As the Roots Undo by Circle Takes the Square (CD, Apr-2005, Robotic Empire Records)

I've heard this album refered to as grindcore, but it strikes me more as valiantly poetic post-hardcore effort. For fans of Hot Cross and Saetia, and even for the mainstream emo kids who want to move a little more progressive

I bought this item, As the roots undo by Circle Takes The Square, because I couldn't find it in a record store in town. Also, since I bought it on ebay, I saved money. On Amazon.com the same cd was 5 to 10 dollars more. Ebay was simply the best way for me to get what I wanted at an affordable price.

Having personally watched this band grow over the years, I am honored to write a review of their sole album. After hefty touring and several well received but sporadically unavailable releases, Savannah, GA's CIRCLE TAKES THE SQUARE triumphantly return with their first full-length CD, 'As The Roots Undo'. An intense ride including everything from blasts and grinds to stoned out melodies, all wildly layered with monk-like chants that seamlessly weave in and out of the dominating and truly-passionate dueling male & female screams. With a disruptively complex sound of chaotic and emotional hardcore, the overall epicness and urgency of this moving album will undoubtedly battle the established champions of innovative rock music.
