I am very saddened to see that the only Repeater + 3 available here is through an independent seller selling it for nearly $30.
That's blasphemy considering the band freezes all of their albums for $13 or under at the retail value. As a matter of fact I bought this exact album a few months ago at Border's for $13. So keep searching for it elsewhere until you find it. Special order it at a record store if you have to. This is a fantastic album that no greedy two-bit capitalist should benefit from.

this cd owns. notable tracks are turnover and sieve fisted find. super melodic postpunk. if you're into sonic youth, hot water music, and bear vs shark. check this.

Fugazi almost never dissapoints me. I love almost everything they have put out. There are a few songs on a few of their albums that I am not as crazy about, but this album is all great all the way through. If you like Fugazi, also check out "Tsicavo" by Braintree.

Refusing to charge more than $5 entry to concerts, which they stipulate must be all-age shows; refusing to make music videos or sell merchandise; freezing the prices of their albums at $10; and belonging to an independent record label, Dischord, (created by Fugazi singer Ian MacKaye) that distributes its profits to various charities, Fugazi are the ultimate punk band.

Despite their staunch anti-commercial stance however, the band has managed to amass record sales of over 3million units.

Fugazi's first L.P. Repeater showcases everything that is great about the band: anthemic vocals; politically-charged lyrics; innovative yet underrated guitar interplay between singer/guitarist-frontmen Ian MacKaye (formerly of seminal yet short-lived hardcore band Minor Threat) and Guy Picciotto; and an unrivalled rhythm section in bassist Joe Lally and drummer Brendan Canty.

MacKaye and Picciotto question everything in contemporary society in Repeater's 42 minutes: the military and the motives of governmental militarism ('Turnover'), consumerism (everywhere), drugs ('Shut the Door'), yet never come across as pious or sanctimonious.

Repeater is artfully aggressive, clinical yet abrasive, completely cohesive and almost unparalleled.

This is a great record, and the first I purchased by Fugazi (back in 1991). It is also the first of three records (Repeater, Steady Diet of Nothing, and In On the Killtaker) that, in my opinion, show the band at its apex creating truly unique and meaningful music. The songs on this record are much fuller, well-rounded and rythmic than the first Fugazi (two EPs collected on the 13 Songs CD). Also, on this record Fugazi's post-punk influences are more effectively hidden (although still present) within well-crafted songs that are more uniquely Fugazi. Songs like Turnover, Blueprint, Sieve-fisted Find and Repeater show great progression and a truly unique sound, while other songs like Greed and Merchandise are more straightforward, but no less effective. If you are looking for a good place to start with Fugazi, I can tell you from experience that this is it.
