Citizen - As You Please (October 6, 2017) Album • Page 38

wait, are you saying the crowd reaction is better for SN?

 

Yeah, I know, the score, but it's cool this even got Pitchfork coverage. Citizen: As You Please Album Review | Pitchfork

EDIT: review reads better than a 6.5. His main complaint is that the parts that should "pop" just exist in the same space as the rest of the instruments. He thinks ITMOIA is the best song, and I can get down with that.

 

Which is pretty much the same complaint I think most people in this thread have, so I'd say that's fair.

 

Oh no I just meant the new songs by Citizen.

 

yea respectable review.. I'd probably give the album an 8 on my scare which is about a 6.5 on pitchfork scale... I really wanted this to be a 9 for me it just isn't... I had to turn it off two days ago listening to it, I just wanted to put something else on.. the idea that it is a fatiguing listen is a good point.. my ears feel shot when I'm listening to it but when I turn it down I feel like it feels really flat. Songwriting is there but they missed with the production on this one... I hate saying bad stuff about bands I like ha.

 

I don't feel as harshly about the album as some of you (and even harsh here isn't really that harsh). I get the complaints though. It's the most enjoyable release by them for me by far though, so I'm happy.

 

I have really enjoyed the album so far...but also really agree that production makes the album sound like one long song.
Prob the first thing from Yip since Balance's second LP that has actually hindered my listening experience.

 

He gave it the same score he gave After the Party so this album must be a 10

 

Ian consideres 6 and 7s good scores

 

Why they're playing that and not Medicine or World is beyond me

 

Forgot about that... But he doesn't really like Menz that much if I remember correctly

 

Anybody else get that red mixtape of 'curiosities'? Tracked down a tape player and Im going to listen tonight.

 

I really do love this album, so many highlights. "Discrete Routine" and "Control" are in my top 5 best songs from them, ever

 

Anything interesting?

 

Its only 3 tracks but its pretty cool. More electronic versions of Discrete Routine, World and You Are a Star. There are some bits of other songs in between as well but they are pretty short. Its cool, but for some reason I was expecting a bside or two.

 

Finally going to see them tonight for the first time in four years

 

So jealous! I want this! One of my favorite movies.

 

might have to pick this up next Thu

 

Whatt! Could this be a shoutout to Eric from the King?

 

Really coming around on this record. I think I put too many expectations on it before. Hype got to me.

 

First listen in a while and I’m enjoying it a lot

 

Yea this is how I feel as well

 

Throw me in that bucket too. I had no desire to listen to this for a few weeks and then World came on a couple days ago and I was way into it

 

Loving this album more and more with each listen. Songs will just stick with me all day. Favorites off album will constantly change but have a deep love for As You Please, Ugly Luck, Control, and Flowerchild

Speaking of, anyone going to a show on this tour and can pick me up a tour-copy of the vinyl record with the alternate cover? I passed on it during the Chicago show and opted for the box set. Though I love the box - I'm feeling a bit of remorse - any help would be amazing and I can send you the cash+shipping on quickpay/$cashapp. Pm me! Thanks :)

 

I think I’ve listened to enough to finally say that i don’t like Medicine.

Not sure what it is but it feels a little paint by numbers for them.
