3 stars 23rd January, 2023: Circa Survive - Blue Sky Noise (alternative rock, 2010)

I could honestly just word-for-word repeat what I wrote about On Letting Go last year - to the point where I could have sworn it was this one I reviewed. I listened to this a bit when I was very young in an attempt to fit in, and I never really got it. Nearly a decade later, I actually have become a moderate fan of their later work, in particular Descensus, and this actually is opening itself up a bit. Perhaps it's that pesky "prog" tag - there is very little prog here, and thinking as such might mislead you. There are occasional bits of that infectious passion, and some strong performances instrumentally, but for too long they're dodging good melodies in an attempt to sound whimsical. It's not even about Green's vocals, I actually don't mind his style at all. I think this has grown on me a bit, but on the whole it is a touch unremarkable.

5.9 (4th listen)
