Description
The Argument, the final album before the band took an extended and possibly permanent hiatus. Its easy to see why the venerated D.C. group would be comfortable closing its career here; The Argument brings its four players full circle. Guy Picciottos Full Disclosure and Ian MacKayes Epic Problem give the album two songsone from each frontmanthat reconnect to the bracing physicality that defined Fugazi in its earliest years. At the same time, the album marks the final step of the groups long trek to extricate itself from its early punk roots. With deep dub inflections and whispering piano, The Kill and Strangelight might make listeners think that film composing should be the band’s next chapter. As has always been the case with Fugazi, the songs that blend extremes stand out from the pack. Cashout, Life and Limb,” and The Argument join the ranks of the groups classic songs.
