The Argument is an ecclectic musical score that can easily take over your whole life. Tingling the ear at first,
then taking over your brain with time, this album mixes lots of guitar with surprising little twists that Keep you excited
throughout the entire experiance. I've worn out my cd trying to pinpoint and prick the lyrics into my head from the
static beginnings to the glorious end. The best song to listen to is either The Argument or Cashout.
TA is an orchestral masterpiece as far as these indie rockers could go. Using the subtlety of a meek voice, and
perfectly placed drumming and guitars with a chorus that gets stuck in your head for days. Cashout is more
of a lyrical conquest. Talking about process, dismissal/ forced removal
of the people on the corner, EVERYBODY WANTS SOMEWHERE. The emotion that is evident in this entire project
makes me want to either scream from happiness and paranoia while at the same time write a new song or two myself. I
can feel their beat.
