I don't know what to think of this, it's so different from the agression-fest the band promised lol



But it was interesting on second listen so I'll press onwards

Am I taking crazy pills or did 10,000 views not catch the typo on the first paragraph?

Crazy pills are awesome. I take em right after I have my Faith (Lolly)Pops that I get from the Family Christian Store

First 5 tracks had me thinking this was tied with BSN but then Nesting Dolls came on and I lost it. Think they really nailed their sound on this album

Good album... needs a while to to grow on you.

As far as ranking their albums, who gives a fuck? They are one of the most consistent bands out their album to album. I think most would agree BSN is the best (most variety in style/songwriting, best production) but after that the rest are all pretty much interchangeable. I find Juturna repetitive and copy/paste but apparently everyone else here loves it since it reminds them of high school or some shit.

I love how every two years I can restart my ranting about how inconsistent a band this is. Their albums are always top-heavy with mid-sections that put you to sleep. And now I can say it again.

Only the Sun and Quiet Down put you to sleep but Always Begin and Child of the Desert don't? The only thing I find inconsistent here is everyone's opinion when it comes to Circa albums. I truly do not understand statements like that. I get that everyone is different but to like certain songs so much more than others when it comes to Circa is just odd to me. I have my favorites and least favorites. But none of their songs are so far removed from the rest that I can't appreciate them in some way. Unless you're referring solely to songs like Nesting Dolls and Phantom, which I could sort of understand. I wouldn't agree that they are boring in the slightest... but I'd get it.

Great review,



I love Circa Survive and the album is awesome, but it feels like a very short album even though it has a 50 minute run time.



Sovereign Circle is currently my favourite at the moment

Thanks Rick! I do wish this had at least one more full track, but hey... wanting more isn't a bad problem to have! I actually felt like Sovereign Circle was the weakest track on the album on my first listen but I must have been zoning out because it's amazing. It's one of my favorites already. The only track I still haven't entirely warmed up to yet is Descensus. It's certainly a great song, but I always loved the subject matter and tone of Circa's closing tracks and this one hasn't impacted me in the same way yet.
