American progressive rock band Shadow Circus
I can’t stress enough how good the musicianship is on this album. The guys have all mastered their craft, and are ready to hang with the big boys. Just listen to Corey’s tight and intuitive drum work, and especially John’s beautiful piano and acoustic guitar passages.
…What we have is excellence in traditional symphonic prog form….What they really have going for them is the mass appeal. Even with increased complexity, the music is still very accessible. Hooks abound. The fun is also very evident. It is obvious that these guys love what they do.
…”Whispers and Screams” is a solid effort from beginning to end. I knew these guys had a spark of greatness right away, and now we see it starting to blaze. And just like last time, I am already starting to wonder what may come next. This is a fantastic album, and shame on any prog fan that still has yet to hear Shadow Circus.”
