CIRCUS

5 Stars. Not burdened with any particular affection for the prior Argent line up prior to recording this-I've enjoyed this from the first time I heard this 30 or so years ago to now. I still delight in the outstanding harmony singing the quality of which is not really challenged anywhere else in the Prog world as far as i'm concerned. Fab drumming, rocking piano works and a must for any serious progger. The individual instrument sound is upfront and near and gets better the louder it's played. I still listen to this album often and enjoy it every time. Very few bands will get near this heart felt, passionate, rocking quality. 5 stars for this album-always has been, always will be!!! ! I hope they are proud of this work. Had the joy of giving a copy to Mr. Francis Dunnery in 2008 who'd not heard of it prior. It's always great to hear great new music...even if it is 30 years or so old. Get it and don't worry about the whinging from the other reviewers. I don't hear anyone missing on this and had someone stayed, when in fact they left, probably would have ruined this fabulous, original work!
