5.0 out of 5 stars Citizen: Army of Me, June 5, 2007

I first saw this band perform in Toronto when they opend for Blue October and I was so impressed with their music I bought the earlier "Rise" CD at the concert.

This CD is a continuation of the songs on "Rise" and a perfection of them. "Perfect" leads off the album and so far is my favorite song, but truthfully there is not a bad song on the CD. Eminently listen-able!

BUY IT!!

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful, thoughtful rock, May 10, 2007

Vince Scheuerman's thoughtful, insightful lyrics, bold, honest voice (reminiscent of John Lennon's), and engaging melodies shine front and center in the varied tracks of "Citizen." Combined with Brad Tursi's brilliance and eclecticism on lead guitar, Dennis Manuel's snappy, energetic drumming that gives full play to the lyrical possibilities of cymbals, celestial vocal harmonies, and the lush warm bass carpet under all (currently provided by Conrado Bokoles who is not on this album), the net result is a magical uplifting beauty.

One might hear a variety of possible influences, but at the end of the day what comes through is a strong original confident collective voice that might get through to you more than you thought it would at first, as happened to me. Did not expect to become emotionally attached to Citizen but I have! Highly recommended.

Its a shame this album didn't catch fire because its a great piece of work - passionate, sincere, melodic, and a great listen from front to back. I remember these guys from when they were Cactus Patch and this album was really a leap forward in the depth and quality of their work. I wish the band had been able to release a follow up because "Citizen" rarely goes out of my listening rotation.
