Circus Maximus heaviest prog. record yet! - Page 2

Kwirk · 06-05-2012, 06:19 PM

Skimmed through the album and I honestly didn't like what I was hearing. Hopefully it grows on me. I love their first two albums for the record.

brynotherhino · 06-05-2012, 06:57 PM

Wow thanks for sharing! This sounds friggin sweet!

SilenceIsACrime · 06-05-2012, 11:19 PM

I'm so happy you reminded me that this comes out today!! I thought it wasn't till later this month - holy hell, it's fantastic!!

Mats (guitarist) is easily one of my favorite soloists. Really unique and melodic note choice and composition.

it does grow on you. A LOT. the first listen i wasn't crazy, either, but wow do i love it now.

dbrozz · 06-08-2012, 07:16 PM

HUGE improvement!

I like a couple songs from the prior albums, but this is sounding great

Espaul · 06-10-2012, 03:18 AM

I've listened through the record 4-5 times now, and this really has potential!

I hope it will really stick after one or two more listenthroughs

EDIT:

Also footage from their rehearsals before the record

I was just listening to the end of "Last Goodbye." What a prominent Yes influence!

BigBaldIan · 06-22-2012, 02:35 PM

Awesome album, although on Reach Within a few people have commented that it sounds like the bastard lovechild of Take That and Dream Theater. On a serious note, it's now ranking just behind Images and Words as my favourite prog album.

Espaul · 06-22-2012, 05:39 PM

This album really creeps up from behind

On a side note, I'm seeing them live tomorrow!

It's going to be AWESOME!

Espaul · 06-23-2012, 07:53 PM

Just came back from the concert

(only a low res mobile pic, but better than nothing

)

It was a pretty amazing show! They are so incredibly good at what they do.
I just stood there with a silly grin the entire show

Espaul · 06-24-2012, 08:06 AM

So I'm spamming this page with this for the last time now.

I found a video on youtube from last night

This was the first song and I think Mats' guitar was a bit out of tune so he changed about midways in the song and kept playing the blue (or black) Ibanez the rest of the show.
Some mistakes here and there, but it really got better after the first song. Maybe they just needed a warm up

Edit:

The guy has just posted some more songs from yesterday as well

Norstorm · 06-24-2012, 08:12 AM

Ya, I was a photographer on the show, and they were AWESOME!

Phrygian · 06-24-2012, 08:47 AM

Man, I reall wish I was home for that gig!

beneharris · 06-24-2012, 12:50 PM

i've decided that this cd is really great. they've really come into their own on this one.

and burn after reading is probably the best song to be released in years.

Black_Sheep · 07-07-2012, 02:26 AM

The new album is incredible. Might be the album of the year for me, so far im totally loving it.

Just heard this album yesterday and it's fantastic!

One of the better prog albums I have heard in a while! I hope these guys get bigger.
Fantastic 7 string riffs.

poopyalligator · 12-20-2012, 11:34 PM

I have a feeling this is going to be amazing.

Edit: already out, and it slipped by me. Listening to all of it now.

It is man and I am new to Circus Maximus.

I really enjoyed it. That guitar player has some trippy solos at times. I like his organic-like tone.
