Everything Went Black

Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox album Template:Album ratings Everything Went Black is a compilation album by the American hardcore punk band Black Flag. It was released in 1982 through SST Records. The compilation comprises early songs recorded before Henry Rollins became the band's vocalist in 1981, and was initially released without the group's name on its cover, due to their lawsuit with MCA/Unicorn. Instead, the names of the group members were listed on the first release.

Reception

In a 1983 Trouser Press review, Ira Robbins noted that only "side three comes close" to matching their best work, describing the album as "a potent dose of unrestrained hardcore, and an edifying trip through the convoluted past of Black Flag."<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>
