Album — Generic Flip­per is the debut album by the San Fran­cisco band Flip­per. Many fans say it is the band’s finest release, and it is def­i­nitely their most acclaimed release. In Novem­ber 2007, Blender mag­a­zine ranked it #86 on their list of the 100 great­est “indie rock” albums of all time. It is also referred to as Album, Album: Generic, Generic Flip­per, and just Generic. It is con­sid­ered a ground­break­ing album, the first album to play with the sludge and heav­i­ness of early Black Sab­bath but still be con­sid­ered a punk album.

Generic Flip­per was issued on CD for the first time by Amer­i­can Record­ings (for­merly Def Amer­i­can) in 1992 and later deleted. In 2008, the rights reverted back to Flip­per and the album was reis­sued by Water Records on Decem­ber 9th, 2008. For­mer Nir­vana bassist Krist Novoselic, who joined Flip­per in 2006, con­tributed liner notes to the new reissue.
