"Inevitably with an album of this scale, there are moments where Hart's attempts at role-play supersede the songcraft (like the one-note 60s-psych stomp of "I Am Death," or the wind-chimed haze of the overlong title track). But for all its sprawl, The Argument maintains a brisk pace, with a White Album-inspired sense of irreverence that ensures Hart never gets stuck in place for long".

"Ambitious doesn't begin to describe The Argument, but considering how relatively under the radar he's been flying in recent years, it's fun to see him reemerge with something big. It hits and misses, but it's a memorable record from a songwriter worthy of the attention".

"Det er en næsten 75 minutter lang rejse gennem hele 20 sange, der både genkalder sig Kurt Weill og Sonic Youth, Beatles og tidlig psykedelisk King Crimson. Der er den underfuldt smukke ballade »Shine, Shine, Shine« (noget både Hart og Mould altså mestrer). Og så er der »War In Heaven«, hvor Hart bruger lydsiden fra den forfærdelige videooptagelse af amerikanske helikopterpiloter, der skyder ubevæbnede journalister i Irak. Dén, som Wikileaks lækkede for nogle år siden. The Argument er med andre ord et spraglet og givende og tit ret så teatralsk sunget værk. Og det er strålende".
