{"product_id":"flipper-generic-flipper-limited-color-vinyl-lp","title":"Flipper - Generic Flipper -  Limited Color Vinyl - LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eRecorded between October 1980 and August 1981 and released in 1982 on the indispensable Subterranean Records, this album functions as a chaotic, sticky mass of individual personalities: the magma-like bass eruptions and dual vocals of Will Shatter and Bruce Loose, Ted Falconi's icy guitar scraping and the relentless beat of drummer Steve DePace. At times playful and taciturn, paranoid and absurd, Generic charts a deliberate path that willfully chances destruction. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn early '80s punk, when the hardening default was \"faster-shorter-louder,\" Generic subverts the nascent hardcore scene with a strictly applied regimen of turgid-slower-heavier. The lyrics are bleak, yet unnervingly beautiful. \"Ever\" sets the tone with trademark restraint – \"Ever wish the human race didn't exist? And then realize you're one too?\" – while closer \"Sex Bomb\" is a churning, 8-minute epic with looping bass, saxophone accompaniment and electronic effects of dropping bombs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTons of indie bands have attempted to recreate Flipper's mix of acidic guitar, metallic bass sludge and sardonically brilliant lyricism, using the seemingly effortless template they pioneered; however, the effect usually drives listeners right back to Generic. While most of their contemporaries wilt under direct comparison, No Trend, the Butthole Surfers, feedtime and Church Police are a few who can stand the frigid heat. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA1:     Ever 02 58\u003cbr\u003eA2:     Life Is Cheap 03 57\u003cbr\u003eA3:     Shed No Tears 04 27\u003cbr\u003eA4:     I Saw You Shine 08 33\u003cbr\u003eB1:     Way Of The World 04 25\u003cbr\u003eB2:     Life 04 46\u003cbr\u003eB3:     Nothing 02 18\u003cbr\u003eB4:     Living For The Depression 01 25\u003cbr\u003eB5:     Sex Bomb 01 00\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sky Valley Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48511875154103,"sku":null,"price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/2555\/4103\/files\/1218644.jpg?v=1780332085","url":"https:\/\/skyvalleyrecords.com\/products\/flipper-generic-flipper-limited-color-vinyl-lp","provider":"Sky Valley Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
