FUGAZI
The Argument
2024 U.S. reissue
Blue Marbled vinyl

Fugazipalooza rolls on!

Sending this one out to @richardemeyers@mastodon.social , who feels this is the most UNDERRATED Fugazi record, and it’s a difficult thing to ARGUE against (pun intended).

It’s definitely the most MELODIC album they ever made. There’s certainly some hooks on this record that are bordering on pop-like, and the songs are arranged and executed in a much broader way than they’d attempted before. More sculpted and cohesive.

“Epic Problem”, “Strangelight”, “Ex-Spectator”, “Cashout”, “The Kill”… these are all amazing tunes.

If the naysayer diehards’ complaints were that it’s “too polished” or “overly pretty and melodic” or that the band was “aging out”, well…

those sound like YOU problems, dudes.

GREAT album, and definitely one of the first CLASSICS of the 2000s for me.

FUGAZI
Steady Diet Of Nothing
2023 U.S. Ltd. Edition reissue
Silver Metallic vinyl

I knew as soon as I put Repeater on yesterday that it would set me off on plowing through the rest of the Fugazi discography.
And here we are.

Repeater’s follow-up, and one of my three favorite Fugazi records.
“Reclamation”, “Stacks”, “Steady Diet”, “Polish”, “Nice New Outfit”… ALL Fugazi bangers.

Nice sounding issue, too.
