Circa Survive - The Amulet (September 22, 2017) Album • Page 130

Yeah seriously.. I was gonna drive to Austin, but when I saw the setlist I was disappointed they weren't playing the whole thing or at least most of it. Setlist was tight, but I mainly wanted to hear The Amulet

 

I Felt Free is a song that I never need to hear again

Difference Between has been played every single show since 2007. When almost every single other OLG song is better. Still love it though.

 

i felt free is a top tier circa song

 

lol, the lyrics arent even wrote by Anthony....

 

Why does that matter in the slightest?

 

Just an odd song to point to as top-tier, or quintessential, Circa song imo. It's by far one of their most straight forward songs. And I'd say that Anthony's lyrics are a part of what makes circa "circa"........which anthony didnt write that song.

To be clear though, I dont dislike "I Felt Free".

 

Eh, I don't think it's close to the best they've done either, but weird to assert that because they took a different approach to writing that it shouldn't qualify as someone's favourite.

 

iirc he likes 1 single Circa album and actively dislikes the rest

 

Don’t actively dislike it, the only album I really enjoy is BSN and the rest feels a little too focused on the atmosphere/progginess for my taste. Prefer those straight forward rock bangers

 

“very good at being wrong”

 

:)

 

I felt free is bottom tier eZ

 

it's a good rock song

 

From a band that makes great to exceptional psychodelic punk

 

i'd love to see where circa has done anything remotely "punk", hahahaa

 

lol I know but that's just hiw they describe themselves

 

post hardcore ish whatever

post hardcore has been cross referenced with punk for a minute

 

Is I Felt Free a fine song? Maybe. Idk why bands want to write songs that sound like that. The bridge and verses especially. Its inoffensive but boring as hell.

 

Sounds to me like maybe a decently cool idea from the Juturna/OLG era was forcibly sculpted into a "single!" for their Atlantic debut. It isn't hard at all to imagine the core musical idea, esp chorus, fitting into a vintage spacey Circa tune.

Imaginary Enemy is the one that's really devoid of anything musically interesting, IMO.

 

It's got a rakwing solo for all the rawkers in all of us. But seriously the verses are kinda cool but overall, a snoozer

 

Wait, who wrote the lyrics then?

 

Who wrote it?

 

I felt free and imaginary enemy are both great songs what is happening

 

I think Colin the guitarist wrote the lyrics iirc. Theyre good lyrics.

 

Colin's a good writer
