| | Black Flag's second EP, 1980's JEALOUS AGAIN finds the band with a new
lead singer, Chavo, whose Everypunk vocals were less distinctive than
those of his predecessor, future Circle Jerks frontman Keith Morris,
but perhaps better suited to guitarist Greg Ginn's unpretentious
anthems of punk life. The five speedy and short songs on JEALOUS AGAIN
are practically the archetypes of hardcore punk. Where the songs on
NERVOUS BREAKDOWN, the band's 1978 debut, were beholden to British punk
tropes, these more streamlined songs are harder, faster, louder, and
considerably more powerful.
