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

Reception[edit]

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]
