Citizen - 1980

Review by Taylor Darcy

Citizen's 1980 album is a solid collection of tracks that showcase the band's ability to merge punk rock with alternative and indie influences. The album's sound is a departure from their earlier work, but it's clear that the band has grown and evolved. The opening track "Jet" sets the tone for the rest of the album with its driving rhythm and catchy chorus. "In the Middle of It All" is a standout track with its emotive lyrics and soaring guitar riffs. "World" is another highlight, with its anthemic chorus and powerful drumming. 1980 is a well-crafted album that showcases Citizen's growth as a band and their ability to create music that is both raw and emotional. Fans of punk and alternative rock will definitely want to give this one a listen.
