Top 10 Debut Albums (2010-2014) Pt 2
Some bands have debut records that miss the mark. Then there are bands who release debut albums so put together, and well written that we wonder where they've been hiding or entire lives. Here are some of the best debut albums released from 2010 to 2014. The albums aren't listed in any particular order (1 is not the top, 10 is not the bottom). Each entry is accompanied with a mini review and rating. Click this (link) to see Pt 1 of this list. Honorable mentions can be found on our Top 10 page.
Please keep in mind that I'm only one person, and can only listen to so many albums before my brain explodes. If you think there's a debut that I should listen to, please contact me at platypusreviews1486@gmail.com with the band and their album (for this list the album has to have been released between 2010 and 2014).
I have excluded bands that were formed after a member's previous band broke up or bands with members who were has previous success in another group (i.e, Of Mice and Men, Beartooth, Falling in Reverse, the many, many Jonny Craig bands, etc). These are bands who are fresh off the rookie circuit, and are cutting their teeth with this release. EPs are off limits, as they are often not good representations of what a band is truly capable of (though there are always exceptions to the rule).

Citizen - "Everybody is Going to Heaven" Review
*Edited Aug 6 for some mistakes*
Currently performing on Warped Tour 2015, Citizen dropped their second album June 23. With members hailing from the Midwest, and a sound that echoes that of the grunge scene in Seattle, the band is making a splash in the music world with this release. This band's 2013 debut album, "Youth", grabbed my attention last year when I stumbled upon their song "Roam the Room". I was skeptical at first, but after a few listens I really got into it. One of my favorite songs is "The Night I Drove Alone", which is a powerful acoustic influenced piece that highlights Mat Kerekes' vocals. Flash-forward to 2015 and the band has released their sophomore effort. The obvious influences from Brand New, and the band's maturing sound are at their peak in this release.
