    The six songs that make up Terminal hit the sweet spot between glorious pomposity and roughshod urgency, all underpinned by the sheer delight in maximalist sonic attack.

    Circle have reached many great heights over the last two decades, but this new album again attains a new zenith.

    Circle’s ability to fuse distant or disparate modes and styles is part of what makes their music so compelling. Where attention might before have been generated out of the way it all fitted together, the tension here is more about viscerality, more about the vocal and guitars tearing through your body than seeping into your brain. [Sep 2017, p.48]

    Great riffs and an inherent grooviness keep Terminal gripping throughout. [Aug 2017, p.26]

    [Terminal matches] the sweaty intensity and unstoppable forward-momentum of Circle's inimitable live shows. The material is extremely potent, too.
