PROG REVIEWER
3 stars CIRKUS are a band out of Quebec who actually released "Wild Dogs" in 2017 as a bootleg then decided to re-record it with some new songs releasing this one in 2018. I honestly thought I had the 2017 release(haha) but no. So on this release they are a four piece with a vocalist, 2 guitarists and a multi-instrumentalist playing keyboards, drums and bass if you can believe it. No I can't see how this would work live unless you bring in a couple of more musicians. The sound quality is okay but not the best. This is a double disc worth well over 2 hours. And the reason I'm hard on doubles is because I am into consistent albums and it seems to be a rare thing for a band not to throw in some crap or filler I guess is the better word. This is also all over the place with Classical, Jazz, Comedy and World textures as Discogs puts it in the bio. I'm not big on variety. GENESIS is clearly the inspiration here with the pulsating organ style, vocals and more. I started to write some notes while spinning this one more time but I can't do it. A low 3 stars.

4 stars I discovered CIRKUS through Wild Dogs (official bootleg) last year and I kept on listening since. I was thrilled to see that they took the time to release a new edition of this beautiful material for the anniversary of the first release! Some slight change in the pacing, but most of all, the r ... (read more)

5 stars I've already rated the bootleg version of this album. But really, the definitive version is a great improvement for the sound. It's not only a remastered and a remixed.... all the guitars, the bass and the vocals have been rerecorded. Some songs as Dead End have been completely remade with a ... (read more)
