Product Description
CD Description
LOVE, the brand new studio album from the incredible Flipper was recorded with the great Jack Endino at the helm, known for having recorded many of Seattle's greatest Grunge albums, including Nirvana's Bleach. First studio album in over 16 years. Recording took place at the Murky Slough Studios, on Krist Novoselic's property in Washington. Bruce Loose, Ted Falconi, and Steve DePace would regularly travel to Krist's for writing and recording sessions, and affectionately referred to it as 'Band Camp". With Krist providing bass, the band dug in and recorded one of their best efforts yet combing noisy guitars with that perfect low end bass and the grind of life and love. LOVE was designed to be a twin and companion to FIGHT. A well balanced experience from the one and only FLIPPER. The punk band formed in San Francisco, California in 1979, until the mid-1990s, then reuniting in 2005. The band influenced a number of grunge, punk rock and noise rock bands. Their slowed-down, bass-driven, and heavily distorted style of punk is also considered a key forerunner to sludge metal and bands such as The Melvins.

Back with a vengeance

The silence has been broken at long last. FLIPPER is back, and this album is ten times more satisfying than American Grafishy. Admittedly, it starts off a little weak (Be Good, Child! and Learn to Live sound like they were phoned in) but beginning with Only One Answer, Bruce Lose gets into perfect voice (which, as fans know, is perfectly awful) and Ted Falconi matches him with the slow-motion wreck of a guitar sound that we've grown to love. The whole album is a growling, heavy mess of post-punk goodness. For anyone worried, Kris Novoselic works out perfectly here. The basslines were always the most important element of FLIPPER songs and his talents are not wasted. Highlights: Triple Mass, Night Falls, Old Graves.

When I heard Flipper was finally rereleasing their back catalog AND had a new studio album out I freaked out and check all the local records stores. I searched for weeks, noone had it in stock!!! Generic, Gone Fishing, and their live albums are some of my favorite all time records. I even like American Grayfishy! After reading so many positive and enthusiastic reviews online I ordered the cd and it, uh... kinda sucked! It was like American Grayfishy part 2 but minus the good songs. Generic had some of the best lyrics, catchiest basslines; Gone Fishing was a great experimental record pushing the boundries of what they were capable of; ofcourse all their singles are timeless classics; Public Flipper Ltd shows how cool they were live and has great songs they shouldve done in the studio also; Blowin Chunks has great feedback and noise; American Grayfishy atleast showed they could still write good lyrics and catchy rhythms. I'm happy they're still together but Love is weak. I hate to say it but only a couple of the songs are really that good and they're mostly towards the end of the album. The first 2 kinda blow. It has dirgy bass lines, noisy guitar noise, steady drums, and shouted half spoken vocals so it is Flipper so its still cool but get their old stuff first.

I mean no offense to fans of the late Will Shatter, but I gotta say, Mr. Novoselic fits right in on this album.
He seems to have an influence on the rest of the band too, as many of these songs have TWO bass parts now!
But I jest.
All that you fellow Flipper fans need to know is that the album sounds great (dig that big gritty bass tone!), the bass lines are stunningly catchy (really! They're the tops!) and Flipper still is as noisy and churning as always.
Its not totally perfect, but what a great band, and what a great album they've put out! If you like what they've done before, and don't have any aversion to someone else playing in Shatters place, there's no reason for you to not like this album.
"Love" is a truly good Flipper album!
