In My Head

In My Head is the sixth studio album released by Black Flag. All of the music was written by guitarist Greg Ginn, who intended to record it as his first solo album. After hearing the band rehearsing the album, singer Henry Rollins wrote lyrics for several of its songs. Many fans consider this record, though flawed, to be perhaps their best album musically. This is a sentiment shared by Kira Roessler, who played bass on the record, according to the biography of Black Flag "Spray Paint the Walls" written by Stevie Chick . The album represents Black Flag's final stylistic change, to free jazz and hardcore punk influenced heavy metal. It was released in 1985 on SST Records, and was their final album before their reunion in 2013. The CD reissue adds three of the four songs from the I Can See You EP, replicating the original 1985 cassette release which came out concurrent to the LP.
