I'm not sure where most Fugazi fans would place In On The Kill Taker on their list of the bands best albums but to me it might place on the top. Kill Taker was recorded in 1993 and was the bands third full length. The band originally recorded the album in Chicago with Steve Albini but unhappy with the results they decided to rerecord it back in their home-base of D.C. This album catches Fugazi at the height of their powers combining the raw energy of their first two albums with the artistry that would dominate their next releases. The album starts off with what might be the strongest one/two punch of any Fugazi album with Facet Squared and Public Witness Program. What's really great about this album though is it's range. You can go from Sweet And Low which sounds just like it sounds to the almost Minor Threat ready political punk of Great Cop.
