hipster-punk you knew in college who played it endlessly.
