Harsh and grating, \u003cstrong\u003eFugazi\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoe Lally's\u003c\/strong\u003e bass and \u003cstrong\u003eBrendan Canty's\u003c\/strong\u003e drums are relegated to acting as a guide; they're pushed -- but not squashed -- down in the mix, allowing for Ian MacKaye and \u003cstrong\u003eGuy Picciotto's\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Facet Squared\" and \"Public Witness Program\" open the record furiously, but the majority of the following \"Return the Screw\" is hardly audible, aside from occasional vocal tantrums. A good amount of time is spent alternating between low-key guitar noodling and intrusive bursts of aggression. They're smart with their sequencing, placing the gentle instrumental \"Sweet and Low\" (the only track where Lally plays a prominent role) after the exhaustive cacophony of \"23 Beats Off,\" and generally piecing together a set of rather diverse tracks that flows well. Picciotto's anti-Hollywood rant on the properly titled \"Cassavetes\" is a classic Fugazi moment, as is his similarly name-dropping \"Walken's Syndrome.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuried at the end of the record are two excellent lurchers, MacKaye's \"Instrument\" and Picciotto's \"Last Chance for a Slow Dance.\" Not Fugazi's finest hour, but one of its most daring and rewarding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e— Andy Kellman,\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAll Music Guide\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fugazi","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":58596818649423,"sku":"DIS70LP","price":7.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":58596818682191,"sku":"0","price":3.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Vinyl (Import)","offer_id":58596818714959,"sku":"0","price":5.63,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/2164\/3343\/files\/FugaziInontheKilltaker.jpg?v=1787984694","url":"https:\/\/www.vinylforger.com\/products\/fugazi-in-on-the-kill-taker-1993","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
