thanks for the link.   tons of good info in there.    feels strange to be reading about such unfamiliar song titles.
I was just thinking whether it was too much info. :-\  Thanks for the link for sure Dills.

And yes, that is the best 1st track name ever.

I was having that reaction too.   After such little info (even track names hard to come by) it was a bit of overload just have all that there.   But I guess we'd better get used to it - first of many I'm sure.

I had to stop myself from reading it.  The reviewer must have confused Circuital with some other album.  I want to hear more about the Circuital we all know and love.

So Im Confused? Or maybe I'm on of those RATARDS?  But where the hell did you guys get the album already?

On another note: Read the tracklist, and not happy about Friends Again gettin da boot!  It sucks when this song and songs like Oxen get shelved and unless your a fan won't ever be heard by the world.

My bad guys.  I shouldn't have responded in this thread.  Erykah Badu adding vocal flourishes to the otherwise middling track Cornelius Abercrombie was much needed.

That was her?  Was she speaking that language from Avatar or was it Vulcan?

dammit i shouldn't have read this thread. I didn't wanna be disappointed about Friends Again not making the cut until I had other new songs to make me happy. DAMMIT. hopefully it'll released on a single.
don't rock bottom, just listen just slow down...

I can't believe no-one has mentioned the bagpipe jam at the end of track 10.  I hate bagpipes, and this sequence almost ruined the whole album for me.  It was only the choral interlude at the end of the first side, sung by miniature YY clones, which rescued it from disaster.

I liked the bagpipes, but maybe that's just me.

On a different note, has anyone tried playing it backwards yet?  If so, anyone actually going to follow the directions?  I mean I like the band and all, but that seems a little extreme.

I left it in until the cheese turned golden-brown, but it still tasted undercooked. Maybe I'll try again.

You have to start it on the stovetop, and finish in the oven. What temp did you have it on? Going by the spoken word riddle buried in the mix on victory dance, I think I've got it down.
so i'm pretty sure i misinterpreted something...i've been using a turkey fryer this whole time...

on a side note...i read the review and now i kind of wish i hadn't looked at it...it does get me pumped about hearing victory dance though

Might be a good thing, meaning the rest of the album is just that good (though Id personally rather have it on there over Wonderful).

Also, Im kind of glad I read that article drunk last nite...I dont remember much outside of most of it sounding jawesome

If at any point any of this thread has disappointed you, remember that it was "premised on a lie and at no point can you really be sure you know what you've read."

Those are the lyrics from Slow Slow Tune

why do you guys insist on ruining this album for other "purist" like myself.
God damn those shaky knees.
