Speaking of the vocals: You can make them out loud and clear, which is cool when the band digs into its righteous political anger and call to action.
Citizens Against People is a no bullshit band. With a good number of acts crowding this phylum, there's often a weak link in the chain: a wandering tempo, lack of tuning, lack of skill that somehow becomes associated with a band.
