After multiple plays I still rate this low as a MMJ album.
Three tracks, Victory Dance, Circuital and Wonderful stand out. The rest ok but not up to that high standard expected.
Suppose it could have been the pre release hype etc but Circuital is just a middle of the road pop rock album over all.
Seem to be playing those three tracks and skipping most of the others.
You're right.
Oh, wait a moment. No you're not, you're wrong.
This reminds me of an old saying that seems applicable here....
"Opinions are like assholes...everybody's got one."
Me thinks the first 8 tracks are quite tasty. The last two, just can't get into them, but will keep listening. May be why they are on side 4 of the vinyl.

if you were expecting the answer to the meaning of life on this album, you will be disappointed.
but if you were expecting 45 minutes of good, clean fun delivered by one of the world's great rock 'n roll bands, you got exactly what you wanted.

Still following the trend of new members bashing the album I see. Sigh....
Haters wanna hate.
Trend? I dont follow trends me mate. Just dont find tracks like Black Metal and Outa my System to be anywhere near as good as the likes of One Big Holiday, Dondante, Steam Engine, The Bear, Gideon and on and on and on etc.
Absolute rubbish and a waste of a thread. Go bash MMJ and CIRCUITAL elsewhere. Just the title of this thread alone pissed me off.

Interesting -- Victory Dance -> Circuital -> (skip) -> Wonderful -> (skip) -> (skip) -> (skip) -> (skip) -> (skip) -> (skip) -> (ponder Tracy pics)
It's also interesting to me because Wonderful wouldn't make it into my top 5 on the album. ???

C'mon dude, Im pretty sure Ravi would not approve of posting pictures like this from his college days ;)
Weird...
I feel this album is their best effort since It Still Moves. I thought Z was ok but i wore on me quickly, could not get into most of EU, but this album has renewed my faith in MMJ, and has got me back on the boards. Black Metal is sick! And Slow Slow Tune could be a track off of ISM. Just my 2 cents.

Very funny! Personally, I find Circuital to be one of my favorite albums released in quite awhile. If anything, it has reignited my MMJ love.

That is Steve H. that's what THAT is.
Circuital should be a perfectly crafted album of 10 beautiful songs that will melt our faces live...oh wait...IT IS (duh)! ::)
