Fugazi - The Argument Dischord No one can deny the importance of Fugazi to the world of music. Through the thick, thin, and major label buying frenzy, Fugazi stood their ground. Sticking to their guns, playing cheap shows and keeping record prices as low as possible, Fugazi has proven time and time again that you can do it on your own and become a success on your own terms. They have truly lived the American dream. Now, all that having been said, let's move on to their latest CD The Argument. There really is no easy way to say this, other than to just say it…this CD sucks. Okay, before you Fugazi purists out there flog me, let me explain why I believe this CD is not good. 1) I do get or like emo. 2) This CD has experimental written all over it. 3) Where are the hooks? Diehard fans of emo and/or Fugazi will probably love this CD, but I just don't get it. If you go into The Argument expecting Reapeater or In on the Kill Taker, prepare to be disappointed. The bottom line is, these are four extremely talented guys trying to push the boundaries of what they do, and if that was the real goal of this CD they succeeded. (db)
