Hard to feel to upset about it until they officially give word that they're breaking up. We just got a new album from them (basically) so I was expecting to wait another couple of years for new stuff anyway. Hopefully they work out whatever is going on by then. I'm hoping that they'll at least release the latest EP's as a full album with bonus tracks from their unreleased work. A lot of those tracks deserve to be out there for everyone to hear.

I mean hopefully I'm wrong but I don't think I'm too far off. The patreon post (by Colin) heavily implied they weren't planning for the band to go inactive and that it was with zero notice. Brendan and Colin unfollowed him. Also in his insta post about his new band Anthony before he edited said something to the tune of "it's exhilarating getting to make music with people I haven't made hate me yet". And this is all after they cancelled the BSN tour primarily for Anthony's health..then when he gets out of rehab he releases a solo album and solo tour as well as starting his new L.S Dune band.



Granted, this is all pointless speculation. They've been through rough waters before and hopefully they sail through it again.

5.0 classic

Alcest Spiritual Instinct

Alice in Chains MTV Unplugged

American Football American Football (LP3)

Heir Apparent and Doom in Full Gloom represent this band at it's finest, and the album as a whole

is beautiful and fulfilling. My personal AOTY so far.

Aphex Twin Selected Ambient Works 85-92

Arcane Roots Melancholia Hymns

Still need to give it more spins, but overall, I think it's an incredibly solid record with plenty of interesting ideas and a great sense of musicianship.

Beastie Boys Paul's Boutique

Between the Buried and Me Colors II

Black Sabbath Black Sabbath

Blink-182 blink-182

Brand New Daisy

Car Bomb Meta

Caspian Dust and Disquiet

Charli XCX Charli

Circa Survive The Amulet

This is pretty much what I call a "logical evolution," and it's probably Circa's greatest effort.

I enjoyed the leak, and I enjoyed it even more in high quality. Premonition of the Hex is also

GOAT.

Circa Survive A Dream About Death

Probably their most adventurous effort to date. It's a mysterious, alluring, groovy and beautiful EP that perfectly complements the first one. Some of their best music is here.

Cocteau Twins Heaven or Las Vegas

Converge Jane Doe

Cult of Luna A Dawn to Fear

Faith No More Angel Dust

Fugazi Repeater

Gojira From Mars to Sirius

Gorillaz Demon Days

What baffles me about this is the fact that it both works as a companion piece to the movie, and as a standalone beautiful soundtrack.

On one hand, I am super happy for Anthony. He really seems to be going through a creative renaissance at the moment with the sheer amount of quality projects that he's been involved with. He arguably put out his best solo album ever, LS Dunes is shaping up to be an incredibly fun post-hardcore-ish diversion, and TSOAF are always a good time and have no reason to suspect the new album won't be any different.



On the other, can't help but feel for the band. Both Dream EP's weren't my favorite projects of theirs, but they seemed to signal a willingness to experiment that had been a little absent from Circa for a while -though their albums always rule. Especially so seeing as how the band has stuck with him through everything in his personal life and he seems to be giving them the cold shoulder right now. It's a touchy subject because he's not the only with drug issues in the band and every needs to do what's best for themselves.



Cautiously optimistic that them putting this statement out begins to mend the relationships so they can get back together one day, but if this is the end it was one helluva run

It's not that surprising, but it still hurts ya know? Loved this band for like 16 years now... so it'll be weird without them around. Hopefully it's actually a hiatus and not an actual disbanding. Sucks either way.

Who invited the jackass to this thread, lol.

Bummed but not surprised by this news. I have hope that they'll come together again relatively soon though. We just got new material so I don't think I'll really be feeling this hiatus for a couple of years. They better put some of their unreleased songs on Two Dreams as bonus tracks because it would be a crime to keep those locked away forever.
