Thirteen Day Getaway is the second and final studio album by the punk rock band CIV.[8][9] It was released on April 7, 1998, on Atlantic Records. The album is dedicated to Raybeez.

Critical reception

The Plain Dealer wrote that "Civ's clean, moderately paced, somewhat melodic pop punk, topped by Anthony Civorelli's monotonous, nasal vocals, makes the group sound like hundreds of other post-Green Day pop punk bands."[10] The San Diego Union-Tribune called the album "top-loaded with songs that suggest CIV knows how to spike pop hooks with a punk charge, to use melody rather than refuse it."[11]
