    This is out? Awesome! I was a Mat Kerekes fan before I was a Citizen fan, so I'm excited to hear this.

    The intro of canvas sounds like "Move Along"

    Out tomorrow, officially, streaming today.

    I didn't pay close attention to the lyrics, so I hope they're up on Bandcamp tomorrow to read along while listening.

    Second time through, melodies on this are actually quite similar to the last citizen record at times

    Please be kind. Like actually kind though.

    AOTY contender for sure. When I heard there was a lot of slower tracks I was kinda worried it would be boring at times, but that doesn't happen and the tracks were placed really well.

    Just listened to this not knowing what to expect at all since I didn't listen to the singles but I love this record so much it's great

    I knew this would be great. Halfway through it and loving it. Mat is actually in like my top 5 fave vocalists so it's safe to say that anything he's involved in I'll be interested in hearing.

    I need more listens but Lucky #3 is a great jam

    Lucky #3 is my early pick, but it's close.

    "The Means of ( )" is strong contender for best song and hardest to say.

    ...For Anyone for me, it's not particularly dynamic, but man it gets me. So I'm loving this album, but does anyone else feel that the first 3 songs should have been spread out through the album instead of in a row?

    Yeah definitely feels front-loaded, not that the rest of the album isn't good there are just a lot of slower pace or stripped down songs.

    Yeah, that's the thing, plug in Lucky #3 or Direction in the middle of this album and I feel it would flow much better.

    Lucky #3 sounds so much like The Ocean Breathes Salty by MM but I still really like it. Album sounds good so far.

    I think my favourite so far is In Every Inch, In Every Mile. Gives me Transatlanticism vibes

    I'm beginning to really fall in love with this album. It's not something that will be in contention for my AOTY, but I think it's extremely solid front to back. Mat's melodies are very interesting to me, and I think he does a good job of spicing up the songs by adding things like strings, drums, bass, and piano. All the songs are rooted in a single guitar/vocals arrangement, but become a lot more than that. I'd love to get the lyrics in front of me.

    I'm curious to see how much I return to this in the fall, especially with everything else thats coming out.

    It's really solid. For a solo debut especially. Yellow love or heaviside wouldn't feel terribly out of place on here.

    This album pretty much assures me that we haven't heard the best citizen record yet.

    I'm gonna have to revisit that record. I remember really enjoying a few of the songs but I completely forgot about it as the year went on.
