    this cd is terrible if you have listened to any of the other thursday albums you would know that, they try so hard to sound like Full Collapse that it comes out as this mess of emo steriotypes, they just tried too hard. its bad

    Change the face of music?!?!? Don't ever mention O.K. Computer, Kid A or Dark Side of the Moon in the same sentence with Thursday. This is a mediocre record at best.

    So wait a minute.... Dave Fridmann of Flaming Lips fame produced this, yet still wasn't able to pull Thursday out of that bland hardcore-screamo sound? They've fallen a long way since the surprisingly good Full Collapse.

    City is a rare thing: a disc that reconciles a band's need for discovery with the familiar characteristics that define them. [Jun 2006, p.171]
