Format:Audio CD
One of the finest records to ever be released in any genre, 'Repeater' remains - nearly 20 years later - a testament to all the things that were best about alternative music before it's painful commercialization took place in the early nineties.
Built on the interplay between some truly incredible drumming and bass-playing and guitars that burn with both ferocity and focus, the album moves from the almost playful to the downright intense, although most would probably note the holy trinity of 'merchandise', 'Sieve-fisted find' and 'Styrofoam' as the three tracks that not only define the album but the early Fugazi sound.
Like Big Black's 'Atomizer' and Sonic Youth's 'Sister' this is an album that anyone with even the slightest interest in punk needs to own.
By the way, 'Repeater' IS the correct album name. '3 songs' was an E.P that became bundled with the album some time in the mid nineties.
Beyond being a masterpiece. Truly transcendent. Do yourself a favour and get it now.

This album (Repeater) has to rate as one the top 10 best albums of all time, Fugazi's mastery of catchy tunes is hypnotic and awe inspiring/jaw dropping.
Do your ears a favour, and enjoy the the sounds of tight, crisp drumming, 3 dimensional basslines, gut-wrenching guitar work, and authorative vocals. 'Nuff said !

Entirely and utterly convincing punk-based rock, seperated from the rest by fabulous guitar sounds and intelligence. The sort of combination of rawness and musical expertise, that can only bring a smile to your face. Simply produced and powerfully performed, this sets Fugazi ahead of the competition by a long way. In the face of the crass over-produced pop charts and the fuzzy meddlings of the so-called New Music, Fugazi take things back to basics and give their songs space to live and breath. This is the definitive set, where other issues might be patchy, this never flags or fails.

A 90s hardcore punk gem
Fugazi opened the the decade of the 1990s with a blistering collection of abstracted theatrical and politically committed pieces of thundering dissonant sonic hardcore punk. Read more
