teddy Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Citizen - As You Please For their third album As You Please, Citizen is looking inward. Pairing up again with longtime producer Will Yip, the band presents twelve songs that fuse aspects of their entire catalog into one neoteric whole. While the cathartic melancholy of their debut Youth and the jarring intensity of 2015’s Everybody is Going to Heaven are both present, the most welcome addition to Citizen’s arsenal on As You Please is the range of auxiliary instrumentation and sonic experimentation on the album. This is most notable on “In the Middle of it All,” where vocalist Mat Kerekes is sampled singing the song title in a modulated, haunting chorus that echoes throughout the song. The addition of organs and unconventional drum effects on songs like “You Are A Star” and “Medicine” create shifting emphases on tension and frailty, while the huge choruses of songs like opener “Jet” and “I Forgive No One” are reminders that while Citizen dove headfirst into uncharted territory with their new album, the band is still as good as ever at writing emotionally-charged anthems. As You Please presents Citizen’s vision at the most focused it has ever been - it is delicately crafted to provoke at every moment. Deluxe Box Set LP includes: - Limited Edition red/white mix swirl vinyl exclusive to box set - Limited Edition red mixtape with remixed songs & other curiosities - A-1 24" x 33" Movie Sized As You Please Poster - As You Please Dice, Enamel Pin & Carrying Bag Deluxe Double Cassette includes: - Full As You Please album on gold cassette - Bonus mixtape with remixed songs & other curiosities.

CatsNJazz Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Gonna go with the deluxe but Im gonna wait since its not super limited. I hope the rest of the album is better than that first track, it wasn't bad just not great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I really like the new song. Sounds more like Youth (which I loved) than Heaven (which I was 'meh' about). Kjm23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjplaysdrums Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Picked up the red w/ bone&black splatter. I'd like the deluxe, but don't need all the extras. Hoping this is truly full circle in terms of their style like the description makes it out to be. I love Youth and moderately enjoyed EIGTH so a nice blend of both would be cool. New song is nice too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enyfour5 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 It looks like the site was updated, the deluxe is /500 500 Red/White A/B Mix (Box Set Exclusive) I don't know if I want the deluxe though, too much stuff that I could care less about.

deer Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I'm absolutely stoked for this album. The boxset looks sick as hell, going to pick that up real soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadDonut Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 New song is ok. A little reminiscent of Youth which is a good thing. I've tried 4 or 5 times to give EIGTH a proper chance and I just can't get into it. It's so off putting that I'm probably not even preordering this one. I'll wait and see how much I like the whole album first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like they all have pretty good descriptions of where they can be purchased. Look for the indie retailer exclusive at either your local store or online indie stores like bull moose and amoeba. The release date is almost 3 months away so don't count on picking up some of those variants until then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
