| | Greg Ginn : Dick - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | Both albums were released only months apart, yet stake much of the same sonic turf: murky vocals, spluttering guitars, and battering rhythms that naturally recall Ginn's former pioneering band, Black Flag. |
 | | However, where Getting Even is a tight, focused affair, Dick giddily mixes terse instrumental outbursts like the fuzz bass-driven "Never Change, Baby" with scattershot punk ("I Won't Give In" and the grinding, almost-metal "You Dirty Rat"). |
 | | Often copied, Ginn's jangly defiance has never been assimilated, as the handful of instrumentals show. |
