dreamover Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Almost two years to the date of the release of their breakthrough album, Citizen return with their highly anticipated follow-up full-length, Everybody is Going to Heaven. Haunting these ten songs is a foreboding, dark atmosphere masterfully crafted by producer Will Yip, and an immediate, intense energy is palpable from even the first grimy seconds of the opener, Cement. As with every one of Citizens releases, Mat Kerekes signature vocal delivery here is a trademark feature, demonstrating the emotional tension that boils over on this release. As cathartic as ever, he duels between a soft croon and a haunting scream, confronting his demons on tracks like My Favorite Color echoing the tormented refrain, my heart still beats for nothing. And while most of the record is an intense and noisy onslaught, songs like Heaviside and Yellow Love act as armistices, each aching in reverb-drenched consonance. Everybody is Going to Heaven is a defining record for Citizen: once regarded as newcomers with undeniable potential, the band shows here that they have matured both abruptly and uniquely, with no end to their upward trajectory in sight.

Shinji Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 If there isn't at least one version of this with an image print of the eyes glued to a cardboard jacket like the GY!BE F#A# is, that's a missed opportunity, because that would look perfect.

dantheriver Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Jeff is super nice, fyi.This. A couple people in the other thread were badgering the shit out of him after he already politely explained the situation and it escalated slightly. Nothing too out of the ordinary for a VC discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
