    Not sure the critical lack of love for this album. I love the focus on brass, woodwinds, 60s/70s soul... The inclusion of mallet instruments really open up the record. A sweet cross between Jackson 5, hip hop and Schoolhouse Rock. A block party.

    The big takeaways from the equally big Semicircle are 1) the Go! Team are back and better than ever and 2) the Go! Team never really left.

    Semicircle touches on elements of the socially aware and a-woke with old-fashioned message-driven songs. [No. 150, p.56]

    The nostalgia lacks anything close to the authenticity that Thunder, Lightning, Strike achieved, and the sound of the 2018 version of The Go! Team struggles to get anywhere far from persistent annoyance.
