Loose Nut is the fifth studio album by American band Black Flag, released in 1985 on SST Records.

Reception

Spin wrote, "Henry Rollins' manic ravings make mascaraed posturers seem pale. This band goes off, takes a lot of chances, and when you hear this, you have a lot of fun. Who knows when radio programmers will catch up to them? Black Flag really deserves to be, like, bigger than Thriller."[7]
