| | Fugazi Repeater CD Fugazi Discography of CDs
 (5 Customer Reviews)
For Fugazi's second full-length release, the band unleashed a fierce set that expanded on the strongest elements of 13 SONGS. The ominous, slowly building opener, "Turnover," gets things off to a guitar-heavy start, and other thrillingly aggressive tunes include the groove-laden title track and the punky, lurching "Break-In." This restless energy carries over into Fugazi's lyrics, as sung by co-frontmen Ian MacKaye and/or Guy Piccotto, which hit with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, as exemplified on "Merchandise" ("You are not what you own") and "Greed" ("You wanted everything/You needed everything"). This is where the quartet solidified its well-documented anti-establishment reputation.
REPEATER is also notable for its two instrumentals--the highly rhythmic "Brendan #1" (named after drummer Brendan Canty) and the almost jazzy "Joe #1" (named after bassist Joe Lally). Based on these excellent tracks, it's no surprise that subsequent Fugazi albums consistently featured an instrumental or two, with each one showcasing the group's remarkable sense of unity, melody, and invention.
REPEATER originally released on Dischord (44). 3 SONGS originally released on Dischord (43).
Personnel: Guy Picciotto, Ian MacKaye (vocals, guitar); Brendan Canty (drums).
Fugazi: Brendan Canty, Joe Lally, Ian MacKaye, Guy Picciotto.
Spin (9/99, p.138) - Ranked #36 in Spin Magazine's "90 Greatest Albums of the '90s."
Alternative Press (7/95, p.89) - Rated #50 in AP's list of the `Top 99 Of '85-'95' - "...This album is another compelling example of the inevitable conflict of desperate everyman values so keenly articulated by Supermen. REPEATER is a sarcastic request. Don't repeat. Do your own thing!..."
NME (Magazine) (1/26/02, p.23) - Included in NME's "Most Influential Emo Records Of All Time" - "...A masterpiece...Generally recognized as one of the greatest 'alternative rock' albums ever..." Fugazi Repeater Songs | 1. | Turnover |

Repeater Music Review Average Rating: (4.4 out of 5 stars)   just the best
i don't even listen to much rock or hardcore anymore these days but when i was a freshman in high school these guys played in my high school gym during a weeknight (atholton high school, columbia maryland) after repeater had just came out. i was already a minor threat fan at the time and i loved the first 2 ep's from them and was hoping to hear something from those albums, disappointingly enough they only played "bulldog front". all the songs they *did* play were off repeater which i had not heard yet. i got repeater the next day and it just blew my mind and will always be one of my favorite records. that night they played in my high school gym will always be one of the finer nights of my life and among my fondest memories. since the show, i moved around a lot to different parts of the world and no one *ever* believes that fugazi played in my high school gym when i tell them haha... so funny.

| | Minor Threat Complete Discography CD (1988)
Repeater
$10.65  
The Washington, D.C. straightedge hardcore punk scene began with Minor Threat. The band recorded two LPs on its own Dischord label, plus an EP and the miscellaneous singles that are collected on this CD. Many of the early recordings on this collection seethe with teen-age angst and indignation. The songs rage against bullies, religious hypocrisy, and the herd mentality.
Other songs, taken from later in Minor Threat's career, feature tighter and more sophisticated playing. Metallic flourishes tinge the guitar work, vocal harmonies abound, and song dynamics vary more than on the earlier record. ...

| | Fugazi In On The Kill Taker CD (1993)
Repeater
$9.55
In on the Kill Taker is like scrubbing your face with steel wool. It finds the band relying on rusty guitar shards that scrape, seethe, and hiss, further removing itself from the sound of 13 Songs and Repeater. Harsh and grating, Fugazi surprisingly produces sheer noise at times, best witnessed in the lengthy closing of "23 Beats Off" and the unintentional Gremlins homage that opens "Walken's Syndrome." Joe Lally's bass and Brendan Canty's drums are relegated to acting as a guide; they're pushed -- but not squashed -- down in the mix, allowing for Ian MacKaye and Guy Picciotto's guitars to take control, corrosively so. It's probably Fugazi's least digestible record from front to back, but each track has its own attractive qualities, even if not immediately perceptible. "Facet Squared" and "Public Witness Program" open the record ...
| | Fugazi Red Medicine CD (1995)
Repeater
$9.99
Fugazi are as notable for their "political music for the common man" approach as for the stop-start riffing that made their guitars-and-gestalt-therapy sound into an industry buzz. Their 1995 album, RED MEDICINE, reasserts the band's grasp on alterna-angst and charging guitars--enough so to make your jaws lock.
Yet, RED MEDICINE isn't just another exercise in Fugazi-style political manifestos; on it, Fugazi come across more as musicians than politicians. The yelping "I have something to prove" tone of previous releases has relaxed into a more confident approach. The dueling guitars ...
| | Fugazi Argument CD (2001)
Repeater
$9.55
Possessing few peers in the world of fiery, angular, angry indie-rock, D.C. icon Fugazi holds an unassailable place at or near the top of the DIY aesthetic. THE ARGUMENT, their eighth full-length release, still exhibits the unpredictability of form, jagged edges and impassioned, potent lyrics that carried them through the '90s. However, with its underlying melodic hooks, it hearkens back more to early-'80s art punks like Mission Of Burma or The Fall. On tracks like "Full Disclosure" the sound looks even ...
