───────────────────────────────{RELEASE_NOTES}───────────────────────────────
Depending on which sociologist you talk to, an album as angrily
violent as Circles either encourages hostility or decreases it
- the sociologists who contend that albums like Circles are
beneficial would argue that by being cathartic and enabling
listeners to deal with their demons, they ultimately promote a
healthier state of mind. One thing's for sure: Five Foot Thick
expresses a great deal of rage on this scorching debut album,
which was originally self-released in 2000 and was reissued by
Eclipse in 2004. Five Foot Thick had been together for three
years when they recorded Circles, and in their hometown of
Spokane, WA, they had acquired a reputation for being
headbangers with a major hip-hop obsession. Indeed, Five Foot
Thick's love of hip-hop is impossible to miss on this CD, which
draws on rap-metal/alternative metal influences like Rage
Against the Machine, Limp Bizkit, Korn, and (hed) pe. From lead
vocalist Bryan Dilling's searing, mad-as-hell raps to Matt
Vansteenwyk's sampling and turntable tricks, Circles is
obviously the work of metalheads who had been raised on a
combination of rock and rap. The material isn't groundbreaking
by early-2000s standards; when Circles first came out in 2000,
rap-metal was an extremely crowded field -- and Five Foot Thick
doesn't bring anything new or unusual to the style. But what
Circles lacks in originality, it makes up for with pure,
unmitigated passion; one can't accuse Dilling, Vansteenwyk,
guitarist George Silva, bassist Kris Demers, or drummer Silas
McQuain of sounding bored or uninspired on these blistering,
confrontational performances. Circles falls short of
exceptional, but it's a decent, if less than distinctive,
footnote in the history of rap-metal.
