They need to knock it out of the park with LP6. There is no reason this band can't take the next step and expand their audience outside of the equal vision faithful
Seriously even though I would say VW is my least favorite release from them Blood From a Stone, and I'll Find a Way are perfect.
I love Descensus a lot. At first it was my third favorite overall, but then fell to fourth behind Juturna. Now I feel pretty confident putting it back at three. Descensus has so many bangers on it. I love the rhythm section the album probably more than any other Circa album (there may be some definite bias here as I'm a drummer haha). I love that they experimented a bit more with their sound, from exploring post rock on Nesting Dolls, electronic stuff on Phantom, and the metal nature to the title track. Not to mention Schema (which has maybe the best drum/bass rhythm they've ever done), Only The Sun (which, as someone else mentioned, seems pretty similar to their earlier days), and Sovereign Circles (that chorus soars) are all great songs too. I feel like they were firing on all cylinders for Descensus, which was a huge comeback for me after the slightly disappointing Violent Waves. Even then, Violent Waves still has some greats on it: Birth Of The Economic Hit Man, The Lottery, Blood From A Stone, I'll Find A Way. This band has always been really consistent to me, but also do a pretty good job at switch it up at least a little bit from album to album.
Best Songs by Album Juturna - stop the fucking car OLG - Greatest Lie BSN - Frozen Creek VW - Blood From a Stone Descensus - only the sun Worst Songs by album Juturna - Always Getting why you want OLG - Close your eyes to see BSN - I felt free VW - Phantasmagoria Descensus - always begin I'm sure no one agrees. But after listening to the discog at work today just couldn't help myself.
Juturna- The Glorious Nosebleed OLG- In the Morning and Amazing BSN- Glass Arrows VW- I'll Find A Way Descensus- Descensus Appendages- Backmask
Close Your Eyes is a top track. Love the verses and chorus of it so much edit: oh godddd Glorious Nosebleed is a top 3 Circa track imo. edit2: oh I thought you meant worst
juturna - the great golden baby on letting go - your friends are gone blue sky noise - through the desert alone appendage - lazarus violent waves - the lottery descensus - always begin edit: these are best
I also listened to Descensus after the conversation in here and man, it's a great album. There's not really a weak spot on it imo. The first half of the album in particular never ceases to fire me up.
descensus and pixie queen really speak to me on a personal level since I went through almost exactly what Anthony did
Best In Fear and Faith Living Together Glass Arrows Birth of the Economic Hit Man Only the Sun Worst Meet Me in Montauk Close Your Eyes To See I Felt Free Brother Song Child of the Desert
Juturna - The Great Golden Baby OLG - Semi Constructive Criticism or Living Together (can't choose) BSN - Glass Arrows VW - Birth of the Economic Hit Man Descensus - Always Begin
Oh man. Juturna - Stop the Fuckin Car On Letting Go - In the Morning and Amazing Blue Sky Noise - Through the Desert Alone Violent Waves - I'll Find A Way Descensus - Only the Sun Their best song might be Lazarus though
anyone get down on Wish Resign as one of the best songs ever like I do? love that flow and post rock feeling to it
It's perfect. I've thought about going in and getting "2 am" and "6 am" added to either side of my Safe camp tattoo.
Juturna - we're all thieves On letting go - living together Blue sky noise - glass arrows Violent waves - bird sounds Descensus - ugh I'm really struggling with this one
I've thought about getting some lines from the only difference when I get my OLG tattoo but I'll probably just not get any lyrics with it
haha there must be something wrong with me; Lazarus is just a mid-range Circa tune to me. The bridge and ending are really cool, but that first half verse/chorus is super bland IMO.
Woo rankings are fun. Favourite: Juturna - Stop the Fucking Car On Letting Go - Your Friends Are Gone / The Difference Between Medicine and Poison... Blue Sky Noise - Fever Dreams Violent Waves - I'll get back to you on this one Descensus - Only the Sun Least favourite: Juturna - Always Getting What You Want On Letting Go - Carry Us Away Blue Sky Noise - I Felt Free / Imaginary Enemy Violent Waves - I'm really not even familiar enough with this album to provide answers Descensus - Descensus
