    Any new album info?

    Finally! It sounds like it might be a little more progressive than Fall From Grace.....AWESOME!!! Bad news is the time frame for the release (shown at the end of teaser). :(

    Any new album info?

    Wow....if ever there was an indication of how many posts on a forum NOT correlating to a band's excellence, this is it! Who else is extremely excited about new material?

    So, now that NINE is out, what are people's opinions?

    I would give it a NINE out of ten. See what I did there?:D

    Utter Disaster - Denver Concert - Annette to hospital

    Um....no. Pardon me for not being up to snuff on my Ralf Scheepers trivia. I guess that reinforces my original point then, right?

    Utter Disaster - Denver Concert - Annette to hospital

    My sense is that he would say it was worth it. He pursued a dream situation and came up short. At least he took a shot. He will land on his feet again if he is talented and perserveres. Also, my guess is if you asked him how he would feel about one of his former bandmates getting the...

    Utter Disaster - Denver Concert - Annette to hospital

    a) Rookies beat out people in other arenas of competition/sports/work ALL the time. Many bands/teams/employers prefer younger people who may have a fresh approach, bring an energy to the situation, or who might have something else intangible to offer. b) If I was a fan I would rather have...

    Utter Disaster - Denver Concert - Annette to hospital

    I was at the show and it was hardly a disaster. The girls did their best and sounded great. Mistakes were going to happen.....it's belaboring the obvious (and a cheap shot) to even mention it in a negative way. My only disappointment was not having a longer set even in spite of the...

    THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE SONG-BY-SONG REVIEW OF NINE ON THE UNIVERSE! :)

    Thanks for that clarification. I would really like to see the entire review. So long as they are not overly gratuitous or grossly esoteric, I for one am rather fond of technical words and sophistication! Circus Maximus is a progressive band.....I'm sure the fine folks on this forum can wade...

    THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE SONG-BY-SONG REVIEW OF NINE ON THE UNIVERSE! :)

    This is very well written (save for a few typos here and there), but I'm a bit confused about who is writing what??? Obviously this is not the same song by song review from the original link. Is this last review YOUR words? And is the original link from someone else? If so, I misunderstood and I...

    THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE SONG-BY-SONG REVIEW OF NINE ON THE UNIVERSE! :)

    I think it's interesting you posted this link to a review in another language when this forum is in English. Instead of asking everyone to request the English version, why don't you provide it as a courtesy to all who surely would be interested?

    Circus Maximus - Nine: My Review

    Fair enough. And I wasn't addressing your general opinion of the album.....I get that you meant it was good overall. I was questioning your caveats and I think we can just agree to disagree on some of those things. I think whatever departure in sound won't alienate any more fans than the...

    Circus Maximus - Nine: My Review

    Not sure which album you are listening to...but I think: - There are plenty of catchy melodies and choruses. I am already "replaying" parts of several songs in my head when I am not listening. Maybe you just need to hear it a few more times. :Spin: - The ringing guitar sound is called...

    Has anyone read Aniara?

    I wonder if the character name Inara from Firefly/Serenity was taken from that poem? Different spelling (and pronunciation?), but there is a science fiction connection.

    R.I.P. MARK REALE

    Very sad indeed......but what wonderful sonic memories those who didn't know him personally will always have. I always take that as solace and think of how an artist lives on in their work.

    Fall from Grace - My thoughts

    I agree. My biggest "problem" is listening to it and then trying to listen to just about anything else. It's one of the few albums I've ever heard once and been completely overwhelmed.

    THE OFFICIAL STUDIO REPORT

    It's got nothing to do with faith. It's about words used to portray a characterization of an entirely new sound. Maybe if you re-read the words I wrote you might be able to understand the difference. I think you can have faith in a band to do something talented and worth recording.....and...

    THE OFFICIAL STUDIO REPORT

    I think it's okay to have a nice mix of influences.....even from bands that you wouldn't normally equate or even dislike. Sometimes a fresh source of inspiration can do a band good. So that in and of itself does not concern me. I think it would only bother me if it ended up being a blatant...

    THE OFFICIAL STUDIO REPORT

    In lieu of its arrival....to perhaps liven up the discussion about the new album....I will share a concern of mine about the direction of CM based on an interview with Michael I read (can't even remember where I found it). Essentially he was saying it was going to be "an entirely new sound", and...

    Circus Maximus being played in a movie....

    ....called Tomme Tønner, filmed in Oslo. Two characters in the movie are having a discussion while driving, and they are playing Arrival of Love. I thought it was pretty cool....didn't know whether anyone here had seen it or not.

    A thought for your country...

    Well said, Jennifer. And I concur.
