Circa Survive Band • Page 148

Lazarus is one of my favorite CS songs

 

Appendage rules in the way that Intuit Sessions rules. And so do 1,000 Witnesses/Most Dangerous Commercials. So many great b-sides from this band.

 

what the hell

 

Awake in a Dream is one of their best B-sides

 

Juturna
On Letting Go
Violent Waves

Blue Sky Noise / Two Dreams

Descensus / The Amulet

I don't think they have a "bad" record, though. Just some that are better than others.

 

OK now I have no choice but to do B-side rankings, at least for the ones I have.

Handshakes at Sunrise
Most Dangerous Commercials
1000 Witnesses
Indra's Net

Suspending Disbelief
Backmask
Stare Like You'll Stay
Everyway
Lazarus
Awake in a Dream
Dark Pools

Battle, My Love
Metanoia
Nobody Can Change
Bad Heart

 

Bad Heart was somehow a letdown initially, but it's also such a nice song after all! and Lipton Witch on the other side of that split; one of the best tracks coming from SDRE's already amazing discography - what pretty much got pushed thanks to Brendan, as far as I remember (SDRE otherwise had that song shelved)

 

Music Ranking

Juturna

OLG
2 Dreams
Amulet

Violent Waves
Descensus

Appendage
BSN

I don't think they can ever top Juturna - its just a perfect debut.

 

It's always wild to see such a wide range of experiences and rankings when it comes to a band's discography. Just goes to show how special this band really was.

Juturna

On Letting Go
The Amulet

Blue Sky Noise
Two Dreams
Descensus
Violent Waves

 

Handshakes at Sunrise 4evr

 

Most Dangerous Commercials is an elite tier b-side in the history of all b-sides

 

If I really gotta rank them it goes like this:

OLG
Juturna

Descensus
VW
The Amulet

BSN

Two Dreams

 

OLG
Juturna
BSN
The Amulet
Two Dreams
VW


Descensus

 

BSN on top for me easy
Juturna
Violent Waves
OLG
Two Dreams
Descensus
The Amulet

 

Just for completion's sake, I think you are missing....

I Can't Make It
Julian
Buddha
Learned Some Shit
Portishead Jam
Califone
Pearly Jam Jam
Resentment

if you count Demos:
Airplane Dance
100 Steps
Bye Bye
New Sun
Nice To Meet You
Memetic Shield
Time & Place
We Forgot
The Dentist (not sure what this is)

if you count covers:
Love Buzz (Nirvana)
Scentless Apprentice (Nirvana)
Drain You (Nirvana)

and then, of course, all the Patreon stuff

 

Yeah I was trying to stick with full studio quality stuff... except Handshakes, which is too god tier to leave off (and it's great quality for a demo tbf).

There are some gems on this list though if you ignore recording qualtiy, esp a few of the OLG era demos.

 

Suspending disbelief is the best circa song period.

 

This thread is gonna go from album ranking to song ranking and it will not be pretty

 

Don't need to rank songs. Everyone knows this is #1

 

Gonna tell my kids this was The Mars Volta
