This is way better than the singles let on for me, when they released Can't Take it Slow, I felt that might be the case. When I let you Down is the worst thing on here, by a margin too.
Vibing this hard today. I think EIGTH is the only Citizen album I'm not fond of. This one is a hit for me!
Going to have to spin their discography soon. really enjoyed this on two listens today. Huge fan of LIYGW. I remember enjoying EIGTH but haven’t spun it in a long time. Not sure I ever listened to Youth. And never even knew of As You Please until just now when I saw it on their Wikipedia. Based on how much I enjoy this and the last album this band could seriously jump up my favorites list depending how the rest of their discography stacks up.
Was always one foot in one foot out with these guys, but this album is my cup of tea. They nailed it. Love this direction for them. Immediately my favorite album from these guys.
Definitely my least favourite album of theirs but it has some moments. They take a lot of cues from Angel Du$t on this
Damn, the middle section of this record is the strongest section IMO. Lay Low, Needs, Bad Company, and Dogs? Yeah. Top tier Ciz.
Thanks for sharing this. Mat’s one of my favorite musicians and I just realized I’ve never even heard him talk before. Lol I’d love if it he did this for his most recent solo album
I was fortunate to have it since March and yea, it got the most spins from me in the summer ha. Good news is you’ll still have it for next summer!
Pretty obsessed with this, honestly. Feels like it’d be fun to pair with the Militarie Gun album. Think I’m going to be blasting this one for a while.
Took a few listens but i'm into it. I think it lacks the variety of LIYGW but the hooks are undeniable "I'm Calling the dogs and we're gonna get RUFF"
