9''Repeater'' is the debut album by American PostHardcore outfit Music/{{Fugazi}}, released April 19, 1990 and later bundled with the previous ''3 Songs'' EP (''[[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Repeater + 3 Songs]]'') a month later. As expected of a hardcore album, the concepts explored centre around greed, violence, sexuality, privacy, drug abuse and death.

36* IndecipherableLyrics: It's hard to discern what Picciotto's saying.
37* {{Instrumental}}: "Brendan #1": named after Brendan's prominent drumming featured in the song.
38* LyricalDissonance: Averted, most of the subject matter fits with the instrumentation.
39* ShoutOut: The album's title is a reference to ''Music/{{Revolver|Beatles Album}}''.
