Circuital should be a 3 track EP

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.
The trouble with the straight and the narrow is it's so thin, I keep sliding off to the side

This reminds me of an old saying that seems applicable here....

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....

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.
Why does my mind blow to bits everytime they play that song?

Hey it's just a record.

Interesting -- Victory Dance -> Circuital -> (skip) -> Wonderful -> (skip) -> (skip) -> (skip) -> (skip) -> (skip) -> (skip) -> (ponder Tracy pics)
"...it's gonna be great -- I mean me coming back with the band and playing all those hits again"

It's also interesting to me because Wonderful wouldn't make it into my top 5 on the album.  ???
