L.S. Dunes - Past Lives (November 11, 2022) Album • Page 21

Finally got to listen to this and it's a banger. I've given up on trying to rank Anthony projects, but I think this is a damn good one and I'm excited for what they do in the future. Circa ending sucks, but knowing Anthony still has this, Saosin, TSOAF, solo stuff, Fuckin' Whatever, and probably 12 more projects I forgot or that haven't been announced yet, makes it not so bad.

 

This is going to be an unpopular opinion and perhaps I should revisit but I have never found Circa to be anything other than mildly enjoyable. This is easily my favorite AG release since the first Saosin EP

 

Circa will return one day, I really do believe that.

 

Circa are amazing, revisit the first 3 lps asap.

 

There isn't a bad Circa LP tbh, incredibly consistent band

 

Oh i agree, but the first 3 are all timers for me, I think the last few are incredible as well. The amulet is my 4th favorite

 

Did the same on Friday. Great gym album.

 

Violent Waves stays insanely underrated tbh

 

Yeah it does, "The Lottery" is an all-timer

 

Suitcase, Lottery and Bird Sounds are on the Circa Mount Rushmore

 

Live stream of tonight's show right now

this album just makes me appreciate that and descensus more

 

VW and Descensus we're the first Circa albums i heard - and remain favorites of mine to this day. haven't spun this yet, but this is a good sign.

 

I kinda wish Rebellion was the opener and Grifter went right into Sleep Cult but it's a minor quibble

 

I am inclined to agree that PR would make the better opener overall, BUT kicking things off with Anthony's yell of "I'm not afraid to try" is super fucking hard

 

Oh it's def not anything against 2022, the outro of Grifter just hits me in a way that I wish the chill song was next, not the biggest ripper on the album haha

 

2022 is the perfect opener

 

Best part of this for me so far is the middle where it really hits a stride with the heavy shoegaze vibe. Title track is unquestionably the high point IMO - everyone's contributions are fresh and interesting, and it certainly doesn't sound much like any of AG's main projects.

 

this album absolutely whips

 

Is Kayleigh Goldsworthy opening all of the dates or just 3 shows in CA?

 

Who said circa is dead? As far as I know they’ve never said as much and they released two EPs in the last couple years.

 

circa did lol

 

Many bands come back from a hiatus

 

Yea? Name 182 of them then

 

This is a solid joke. Almost woke up my wife from laughing. Haha
