    There are some truly fascinating marriages of old and new happening.... One of the best albums you'll hear this year.

    'The Argument' is the sound of a band stretching out and thereby consolidating their position as a unique entity.
  3. All Music Guide

    Being both ear shattering and spine tingling at once, this is Fugazi at their "musical" best.

    The epitome of matching creativity with melody. This is music on a truly artistic level, yet it is still imminently approachable- no small feat.

    If you thought Red Medicine was a major leap forward, then you will be blown away by the Argument. Fugazi, more than almost any other band, has always shown an incredible ability to keep pace (perhaps even keep ahead of) the times while simultaneously retaining a distinctive style. Fugazi are as relevant as any band of the moment. The Argument is simply the latest in a parade of amazing albums. When's the next one coming out?… Expand
