3 (Violent Femmes album)

3 is the fourth album by Violent Femmes, released in February 1989. The songs on were performed by the three members of the band playing only drums, bass and guitar, with the addition of keyboards and saxophone. Chris Woodstra of Allmusic noted that the fans of the band's early days would "appreciate the slightly stripped-back acoustic production."[1] The song "Fat" was later featured in the documentary Super Size Me.
