You can also pre-order it through Sh-k-Boom, and they're shipping them now. I have it. It's beautiful... I'm so so so proud of Adam.

shameless plug done.

is it good? i am so excited to hear it. what type of music is he doing? broadway songs? covers? any original stuff???

He wrote it all himself... it's pretty similar to Model Prisoner, but I think I like it a little bit better. He's really grown as a musician and has totally found his style, I think. You can hear the influence from all of the stuff that he loves; Billy Joel, Elton John, The Beatles, etc... it's amazing. I'm so proud of him!

I'll really shut up now. But please, check it out!

A LITTLE bit better? It's like ten times better! It hasn't been out of my CD player since I got it...that's almost a week now.

To those of you that have Civilian:

I know this is going to sound weird, but here it goes anyway...Does "Beautiful Song" sound as tinny (I don't think that's the right word, and I don't know the right word would be) as it does on the website? Maybe this was the sound he was going for, but to me, it sounds like it's a poorly dubbed and has generation loss on the site. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but do you know what I mean? It has an almost hollow quality to it. I guess I'll just have to wait until I get the CD, but I figured I'd ask those of you who have it already, because it was something that struck me when I first listened to it, and I put it on again the other day and it still seemed a little odd to me.

NTG, I say "a little" because I stil adore Model Prisoner! Civilian = Love, hence my signature.

mabel - the song sounds much better on the cd. I described what I heard on the website as "fuzzy," but I know what you're talking about. I actually think that may have been done so that the quality was poor on purpose, perhaps to avoid having people try to download the song from the site? Just a thought...


Shamelessly plugging.... and yes. It's constantly playing on my iPod. I've had it on repeat since Sunday night.

it took a while for it to grow on me but i think i'm beginning to like it better than model prisoner - maybe it's just because i saw him do it live so it makes me smile!!! lol

Emcee, are you secretly employed by sh-k-boom?

Hmm. The amazon sales rank is 33,642. Not good.

Posted: 10/16/04 at 5:23pm

No, but I should be. *points to signature* Not crazy. Just in love with this gift from musical heaven!!

[insomniak]

Posted: 10/16/04 at 5:25pm

Indeed.

What kind of record sales did Model Prisoner have? I wouldn't expect big numbers, but on the grand scale of things, how good?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 10/16/04 at 5:42pm

I actually have no idea. *shrug*
Wow... maybe I should dig out Model Prisoner... lol

acording to adam model prisoner sold a little over 10,000 copies hes hoping that civilian will double that.

[luvtheEmcee]

Hopefully it does.

Got it last week at Adam and Daphne's show, spent the extra $$ to buy it signed, even though he signed my other for free. It was worth the money signed or not signed. Adam is a god!!

I looooooooove your avatar, AidaNYRent!

Posted: 10/16/04 at 7:29pm

I JUST got it a few hours ago in the mail (WOO!) and I can NOT stop listening to it. I'm surprised I didn't go insane this week while waiting for it to ship. I seriously sat by my door every day after school, and nearly harassed the mail lady a few times, just waiting for Civilian to come. But oh my gosh, it was totally worth the wait! I am in complete love with the CD. I like it even more than Model Prisoner, and I'm so happy for Adam. If you haven't ordered this CD yet, GO ORDER IT! NOW!

10,000 is not many at all, I would've guessed a bit higher. But good luck to him. How does he plan to sell twice as many this time around?

I think (hope) his fan base has grown since Model Prisoner.
I'll add to the Civilian plugging! It's awesome, and it only gets better as you listen to it. Book of Endings is such a cool song.

Posted: 10/16/04 at 8:57pm

I love Book Of Endings! I'm actually listening to it right now - heh. It's one of my favorite songs on the CD. I don't know any other way to describe it other than how #1Elphie did. It's cool!

Model Prisoner is over four years old. The fan base has DEFINITELY grown... I can personally attest! Hopefully that will help, and if he decides to do Wicked, being in a show that huge has got to help sell CD's.

Come on. All of you looking at this, you KNOW you want to check this out.

Yes, but the growing fan base would, in theory, go purchase the CD no matter if it was four years old or not.

How do famous people with big-selling CDs get famous anyway? Is there a way to do it without getting your own reality show and being related to another popstar?

Well his CDs will go quickly if he joins WICKED..
