This EP is the bridge between free jazz and punk. Though it is neither their most influential nor their defining work, it is definitely their best work next to Damaged.

Wow! A whole EP of Greg Ginn's solos, the worst feature of Black Flag's sound! What a great
idea!

The Process of Weeding Out actually is the process established by the band to weed out (ie: they were tokin tha reefer) those who were still expecting Black Flag to be a basic run-of-the-mill hardcore band. This is free jazz with punk instrumentation, in all its noise and dissonance. So yeah at times it's obnoxious, but it always evolves into something weirdly cool. While not all of their outputs are, well, good, Black Flag have proved they are one of the nicest surprises in music. Always evolving (not always for the best, but eh not every band can be Fall of Efrafa), they didn't care about what could be said of them. They just be playin' what they wanted. And if what they wanted was a brutal free jazzpunk record, then let's fucking go for it.

There's definitely something there... but it's just not complete, as you would expect. This is the epitome of "Punk", a genre that is exciting, violent, and off-the-wall... this is good, but without vocals you're missing half of the fun! 3.2/5
