I just caught up with "Station" on the occasion of the release of the new "Guidance" (2016). The first Russian Circles album I heard was "Geneva" (2009), which I still consider their best. I used to listen to it on an early morning commute, before sunrise, and it was a fantastic soundtrack for fast driving through woods and mountains in the dark!
"Station" is excellent, a strong early version of a Russian Circles album which they have since improved on with "Geneva," "Empros" (2011), except for the final vocal track, and the new "Guidance" (2016). "Memorial" (2013) was a misstep, but now the band is back on track.
Russian Circles is on tour this Fall, and I hope to see them in October. I hope the live shows turn some people on to the band's fine albums, including this one.
