4.0 out of 5 stars
The mature face of Colosseum,
By Rainer H Liffers (Perth, Western Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bread & Circuses (Audio CD)
Yes, "Bread and Circuses" is different - very different indeed. Colosseum have grown older, and so have their fans. More mature, wiser, more organised. No more wild improvisations to a point which almost destroyed the song (viz "Beware the Ides of March" and parts of the famous "Valentyne Suite"), no more "angry young men" display. This CD contains a healthy mix of well thought-out and organised songs, presented almost at the point of perfection. If you really loved Colosseum in the past, and if you have grown with them - then you will understand and love this CD. Mind you, yet another change is possible, and I look eagerly forward to Colosseum's next CD.

2.0 out of 5 stars
At least they got back together...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bread & Circuses (Audio CD)
Jon Hiseman writes in the booklet: "If you are looking for <<Son of Valentyne Suite>> you can forget it... those days are long gone, for us, as well as you..." No kidding! If you loved the rock-jazz of the 70s Colosseum with those trademark fugues you will hate this CD. The sound reminds me of a watered down, boring mix of Blood Sweat and Tears, Steely Dan, and Chicago. Heckstall-Smith is vaguely decent only on a couple of tracks. Don't waste your money on this CD--buy the old ones. The rating is *two* stars instead of one (or zero) as an encouragement to stay together and rediscover their rock-jazz plus classical roots.
