Oct 11, 2017Upon first listen, the album may not seem like the next step in the band’s career but upon further inspection, the album feels like the next necessary move. Mat Kerekes vocals really shine through on this record as they always do. This is definitely something to listen to if you enjoy Run For Cover Records bands or Citizen.

Kerrang!Oct 11, 2017[The] band's most atmospheric music to date. [14 Oct 2017, p.52]

Oct 6, 2017There are minor lulls here, but enough highs to majorly please.
-
Oct 6, 2017Citizen haven’t mellowed per se, the emotion on ‘As You Please’ is as grand and raw as ever, but they have refined their delivery, and their latest album manages not to shortchange that underlying sentiment while expanding their sonic palette.
-
Oct 5, 2017It all combines to make Citizen’s gloomiest, most atmospheric record yet--and also one of the most disturbing of the year so far. It’s a memorable journey.
-
Oct 5, 2017The band’s strongest set of songs to date. Between the increased production, the reaching-slightly-too-far aspiration, and sharper focus, AYP comes closest to fulfilling the promise shown since Citizen’s inception.
-
Oct 5, 2017As You Please can sometimes come across as overly dour, but Citizen are masters of uneasiness and wield that power like a sword.
-
Oct 19, 2017With 12 songs of nearly equal tone, volume, and length, the nearly hour-long As You Please becomes its own endurance test. When As You Please is taken in smaller chunks, the minor variations between the songs where Citizen churn and the ones where they steamroll ever forward become more discernible.
-
Oct 5, 2017The thing with As You Please is that while it feels uneventful, it also seems like Citizen might be just on the edge of a breakthrough.
