'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). this is where the quartet solidified its well-documented anti-establishment reputation.
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"). for fugazi's second full-length release, the band unleashed a fierce set that expanded on the strongest elements of '13 songs'. On Repeater (1990), Fugazi honed both primary elements that made its earlier material so immediately jaw-dropping: the eardrum-popping guitar assault of hardcore and the simple, funk-laden grooves. Cd version with three extra tracks from dischord 43 7".
