Best of 2019

8) Magic Circle - Departed Souls



I’m still trapped in the past, first thrash and now Deep Purple worship. Who could possibly be the market demographic for this record? Old guys and gals sick and tired of a world spinning a little too fast, smokers and bikers who’ve heard enough about the recklessness of their lifestyle. Of course their critics are correct in their assessment and most of that market has died young, so I don’t know who’s left to appreciate this music. Maybe I shouldn’t worry so much about that. Maybe I should just enjoy this shit and keep my mouth shut. I hope the members of Magic Circle have side jobs that keep them watered and fed so they can keep writing such disastrously unmarketable, nostalgic hard rock.
