listened to it once and liked it. it lacked fast paced songs and some screaming, but I was already prepared for that.

Don't you dare compare this to Juturna

love it

I wholeheartedly agree...

I don't dislike this album, but I can't help but be disappointed that the energy saturating Juturna and making cameos in In the Morning and Amazing/Glass Arrows is all but completely absent on this album....

^ Obviously didn't read the interview.

Can't say I'm surprised. Your rant is so misinformed and offbase.

The record is amateur and embarrassing compared to their last two records.

im really suprised with all the negative reviews people have been giving this album. im a bit biased being a huge circa fan but i thought the album was amazing. it is a little bit slower but has alot of balance between all their albums.

the album is not that good :/ ...they need to go back to their roots

That is a totally legit business thing to do, if you know that the album isn't going to sell as well as you originally though based on market data (including failed sales goals of previous albums) you'd be a fool to advance more money than you are going to make back. If labels did that they'd be out of business in a heart beat.

"To be honest. In the past when we’ve been on Atlantic and we’ve been on other labels, I’ve been like download the record, I don’t give a shit. It’s not like directly affecting me. When we were in that situation, you get an advance and they take everything from you."

Direct quote from the interview. Even admits it wasn't just when they were on atlantic.

I am a fan, but I also believe in people being honest and getting what they deserve when you're not. You can't take money from someone and then tell people not to buy the album so those people don't get their money back.

How could someone hate on a band making exactly what they wanted to create, not hindered by a producer,label,etc? I just dont understand. They make art, this is exactly what they wanted to make. If you dont like it or get it, that's fine but to say it's not good just isn't true.
They've always kinda been psychedelic/trippy progressive rock...that's exactly what this album is. I dont understand how someone could like the rest of the band discography and not this. This is what they've always wanted to make..

Looks like I'll love this album during Winter. It's definitely a night/cold weather album to me. It's good but in the right atmosphere it's great.

Cannot believe the hate this is getting. Far and away the best circa album, there's no way around it
