Philadelphia's Circa Survive are back on the music scene with their second
studio album 'On Letting Go' and the band have put their all into this album
from the stunning cd booklet artwork to the overall sound of the album,
everything has been thought out well.
With 'On Letting Go', the band have moved on from their debut album 'Juturna'
and gone for an even bigger progressive rock sound that is totally lead
by frontman Anthony Green's stunningly strong vocals which is backed up
nicely with Colin Frangicetto and Brandan Ekstrom's progressive guitar
work which can’t be faulted.
The album opening track 'Living Together' starts off with some huge guitar
riffs and Anthony Green's vocals shortly come in, the drumming on the
song is more noticeable than before and there are some good bass lines,
everything on this song seems to fit in perfectly giving the band a really
tight sound where everything seems to work so well.
Steve Clifford’s drumming really starts to shine on 'In The Morning
and Amazing' where the song opens up with constant drumming and when everything
else kicks in, the drumming still sticks out and the overall song just
sounds breathtaking.
I could carry on commenting about every song on the album but I’m
not going to because every song sounds as huge and as well put together
as the last and you seriously need to listen to this album yourself to
understand what I mean.
When Anthony Green left Saosin back in early 2004, many people thought
it was a bad decision as Saosin were a rising band and are now pretty
big, but I personally think he made the right decision as Circa Survive
are a quality band and 'On Letting Go' is an album that can’t be
faulted and will hopefully bring big things to Circa Survive.
5/5
