I want out

Fugazi took some guff for going out on a slightly more accessible note. Or because they got a little fancy with the music. Or was it for cracking an occasional smile and admitting they don't live in a monastery? At any rate, I'd like to counter any sour grapes with this track from their swan song. It's got some nice stingray guitars and a good daily helping of Guy's wailing and flailing. But then, wait, they go all "ooh ooh" across the chorus and rock an arena-sized buildup and release. And then some well-focused harshness suddenly arrives to usher them out with their sneer intact.
