Steady Diet of Nothing is Fugazi's first self-recorded album, and although this created some tension within the band, they ultimately decided to record it straightforwadly. It thus continues on the same vein as Repeater, but with a much less hardcore-oriented approach. The guitars are more syncopated, there are clear noise rock influences, and the production is very dry. Couple that with the band's dislove for this record, and you've got their least critically acclaimed record. However, coming out in 1991 - the Year Punk Broke - it sold a fuckton of copies, and at the very least it allowed the band to be known beyond their realm of influences. Also, as well as for Unwound, as far as worst albums go this one is pretty killer.
