Circuit Theory
Amnesia

SEMI-OBNIXOUS

The title of Circuit Theory’s new album Amnesia matches symptoms you might experience after listening. Amnesia sounds like a combination of the Deftones and System of a Down with an interesting, almost eerie instrumental, Paramnesia. The short album offers minimal entertainment, but simultaneously doesn’t breach the edge of annoying either. –Kate Gamble

SEMI-OBNOXIOUS

Tight production work brings out the towering vocals of lead singer Steve Angello, as well as the intricate backing vox of guitarist Stuart Olson and Bassist Josh Solomon; however, despite the musicianship across the board, drummer Mike Weiser and guitarist Olson are never even given the chance to display the extent of their sound. The songs themselves are nothing more than tired. This album, straight from one of Norristown’s biggest rock acts, begs the question: can’t you go any further? -Greg Bem
