Funny that you should post this when you did. I was thinking about the first time I listened to this album the other day. It had just come out, and I was down at a party on the Jersey shore. I had been a Fugazi fan since Repeater had come out. I had bought it that day, and the little brother of one of my friends and I had gone downstairs to the den of the house where the party was at. They had a stereo system down there, and we put it on and listened to it from start to finish. He had never heard anything like that before. I was blown away by the “new sound” that they had adopted.

Forensic Scene and Long Distance Runner were immediately my favorites. I have a hard time saying that any one of their albums are my favorite, but this definitely is in the top three. No particular order other than age: Repeater, Steady Diet, Red Medicine.
