ARGENT, CIRCUS

UNA JOYA DE LA DISCOGRAFÍA DE ARGENT QUE NO DEBE FALTAR EN NINGUNA COLECCIÓN. ROCK PROGRESIVO DE IMPECABLE FACTURA, MELÓDICO E INAGOTABLE.

This is Argents first effort without Russ Ballard and it doesn't miss. Russ did make some important contributions over the years and for many he was or should have been the primary focus of this band as he's talented and did write some of Argent's most notable songs; "Liar" and "God Gave Rock and Roll to You" but this band existed and moved forward because of Rod Argent. This release and the last effort; "Counterpoints" are the two least known efforts by the group that were hardly recognized and quickly faded. Rod finally had the opportunity to complete the transformation of the bands sound that began with the "Nexus" release. He handles all the lead vocals and writes six of the seven songs. "Highwire" is the real standout. Clocking in at just over nine minutes it is a collage of keyboard and guitars, time changes, rock and roll, classical and jazz all captured and molded into an epic arrangment. The guitar work by the two new Argent members is not to be overlooked. Rodford and Henrit continue to drive the band onward as they always have.

Just for testing purpose
