    A Disappointment. Not as significantly unique or enjoyable as War All The Time. While a few of the songs may be catchy, the lyrics on this album are but a shadow of lyrics on Geoff's previous albums. It's like they ran out of metaphors and stories to sing about, and all that has been done is a regurgitation of earlier words and ideas.

    The dude who compared this to ok computer, dsotm, or any other sort of "music changing" album needs to think before he posts anything else and further embarrasses himself.

    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]
