After the first two lines, I thought this was going to be a poem about Russian Circles. I never gave this album a chance really. I can identify with the lack of re-playability for most russian circles releases. I always find myself loving it after the first listen, but bored some time into the second time. It’s one of those bands I have to take vacations from and then revisit. Hopefully this one is different for me.

"Geneva is akin to nestling in a forbidden garden at the edge of a mountain, if only to receive stings from the bees."

Oh dear. Really? Stings from the bees?

I was unfamiliar with the band before given the album to review, and it really caught me off-guard. I'm a fan of post-rock or whatever the hell it's labeled now, and I found the band to be a streamlined version of some weightier bands.

One of the key reasons I like this album so much is because it doesn't wear out its welcome. Too many instrumental bands wear out the same riff over and over; RC get the job done. Try going back to Melee and the title track, the rest will all fall into place.

This was a great album. Even better than their others… but Russian Circles still lacks that replayability for me – I find myself really digging this new album but I don't find myself going back to it. However, they only get better with every release and that could change soon.
