The Argument was released by Dischord Records on October 16, 2001, along with the EP Furniture . Arion Berger of Rolling Stone called the album “bracing” and “intellectual” and Chris True of AllMusic “spine-tingling and ear-shattering all at once”, writing, “the band has raised the bar for themselves and others once again.” He also wrote that the album had “touched on strange new territory”. By this point Fugazi was on tour less, due in large part to other professional and personal commitments. It performed only 32 shows in 2001 and 2002. Even though the number of performances dwindled, during Fugazi’s last tour they performed in front of over roughly 70,000 people.
