in my honest opinion this album is far better than DT's Systematic Chaos, Black Clouds and their new A Dramatic Turn of Events. Again thats just my own opinion cause it seems that DT are trying to hard to make something else all the while bands like CM, Symphony x, Patitude and Seventh Wonder are picking up where DT has left off.....THATS GREAT FUCKING PROG METAL!!!!!
Them compared to DT? who the fuck is this crazy person who can compare even both :S.....no seriously, i hate kids who act as if they know shit! sadly the internet is ruined by them.
Long live Circus maximus seriously...i cant wait for another new album for them! been long!
LOL... DT ripoff?? I don't think so.. I'm a great fan of DT and yes, they share some similarities.. And both bands have their unique touches. Pick your favourite. And dont try to make yourself look cool just because you know a little about DT or any other prog metal band.. because you're just showing how much of a douchebag you are.. There is already a lot of shitness in music, don't try to ruin the bright side of this art aswell...
@Baudez Similarities like... Being progressive. Hahaha, that's the only reason they're being compared. Cause the only prog metal band anyone has heard of is DT unless you're into prog. They sound SO different.
it does sound similar to Dream Theater, wow i wonder if maybe they were inspired by them and other prog metal bands. no this couldnt be how could prog metal bands be listening to other prog metal bands and their influences. HOW COULD THIS BE??? they must be ripping them off because clearly if ur into prog metal ur not about being original, or unique, ur narrow minded and u wanna infringe copy rights. yep if you listen/play prog ur obviously narrow minded.
why does everyone of their songs have gay ass DT comments, cut the shit you wankers. take your shit somehwere else, preferably to a DT video or to your grave. Either one will do most people here fine. what is the point youre all trying to make??? they are better than DT anyway, get used to it and shut up
Okay so I had just watched this video: watch?v=O-aBYqVAYNo, and clicked on related videos of the same band, but.... it's obviously not hte same band, LOL.
@Volta4401 I don't know what's come up in 11 months so I apologize if this is nothing but old news. First and foremost, if you want great prog bands I suggest you look up Progulus, it is an internet radio station that plays only Prog Rock and Prog Metal, you'll find many great bands and knowledgable people there. Many were covered, great bands I don't see... Wolverine, Anthriel, Ride the Sky, Edenbridge, Conception, Age of Nemesis, Fates Warning, Ice Age, Venturia, ect.
I never said DT was better than all the other prog metal bands. I simply referenced the most recognised and talented band from which Circus Maximus gets direct influence from. In fact, i prefer other prog acts to DT. But you forget that, from IaW to SDoIT, they're simply untouchable, and they broke prog metal boundaries, and laid out the specific style many other bands would use, like Haken, Myrath, and Circus Maximus. Also, the best instrumental tracks are DT's.
i heard an instrumental tune the other day that was pretty insane. had a totally different sound. more dt esque. not nearly impressed with this stuff.
Its awesome to see a non black metal band from norway. The black metal from norway is very satanic and evil like gorgoroth for example. Anyway about this whole thing comparing CM to DT. Both bands are great. Its just that DT has more experience cuz theve been around longer in the studio while the people of CM have yet to work their way up to DT status. All in all both bands are excellent its just that DT has better musicians.
BOTH Gorgoroth and Circus Maximus kick ass, who cares if musical lyrics are evil and satanic? Its the music talent that counts. Hail BOTH Black Metal and Progressive Metal!
dude i know my friend believes that all black metal is evil and satanic im not sure if thats true or not but still awesome music is still and will always be awesome music.
I don't get what all the hype surrounding this band is about. Their sound is about 75% prog, 25% power. Not SX, not DT, but then it's not overly original either, and I could probably name at least a dozen bands or so with about the same if not more talent and potential.
That being said, they do deserve a place among the prog greats; just not as much praise as I've seen them get from a lot of people.
And oh, people who think they sound a lot like DT should listen to more prog and STFU.
Im so over this BS. You don't have to show 100% love of DT to please fellow youtube commentators and you don't have to preach hate against them because you want to seem like a more hardcore prog fan by not seeming as mainstream. DT is cool, not my favorite though.
CM is awsome and a bit more power metal than DT. CM is more melodic and have some more power I think. But thats only my humble opinion. Cm is my favorite band in the prog/power division.
You have no idea how much bands hate being compared like that. Being called a "clone" or a "copy" is one of the most irritating things in the world. I personally love this band. Do they sound like Dream Theater? Yes. Many progressive metal bands DO sound similar. That does not mean they are copying each other.
Yeah, and it is the DT who actually steal material from other bands! Petrucci even openly admitted it in interview with Guitar Magazine. He said when they plan to compose new material, they sift through hundreds of cd's to see which riff they can use to expand upon...CM actually sounds refreshing to me. Not best sound by any means (bad sound production?)but it has a bit classical feel to it, almost Italian melody structure in some aspects. Skills are there.
I don't think they COPY riffs/parts, but they maybe listening to loads of stuff and take some influences here and there. Maybe they can take some parts and edit them, but i'm sure DT doesn't copy parts and riffs.
thank you! I once went into their stuff methodically and I was able to find in my collection albums where I could swear DT stole some motives or even riffs from. Quite sad for a band that has so much musical talent. Hey, but while some guys become good musicians, not all become good composers (and vise versa). DT is one of many cases, only people get blinded by their technical skills.
And for all the people giving me a thumbs down, go listen to Gary Moore's version of The Messiah Will Come Again. THEN, go give a thumbs down to John Petrucci.
@emilioktalmetal Not influence... These noobs actually are a bad copy of DT, they can't create their own style so they imitate DT LOL, pathetic losers.
circus maximus plays with a lot of virtuosity.. however.... I believe they lack the balance needed to really make progressive metal glow.... they have moments of genius sure.... there is just something missing.. I cant put my finger on it..
This comment is genius . I agree completely. This band is so talented and they have so much going for them but at the same time there is this feeling of either trying to hard or just lameness to it. Cheesy I guess you could say. Which is very weird because I am impressed everytime I listen to it.
I don't know.. Maybe I'm weird.. But the vocals sound very good for me. =D They're quite different from "normal" vocals. His voice is maybe a bit thin and bright but I still like it.
there is definately a science to writing pop music too Petrucci said it himself. Hooks lyrics etc; and he's a progressive fucking genius lyrical guitar master
Actually it's not that ridiculous of a comment. Music that is "too technical" remains more or less "underground" because the majority of people enjoy listening to simpler-sounding music (pop music being basically as simple as it gets). There are good bands in both categories, but whether you enjoy technical/simple music is entirely up to the listener.
I know a genre easier than pop music, its called (c)rap. Pop singers atleast sing, rappers don't sing at all, just speak through a computer sounding vocodor.
I know exactly what you mean, I absolutely love bands like this. Most new bands aren't doing it for the art anymore, it's more of a fad now. Thats why hardcore, emo, even most alternative/mainstream bands all sound the same.
I love the way they modulate the song between the verse and the chorus...transitions from major to minor can sometimes seem akward or forced...these guys do it really well. I just wish they'd change up the riff or the melody at the beginning of this song. It gets a tad boring
this music is very high in talent/skill. There's too much technicality involved that a lot of people just cant hear because they just don't have the ears for it. Majority of popular stuff is simple because majority of people have simple minds.
This is so fucking good ... I'm speachless really, can't even describe in words how good this is ... Been listening to this song atleast 15 times today for sure.
You can't mistake Dream Theater either. Dream Theater are better musicians. But, it is a different genre as well a bit, since this has to do with Power Metal, DT is the technical aspect of Progressive Metal.
I like this. It's fucking great. But my favorite Progressive Metal band will always be Conception.

this music is very high in talent/skill. There's too much technicality involved that a lot of people just cant hear because they just don't have the ears for it. Majority of popular stuff is simple because majority of people have simple minds.

No, it's just that people look for different things in music, and relate and react differently to individual forms of music. It's called taste.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Only thing I don't like about the singer is when he reaches the high vocals. It's just to much for me to like.
But god, this band does rock!

You can't mistake Dream Theater either. Dream Theater are better musicians. But, it is a different genre as well a bit, since this has to do with Power Metal, DT is the technical aspect of Progressive Metal.
