Circle Takes the Square album news 2011-08-16 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 113 Comments Decompositions: Volume I, in November.



The first chapter from the album, 'Rites of Initiation,' will be released as a digital EP on August 23.



Singer/guitarist Drew Speziale said: “We have spent vast amounts of time exploring every fractal peak and recursive valley in the landscape that these songs describe, and we are eager to provide our listeners with the opportunity to glimpse a portion of this realm, and to immerse themselves in the labyrinth of startling curves and staggering depths that we've been lost within for so long.



“Rites of Initiation documents the ill-lit, inward-leading, forever-winding pathways that eventually take hold, on a search for the authentic in an increasingly artificial world. When the boundaries between thinking and knowing, dreaming and waking, living and dying all begin to blur, a terrifyingly primal vision begins to bleed through the fragile veil of consensus perception. To surrender to it, embracing the other side is our 'rite of passage.' We've crafted these songs in an attempt to sing that Transition into being.”

Glad to finally see some album news for these guys.

"..and Spunik collectively orgasms.

udoinitrite





"we have spent vast amounts of time dicking around"

Oh no





inb4 MJ

Insidious.





Waffle-overload





clearly mr. donnelly doesn't agree with their sputnik tagged genre of emo

how rebellious.





wow that guy sounds like asshole





not gonna read a single review of this





there will be millions





That was probably one of the most ridiculous things I have ever read.



Digging: Glass Ocean - The Remnants of Losing Yourself in Someone Else

Lol at first line. Shut up. Still stoked on this.



Digging: Militarie Gun - My Life Is Over

hasnt this spiezale idiot been living in the mountains of west virginia growing weed for the past 5 years





lol Insidious.





"When the boundaries between thinking and knowing, dreaming and waking, living and dying all begin to blur, a terrifyingly primal vision begins to bleed through the fragile veil of consensus perception."



:')





It's just so deep and intelligent.





translation: ive been smoking pcp in a cabin for so long i no longer know what is real and im fucked up





the fuck is this pretentious douchebaggery?





good. it took La Dispute kicking the shit out of their style for them to re-emerge.





But November is so far away!





lol





CTTS is trolling MJ



and so is Dave



good job guys





I busted out laughing upon reading the first word.





drew and kathy are the most lulzy individuals on the planet





i laughed harder at post-hardcore tbh



Digging: Cloudkicker - Solitude

Pretentious, yes.



Excited, yes.



Jom talking about busting, read line 2.





lol god damn. that's about the most hilarious thing i've ever read.





i laughed harder at post-hardcore tbh



u butthurt bro





well no considering i laughed instead of launching into a ridiculous diatribe about how emery is ruining post-hardcore for everybody



but yeah





"How stupid are you?"



You just don't get it, not everyone has the right soul for ctts and their art.





Can't wait.



Made me laugh though.





ya lol





Seeing them with Page 99 and Thou, so stoked!





this should be interesting, at least





Quite possibly the most pretentious announcement I've ever read





lol why are people surprised that this is 'pretentious'? what the fuck were you expecting?





This thread smells like jizz.





“We have spent vast amounts of time exploring every fractal peak and recursive valley in the landscape that these songs describe"



This just proves what a pretentious douchbag this guy is. Fuck off with this news.





Listened to ATRU once or twice a few months back. 's aight. vocals sounded like shit but the instrumentation was solid.



Have had no desire since then to revisit it.





You guys all suck these guys are fucking amazing deep intellectually arousing poets who revolutionised language in music and just make pure fucking art you idiots just don't get it



LOL JK



Not even gonna bother with this





I meant literally the first word of the news article, not whatever that Drew guy was saying. I literally went from *click" to Insidious to *hits back on browser*.





EDIT: "We've spent a lot of time on these songs. They're about finding real meaning in an increasingly artificial world. We hope you like them."



You know, less cunt-ish.





so is it safe to say that these guys are the Liturgy of post-hxc?

^ LMFAO. YOU WRITE BAD SCREAMO MUSIC YOU HIPPIE FUCK.

"We have spent a lot of time writing these songs, and we are eager for our fans to hear them."







I am still pissed my ATRU review got taken down, it was Goddamn epic if you ask me.





They look like a normal band until you get to Drew looking disgustedly at the first guy's receding hairline.





God I hate Drew Spez





hey hans put it back up





lol, it would be interesting to write a review for this when it comes out.





this makes a victory records press release look almost humble in comparison. good band but lol.





Im gonna review it I'll have 3,000 views within the first hour. Probably about 10 negs too.





hope this rules.





atru is classic, im excited





Fucking finally

So stoked



Digging: RMR - DRUG DEALING IS A LOST ART

Let the completely justified hyperbole begin.





god what a douche





I'm just telling you guys right now Im going to 1 this in my review.





honestly im surprised MJ didn't like this band at all, i feel like his and Drew's vocabularies would have had a great time double dutch-ruddering each other







all aboard the hype train via one long-winded update after another lol





Pretentious. as. fuck.

But boy, I'm really excited for this shit.





I have a feeling that the first review will be a 1.





Will probably rule, tbh.





I'm glad the news doesn't call them skramz since they reeeeallyy aren't. But yeah I'm excited.





And being called insidious isn't a problem?





try again



Aws, u butthurt lol??

Figures







Yeah, not sure this Dave Donnelly knows what insidious means.





CTTS actually going through with releasing something? No way.



Can't really believe it's happening, but still excited though.





I'm fairly excited for this.





stoked but wow that has to be the most pretentious piece of shit ive ever read.





Ill-lit







"Right now upon a mountaintop somewhere a thesaurus is screaming in agony as it loses its virginity."



LOL





This will be decent, but not groundbreaking, but I hope it will. Just think it will be hard to follow up years and years of hype.



Also, how are people surprised at that pretentious statement? Should expect that from CTTS, nothing new there.





they were better when they weren't making music just to tease us





~omg so0o0o0o0o pretentious~~





yes babay





This news item is rather insidious in that it lacks the fractal peaks & recursive valleys that it should have, yet gets its point across.



So anyway, are these guys catchy or what? ;-)





oh boy this is gonna be interesting





I'm actually really excited for this. all pretentious douchebaggery aside, I really like ATRU and I'm stoked to see what the hell they have been doing these past 7 years (besides drugs). It's probably going to be great tbh, and split Sputnik into the "Love CTTS" crowd and the "Hate CTTS" crowd all over again.





Fucking stoked. Hoping this lives up to expectations. Considering how long they've spent on it, it bloody well should.





Lol, out come the haters. And I agree 36C, all clips from the album sounded incredible. Should be AOTY, I can't believe this is actually coming out finally.





yes





Excited. ATRU had some really great moments and was an overall very strong release in my opinion. I hope that this is able to at least make it feel worth the wait.





ATRU is in my top 10 albums, unbelievably stoked.





their lyrics are so stupid but i love the style





if they decide to quit fucking around and write a decently cohesive song it could very well be brilliant.





This is the Duke Nukem Forever of screamo music. It'll probably be just as bad.





chocolate starfish is duke nukem forever in every way





this is gonna b true





Truer than Yeezy nigga?





Honestly, how is this announcement 'pretentious'? I mean, yeah, it's a bit wordy and...over-descriptive, but it's not like they're..."this album is gonna be unlike anything you've ever heard before and the best thing ever" and stuff. They're just very...over-descriptively describing their writing process for this album. They're just stating what they're trying to do. And I'll bet you anything the album's gonna do it pretty damn well. So FUCKING excited for this.





And we hereby declare the return of MJ in November of 2011.





"Honestly, how is this announcement 'pretentious'? I mean, yeah, it's a bit wordy and...over-descriptive, but it's not like they're..."this album is gonna be unlike anything you've ever heard before and the best thing ever" and stuff. "



True, I like this better than Akerfeldt saying once again how the next album is gonna be the best they ever made, followed by 65 minutes of average progmetal.















What a cunt statement.





It's pretentious because it's obvious whoever said it (Drew?) worded everything like that to try to sound epic. When he/she says "we are eager to provide our listeners with the opportunity to glimpse a portion of this realm, and to immerse themselves in the labyrinth of startling curves and staggering depths that we've been lost within for so long.", he/she literally means, "We're excited for you to hear this."



They're trying to make the announcement of their album sound like the most grandiose statement to ever be released. And granted, it's huge news for a lot of people (ATRU was my favorite album about a year ago so im one of them), but they should just let the album do the talking on its own.





This ^^^^





I think that first word should be changed to "Rejoice!"





OMG YES THIS IS GONNA RULE!!!







"we have spent vast amounts of time dicking around"



123



still gonna rule





i feel like this will be a SHUT THE FUCK UP FELDMAN





Fuck yeah. I have HUGE expectations for this album.





I cant wait to review this I already have it envisioned in my head





God these dudes are pretentious. Just release a fucking album and stop talking about it





worst band ever





I hope we get a lot more updates like this leading up to it's release.





i hate that after all this time, this is just "volume 1"



like cman





also, the EP coming out is the first chapter of the first chapter? fuck that





Cant wait for volume 2
