Circa Survive - The Amulet (September 22, 2017) Album • Page 41

First listen, and this is really good. I'm digesting the songs, but my first impression is: this album, for me, is the spiritual successor of "juturna" and "on letting go"...This is really close what i wanted trough the years...

 

In a previous Anthony's interview, he said this album is about Life, Death and Rebirth....

In "Lustration" there is something about birth...

In the end of "The Amulet", after the "suposed suicide", Anthony uses the french term "revenant", a term used for people wich was dead and return to life - a rebirth?!

 

Wow really cool, I won't try to judge the album until I have the lyrics in front of me then

 

Pressing play. Lustration still floors me.

 

Very fair .... I'm really curious about the album's subject and the real
meaning too


Anthony's falsetto sounds really good with the vibe of the all songs that it is used...


The doubles "Tunnel Vision" and "At Night It gets Worse", and "Flesh and Bone" and "The Amulet" are amazing...

 

Never Tell A Soul just fucked me up

 

At Night It Gets Worse into Stay into Rites Of Investiture is awesome.

 

actually Stay comes after that track. On mine at least

 

why tf wouldnt this track be the single? Holy hell

 

This shows to us that there is really good songs in the album....

Now, i'm in love with "Tunnel Vision"...

 

Really? I just checked the official track listing and Stay is before Rites and after At Night.

 

That's what it is on mine

 

I don't think anything could have prepared me for Flesh And Bone and The Amulet. Both of those songs are just on another level. The Amulet actually brought tears to my eyes. Wow. I'm kind of stunned.

 

Yeah, this thing starts and ends super strongly

 

Oh man, didn't you listen, previously, "the amulet"?

Yes, this song is amazing, insane, perfect... Previously, i said that this song is for me, musically, "house of leaves 2.0"...

 

Right my b i was confused. I didnt actually see you say Stay in your original comment

 

I did not. I didn't want to hear the closer out of context from the rest of the album. I'm very happy with my decision because, man, it really knocked me out after Flesh And Bone.

 

Some songs grew on. The more I listen the more I pick up on some very interesting parts. Still wishing it were heavier. I actually get similar vibes to the Appendage EP the more I listen. Cant complain about it. I love that EP.

I would also like to point out that the production on Amulet is great.

 

I haven't followed this release cycle at all, so I'm excited to dive into this record.

 

Yes man, i respect you. I wanted the same for me, but i was very anxious...

Flesh And Bone is really great... is very similar with live acoustic performances... but the studio's version is in another level, as you said.

 

You ever listen to riffs and get mad because you didn't write that? That's me with Stay

 

the hand that falls
will beat into your skull
come pouring out
you're hoping to see
why you don't show any emotion
you feel that breaking you open
to feel our wild force

 

I don't think I have the language to articulate this at this point but this sounds like it was mixed strangely.

I'm enjoying it so far though.

 

Not that I can't say this about every Circa record, but there are multiple songs that make me want to quit playing drums. Steve is insane and probably my favorite drummer.

 

Awesome
