I was preparing myself for the worst given the previous reviews but mine sounds fantastic. .And the Circus Leaves town was Kyuss's farewell record.

A couple of initial thoughts come to mind when looking back at Kyuss' 1995 swansong.And The Circus Leaves Town. The first being whether the fact that the Californian four-piece split three months following the date of its release coloured opinions of the actual value of the music. Certainly the lack of promotion could easily have been a deciding factor in how the final Kyuss album ended up being less critically and commercially successful when compared to their two albums which helped birth the stoner rock movement – 1992's Blues For The Red Sun and 1994's Welcome To Sky Valley.
But another argument could be that.And The Circus Leaves Town wasn't actually good enough in the first place, due to each member pulling in different directions, both personally and creatively. Perhaps the fact it didn't get the same promotional push as that of its predecessors didn't make any difference to how the album came to be viewed, since the songwriting wasn't as strong as it had been when Kyuss' cult status was originally forged. In all probability, the reason why.And The Circus Leaves Town remains an overlooked part of Kyuss' discography is probably found in the grey middle-ground between the two above points. Fortunately though, the passage of time gives us fresh opportunity to re-evaluate its artistic merits, which in 2015 – twenty years after its release – actually hold up better than some would lead you to believe.
