| 3.5 great | BLUEOmni | August 23rd 11 |
Circle Takes the Square has adopted a more post-hardcore ego, but unlike the usual shit that comes out of the post-hardcore scene, CTTS has actually acquired a very poetic, and almost magnetic sound that pulls the listener into its emotional awhirl of intonation.

And thus commences a fabulous display of "the Trophy Scars effect"

Can't give it a proper rating yet, but it's definitely more cohesive than ATRU and goes into a more "prog metal" vein rather than their old post-hardcore sound. It also doesn't rely as much on, "xDDD randum instrumentashun look at this oddd time signature11!". Miles ahead from the borefest of ATRU. Lyrics are as verbose and pretentious as ever.

anal warrior drew speziale brings four tracks of pure starfruit poundage to your ears and you couldn't be happier. you realize that your whole life your anus has been twitching in anticipation for this. you see mountains in the distance and your pleasure is heightened, you imagine that drew speziale's penis is a mountain, you feel the mountain's craggy peaks caress your colon lovingly. years later kathy will release the footage labelled as ANAL HUSBAND.

I hear this has music as well as like three or four hyperboles and eleven or twelve "CTTTs suck because I'm trendy and edgy and MJ lead a revolution and it's punk rock and I'm punk rock and I win yay woohoos." Not that I've listened to it more than once, though.

I'd give it a 4.5 but because of the large amount of trolls I'm giving it a 5. I think ATRU deserves it's five, although I actually like the general sound of this EP more, it's very incomplete... Therefore if there were less trolls it'd be getting a 4.5.

well at least it doesn't sound like it was recorded in the mother of Drew Spez's gay lover's basement.

They have actually improved. And ATRU was really excellent but there were moments of weakness and moments where I just kind of got irritated by ridiculousness. Still they are one of the smartest bands in the genre and on this theyve improved in terms of songwriting. More diverse, more coherent and less focused on Drew exploding, this definitely shows us that Decompositions may as a whole be better than ATRU.

Where before there was a forced manic pace now comes a more mellow and yet still a powerhouse of passionate music. Songs shouldn't be looked at individually as much as a whole experience of the EP. CTTS exploring a new territory, whilst not straying away too far from home, has delivered a quite enjoyable experience.
shit's heavy brah

excellent. this is excellent. and it is the first time these sputnik rating words fit more than perfectly. the greatest improvement of a band in the last ten years, facing the fact that I probably hated ATRU more than any other record on the planet.

Every song is smoothing perfectly into the next and the lyrics are really amazing... Nevertheless you need to listen to it more often to appreciate this record as an instant classic.
