run your heart down a cheese grater.......2007-01-20

I love this cd. It sort of sounds like Glassjaw if they were hurdling through space grasping desperately for footing. I love this cd.

Nothing to Sink Your Teeth Into!.......2007-01-19

Juturna, the debut album from Circa Survive is a bold attempt to push the musical envelope with a progressive take on the punk/emo sound. The problem is that while relatively creative and courageous, the album falls flat in most areas. It has virtually nothing for the listener to sink their teeth into. Just as soon the band finds a groove, they turn an about face and go off in a completely different sonic direction. The instrumentation, while bold, is so manic and impatient with itself that it is nearly impossible to feel any of the songs. In addition to that, the insanely high-pitched vocals of Anthony Greene quickly become more annoying than pleasing to the ear, especially when the guy refuses to sing anything resembling a catchy chorus. Being that this is supposed to be an experimental and progressive group, I'm sure all of these characteristics are purposeful, but in the end they make this effort sound confused, unfocused and utterly unmemorable. Check out Saosin's debut album instead.

What first brought me to the attention of this band is the obvious saosin who I found to be catchy and a pretty good listen but what stood out for me most of all was the vocals of Anthony Green. So looking at a lot of reviews on the high pitched, angelic vocalists new band circa survive made me eager to give them a listen. I heard a good three tracks including "the great golden baby" and was looking forward to purchasing the album. I thought the songs were sang beautify and the instruments were played well but something was missing, I just found the album repeating itself and every song sounding not dissimilar to the next. It lacked that little extra kick, I understand the idea genre of it but it just didn't seem to build up to anything. The songs are mono toned and the lyrics aren't anything special. In all honesty it was disappointing but there are a few gems on it having said this. I recommend you buy this album but don't expect to be blown away. Its nice easy listening but hardly tears into your emotions.

Not terrible, just forgettable.......2006-09-19

There's just nothing that stands out on this album--no catchy hooks or melodies, the guitar work is nothing amazing, the vocals have a certain sameness on all the songs--and to be honest, I find Anthony's high-pitched coo-to-screech vocal range rather grating and obnoxious.

The instrumentation isn't punchy or dynamic, it's just kind of...there. The songs aren't emo, alternative, indie, metal, or even rock really--and the lack of genre isn't really to the band's credit. I didn't hear any of your typical emo power chords on the CD, but maybe that would've helped cut through the sludge a bit and give the listener something familiar.

With "Act Appalled" (which recalls Quicksand to some extent) being one of the only exceptions, this CD just doesn't seem to have a pulse. None of it really stays with me, and I definitely can't distinguish one song from the next.

I do have to give Anthony Green kudos for leaving Saosin--without him they've signed a major label deal and if the tracks on their Myspace page are any indicator, we'll be hearing some incredible music from them.

creates some impossible hybrid bridging the gap between classic progressive rock and modern emo metalcore.......2006-09-17

We've been super into that new strain of epic, super complex emo prog lately, bands like Chiodos, Coheed And Cambria. Groups that combine killer metal riffing, super dense and complicated prog arrangements, with super emotive wailing vocals. Like a whole new breed of punk rockers re-discovered Yes and King Crimson and managed to create some impossible hybrid bridging the gap between classic progressive rock and modern emo metalcore.

There are about a million bands doing their own version these days, and admittedly most of them suck, but we'll still stick by Chiodos, and the first two Coheed records, and now we have the latest by Circa Survive, a dreamy, epic, psychedelic, dramatic emo prog outfit, who actually eschew the more metal elements that define most of their sonic brethren, focusing instead on texture and melody and mood. There is definitely a Mars Volta vibe, a lot of that has to do with the vocalist's impossibly high voice, on first listen it's hard to believe it's not actually a woman singing, clear and crystalline, a soaring near falsetto, the vocals drifting above dense harmonies, gorgeous melodies, a thick sonic tapestry of shoegazer guitars, angular riffs, complicated rhythms, all woven into haunting and strangely catchy mini epics.

None of the songs are outright 'pop song' catchy, but they all manage to suck you in and make it virtually impossible to avoid repeat listens. Heavy, but not in a metal way, just deep and emotional, darkly dramatic, with layers of sound that are continually shifting to reveal hidden parts and recombining into unexpected surprises. Probably won't be that much of a surprise, but this is one of my favorite records of the last few years. And actually, this came out last year, but who cares, here it is 2006 and we're still spinning it like crazy...

This is the second Saturnalia Trio CD, and it's enhanced.......2001-12-12

The second Saturnalia Trio CD is a quantum leap from the first effort "Salterello, Psaltery & Song" as it features a larger production pallette and the addition of Bruce Gelman (hand percussion) to the stalwart team of Daniel Crommie (vocals, mandolin, flutes, etc) and Leslie Gray (violin & viola). An online review from "Chaos Realm" stated "The Juturna Codex is a CD filled with lush atmosphere, haunting and darkly captivating, powerful and packed with substance. It is a superb effort and one that I recommend to anyone for their introspective listening in particular, and for anytime in general." Enhanced CD includes a performance video.
