Fugazi's "In On The Kill Taker" is way more amazing than I remembered

[FalseTodd]

There's a crazy scratchy telephone-voice backup vocal buried waaay back in the mix of "Smallpox Champion" that I never noticed before. Amazing. Have I never listened to this on decent headphones before?!? WTH.

 

[FalseTodd]

Good God this band was amazing.

 

[FalseTodd]

How can a drummer be so behind the beat but sound so fucking perfect at the same time?

 

[FalseTodd]

Answer: A totally amazing bass player?

 

[FalseTodd]

Also, perfect tom sound. None of that overhyped attack shit. Nice and boomy.

 

[avi]

the first couple songs on that record simply fucking KILL. absolutely my favorite Fugazi record.

 

[FalseTodd]

I think Repeater might still hold that honor for me, but goddamn I never gave this album enough credit.

 

[mindspell]

Unfortunatly not part of my musical education, another band to check out (everything I do these days seems to check out older stuff that I should have checked out long ago. The tribulations of the ignorant metal fan growing up...)

<--------my favorite fugazi album as well....

 

[avi]

I totally put this on after I read this thread

 

[FuSoYa]

I have never heard fugazi

 

[FuSoYa]

that's a lie, i heard an album once in the car with sam but i don't remember much further than that

 

[TheNewChupe]

actually, i must admit i have not heard fugazi as well.

I'm not sure why, but that made me extremely happy.

And to the rest of you: you should go buy a Fugazi album. Preferably one of these:

Repeater
In On the Kill Taker
13 Songs

Steady Diet of Nothing is also good, and then Red Medicine, End Hits, and The Argument are not as crucially ultimately vital as the above (but still pretty awesome, I think people overlook how high a baseline Fugazi sets and consider an album "terrible" cause it doesn't live up to their esteem for 13 Songs or whatever...)

 

[TheNewChupe]

i wrote them down and will track something down. i think i never checked any out just because i had no idea where to start.

 

[avi]

I think some of the later-era stuff might appeal more to Toby, but whatev. It's all good. One of the best bands of the last 20 years, easy.

I must say that I am heartily enjoying this band as well though the only album I have is Red Medicine as my old Latin Teacher not only told me it was one of their best but an essential of any record collection.

I like the Red Medicine, don't get me wrong.

"Forensic Scene" in particular is totally jaw-dropping.
