With two EPs (combined into the classic CD \u003ci\u003e13 songs\u003c\/i\u003e) and two albums (1990's genre-defining \u003ci\u003eRepeater\u003c\/i\u003e and 1991's impressionistic follow-up \u003ci\u003eSteady Diet of Nothing\u003c\/i\u003e) inside of five years, Fugazi was on creative roll, astounding increasingly large audiences as they toured, blasting fist-pumping anthems and jammy noise-workouts that roared into every open underground heart. When the album debuted on the now-SoundScan-driven charts, Fugazi had never been more in the public eye.  Few knew how difficult it had been to make this popular breakthrough. Disappointed with the sound of the self-produced \u003ci\u003eSteady Diet\u003c\/i\u003e, the band recorded with legendary engineer Steve Albini, only to scrap the sessions and record at home in D.C. with Ted Niceley, their brilliant, under-known producer.
