This album shows Gentle Giant's "rocking" side with short, simpler tunes. Some fans hate this album. Others like it, claiming that even though it is more pop-influenced than previous Gentle Giant works, it is still a good album. An essay is available from the Truck CD liner notes, and an article from Musician Magazine discusses the politics behind the album. Civilian was Gentle Giant's final album, not counting the compilations and live albums released after their breakup. The bonus track Heroes No More appears on both the One Way and Terrapin CDs. The Terrapin track is taken from an old cassette recording, but the One Way track comes from the original master tape.
