Circus Maximus - Isolate (2007) Review / Discussion

Welcome to the listening party! We enjoyed discussing this album and invite you to read the lyrics along with us. Also, feel free to leave a comment and tell us about some of your own favorite forgotten legends of sound. How would you rate these songs? Let us know!
Let's keep the discussion going!

Circus Maximus is one of our favorite prog metal bands and it was fun to talk about this album. These guys are insanely talented instrumentalists as well as great songwriters, which is rare in the prog world. Beyond Isolate, they have written some truly moving music on their other albums as well. Songs like Alive, Silence from Angels Above, Game of Life, Reach Within, Last Goodbye, Flames and Chivalry are some personal favorites that mean a lot. We're just geeking out at this point, but man, this band is awesome. We hope they are still writing music and we also hope you check out their other albums as well!

Our Score: 8.84 / 10
