Junior Citizen is the fourth album by the American alternative rock band Poster Children, released in 1995.[4][5]

Production

[edit | edit source]

The recording sessions took place at Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin.[2] The album was produced by Brian Anderson and the band.[3]

Critical reception

[edit | edit source]

Trouser Press wrote that "[Rick] Valentin’s vocals have never been more pronounced, the rhythms never more insistent (or rigid), the tunes never punchier or more melodic."[6] The Washington Post wrote that "the band's lack of a distinctive style does undermine the effectiveness of such catchy tracks as 'He's My Star' and 'New Boyfriend'."[7] CMJ New Music Monthly thought that "the raw power of the band's early material has become superseded by technical noodling."[8]
