Such a fun album! One of the albums which sold me on easycore as a genre and I love coming back to it every once and a while. The transition from the song Dead Men Tell No Tales into Mutiny! is epic. Highlight tracks: Mutiny!, Old Book Misread
I saw this album on a list of the best pop punk from the 2000s and loved the cover. A wizard fighting robot sharks atop a squid was kind of the fun vibe I wanted for that summer so I gave the album a listen and absolutely loved it. It is such a perfect pop punk/easycore album and always makes it into my summer rotation.
This album is everything—raw, urgent, and packed with some of the sharpest post-hardcore ever recorded. From the punchy opener "Turnover" to the anthemic "Merchandise", every track is pure energy. The dual vocals, tight basslines, and relentless drumming make it impossible to sit still.
Plus, the DIY ethos? Unmatched. No major labels, no overpriced merch—just pure, uncompromising music. 30+ years later, Repeater still sounds fresh, still makes you wanna move, and still reminds you why Fugazi was different.
If this is your first look into the realm of punk/post-hardcore scene, have fun.
This album turned 30 this year and is still ahead of our time imo. It rips so hard and takes its time with every track. I couldn’t name a favorite, but ‘Luau’ is almost 10 minutes long, and by the end of it I wish it were longer. It’s a very cathartic experience all the way through, if you need something to delve into your rage with this week.
My friend Liam got sent these by accident when he ordered vans and gave them to me since they sent him size 13. These shoes are goofy and I don't know who would buy them but I wear them all the time because I think they're really fun and have a lot of character.
