What The...

"What The..." is the seventh studio album by the American punk rock band Black Flag. Released on December 3, 2013, it marked the band's first full-length release since "In My Head" in 1985, ending a 28-year gap between albums. The album features a lineup with founding guitarist Greg Ginn and Ron Reyes on vocals, who previously sang for the band during their early 1980s era.

The album’s musical style continues in the hardcore punk tradition that Black Flag is known for, while incorporating elements of the experimental style that characterized their later releases. "What The..." has received mixed reviews from both fans and critics, with some appreciating the return of the band and others critiquing it for not capturing the raw energy of their earlier work.

The cover art, featuring a minimalist cartoon style, was designed by Ron Reyes and Greg Ginn, differing from the band's classic, more iconic artwork. "What The..." is known for re-incorporating Black Flag's aggressive sound, characterized by Ginn’s distinctive guitar work, but did not involve their former vocalist Henry Rollins, who had become synonymous with the band in its later years.

This album came during a period of controversy and legal battles involving Black Flag’s members over the rights to the band’s name, reflecting the complex history and changing dynamics within the group. Despite these challenges, "What The..." represents an attempt to rekindle the band's legacy while navigating modern music landscapes.
