Album – Generic Flipper

Album – Generic Flipper is the debut studio album by the noise rock band Flipper. It was released in April 1982 through Subterranean Records. It is also referred to as Album, Album: Generic, Generic Flipper and just Generic. The album, a noise rock, punk rock, and post-punk record, was recorded from October 31, 1980, to August 1981, and was produced by the band themselves, alongside Chris.

Upon its release, the album was positively received by music critics, and charted at number 27 on the UK Indie Albums Chart. It was issued on CD for the first time by American Recordings (formerly Def American) in 1992 and later deleted. In 2008, the rights reverted to Flipper, and the album was reissued on December 9, 2008, by Water Records. Former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic, who joined Flipper in 2006, contributed liner notes to the new reissue.
