Kravitz is quoted as saying that the making of the album was a very tedious process\u2014he was unhappy with the music business at the time, and his mother’s illness was also weighing on his mind.[7] The recording locations were Chateau Des Conde, France;Compass Point Studios, Nassau, Bahamas; and Waterfront Studios, Hoboken, NJ.Reception[edit]Rob Wagner of The Tech stated, “Though Circus is a bit of a rip-off album, it could be justified. Kravitz believes that rock and roll is dead, so he could be trying to revive it by copying past rock and roll songs that worked. Two things are for sure: Circus definitely sounds better than his last album, and it is infinitely better than any inane drivel released by Live. Kravitz avoids the characteristically annoying sound he inflicted on people in Are You Gonna Go My Way. He avoids cheesy ’70s style Muzak orchestrations, and, most of the time, he avoids incessantly singing, “Ooooooh!”[8] Mark Kemp of Rolling Stone stated, “Whereas Kravitz’s last album at least offered several possible new paths for him, Circus finds him falling back on the most transparent one. Whether it’s a calculated attempt to cash in on arena rock while it’s all the rage again or an unshakable desire to re-create the 70s-style rock star in his own image is hard to say. What’s clear is that Kravitz is not the slick reassembler of funk, R&B, and classic rock that he was two years ago.”[9]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Track listing[edit]“Rock and Roll Is Dead” (Kravitz) \u2013 3:23“Circus” (Gerry DeVeaux, Terry Britten, Kravitz) \u2013 4:48“Beyond the 7th Sky” (Craig Ross, Kravitz) \u2013 4:54“Tunnel Vision” (Kravitz) \u2013 4:19“Can’t Get You Off My Mind” (Kravitz) \u2013 4:34“Magdalene” (Kravitz) \u2013 3:48“God Is Love” (Kravitz, Henry Hirsch) \u2013 4:26“Thin Ice” (Ross, Kravitz) \u2013 5:33“Don’t Go and Put a Bullet in Your Head” (Kravitz) \u2013 4:22“In My Life Today” (Ross, Kravitz) \u2013 6:29“The Resurrection” (Ross, Kravitz) \u2013 4:28“Another Life” [Japan bonus] \u2013 3:59Personnel[edit]Bass by Henry Hirsch for track 3 and Tony Breit for tracks 2Electric guitar by Craig Ross on tracks 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 10Electric piano by Henry Hirsch on track 11Mastered by Greg Calbi at MasterdiskMixed by David Domanich, Henry Hirsch and Lenny KravitzRecorded by Henry Hirsch at Waterfront Studios, NJ; Chateau Des Conde, France and Compass Point Studios, BahamasArt direction by Len PeltierArtwork design by Len Peltier and Steve GerdesPhotography by Ruven AfanadorCharts and certifications[edit]Weekly charts[edit]Year-end charts[edit]Certifications and sales[edit]References[edit]^ a b “Circus – Lenny Kravitz”.
