Los Angeles is the debut studio album by American rock band X, released on April 26, 1980,[1] by Slash Records.

It was produced by ex-Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek and includes a cover of the 1967 Doors song "Soul Kitchen".

Ken Tucker wrote in Rolling Stone that it "is a powerful, upsetting work that concludes with a confrontation of the band's own rampaging bitterness and confusion.

"[11] Robert Christgau of The Village Voice wrote that their outlook and songs "make a smart argument for a desperately stupid scene.

"[5] AllMusic's retrospective review concluded that the album "is considered by many to be one of punk's all-time finest recordings, and with good reason.
