Jul 30, 2023It seems to me that a lot of people don't like the record because some people compared it to loveless. I'm not even going to compare it to loveless because I think this album is so good it can stand as a brilliant album all by itself. Every song on this album is brilliant, it's true shoegaze pop joy.

npoppJul 14, 2006The first 4 (real) songs on this album are enough by themselves to put this on the best of list. Saw them play last night. Great live, and what a hotty their singer is.

JohnYJun 11, 2006The first masterpiece of 2006 - a stunning beautiful record. "Citrus" sends you off into a soothing stratosphere where problems dissolve like lemon drops. It's that sweet.

JeromeHJun 5, 2006I've listened to over 500 albums released this year already (yes, I have no life), and this album is in the top 3 alongside The Appleseed Cast's Peregrine and The Most Serene Republic's Phages. All magical albums. Long live good music.

CablesJun 4, 2006Who cares whether or not its shoegaze. It's really really good. Just because you don't fit it into the same genre as some critics doesn't mean you should let that affect your score.

patrickgJun 3, 2006you can't hate something this fun and beautiful unless you hate all things pop. not really new ground but it's put together in a way even better musicians can't. a pleasing party record.

Citrus is as good a shoegaze record you will ever hear, regardless of release date.
-
Nearly everything about Citrus is so accomplished, refined, and downright transcendent that it could very well stand alongside Loveless as a modernized shoegaze staple.
-
Where Asobi Seksu's first album seemed rushed, a little too experimental, and at times too loud, Citrus brings the right amount of noise, swirling affects, and sound balance.
