Editorial Reviews

Deluxe edition contains four bonus acoustic tracks. 2010 release from the Alt-Rock outfit. After their previous album debuted at #24 on the Billboard 200, Circa Survive have returned to once again rock the music world with their major label debut album, Blue Sky Noise. The album is a reinvention of the band's trademark sound led by unique vocals and distinguished musical styling. The band has described Blue Sky Noise as an entirely "new chapter" which will solidify Circa Survive as one of the most visionary and forward-thinking young bands in contemporary Rock music today.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is Art, May 28, 2010

Like the best art, it does take some effort and attention on your part to get into it. Once you do, you will be hooked. The first listen overwhelmed me - it was too much, too intense, too much going on, and it was hard to reign it in and get into it. Each listen gave me more. I found myself singing parts of songs in my head for hours. Piece by piece it will burrow into your brain until you have to have more. And then at some point, everything becomes clear, and it is the only thing you want to listen to. You'll find something new with every listen. I love their previous albums, but none of them gripped me like this one. Phenomenal.

For their third album, Circa Survive continues to release music that is different from the rest yet entirely listenable. Vocalist Anthony Green has one of the most haunting ranges when it comes to belting out lyrics. As a fan, I feel the deluxe is a better buy because of the acoustic tracks alone. Some might think they are simple re-hashes of three tracks found on the original disc but the band tackles each number in a different and equally interesting way. The fourth acoustic track 'Every Way'serves as a nice bookend to the collection because it is simple and heartfelt. I'd recommend this cd to people who enjoy singers who drive their sound from deep within, music listeners who appreciate intricately layered music (ie. the bass part is pretty involved), alternative music fans looking for a new band, and of course any fans of Circa Survive or Anthony Green.

I've been a big fan of Circa Survive for a long time now, so of course I'm going to love this album! But to be honest, not only am I a big fan...this cd is simply one of the most amazing pieces of music I have heard in the last year or so. Not only is Anthony's voice exceptional, but the lyrics flow with the music like a sweet breeze over a grassy field. The guitars and bass have never been so entwined and worked to each others benefit to such an extent. The melodies don't just work well together, it's as though they were meant to be put together. Songs like Frozen Creek are just, simply put, incredible. Another addition to this album over their others is the blending between tracks. Each one leads into the next, a la Mars Volta, and it really works to bring life to the album. It's not just a bunch of songs put together, it's an entire story, something to be experienced from beginning to end.

I've waited a long time for this and it has already made it up to one of my top albums in the last year at least, if not longer.
