24. Repeater + 3 Songs

Repeater + 3 Songs by Fugazi
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Lots of yelling, very little singing, but that's punk for ya. These guys kind of sound like Offspring, but I think they're better.

"Brendan #1" is, I'd say, one of the best tracks with hefty rhythms and a very pleasing, powerful bass riff with intense guitar. While entirely an instrumental track, I think it's great.

"Merchandise" starts off with a rockin' beat with signature punk vocals that straddle the aural zones of chanting, yelling, and singing all at once.

"Blueprint" has a very somber, beautiful start, but a very snarky, half-intoxicated vocal breaks in with "I'm not playin' with you", which creates a dissonance you wouldn't immediately anticipate.

The album is tied off with 3 songs that were originally released as an EP. If you want to listen to some lively punk, I'd recommend the Sex Pistols, but these guys aren't bad.
