The
3 Songs
EP was initially released as part of
Sub Pop
's Singles Club, and was eventually re-released on
Dischord
as a 7" and tacked on to the CD version of
Repeater
.
"Song #1"
actually sounds like a
Minor Threat
song in its directness, doing what it can to make things like records, haircuts, and the thoughts of others seem meaningless in the grand scheme of things -- "Life is what you want it to be."
"Joe #1"
is an instrumental showcase for bassist
Joe Lally
, also notable for what seems to be the band's first use of piano.
"Break In"
is a brief slice of anxious hardcore, thanks to
Guy Picciotto
's hyper vocalizing and the blazing instrumentation from the usual suspects. ~ Andy Kellman
