    While it may seem as if Geneva is all over the musical map, the opposite is acually true--the map's just been redrawn. [Nov 2009, p.114]
  3. By letting their music do all the talking, Russian Circles have told the story of their personal growth entirely in song, and it’s a growth that involves all the melodic intricacy and inventive theme-and-variation play that their contemporaries have had much greater difficulty overcoming.
  4. If you weren't already on the Russian Circles bandwagon, this is the perfect opportunity to jump on.
  5. Geneva's a record with dirt underneath its fingernails and resolute urgency at its heart, and like the place from which it hails, it's worth the bluster.
  6. Chicago instrumentalists Russian Circles arrive at neutral ground with Geneva.
  7. Ultimately, Russian Circles pummel too politely.
