As their swan song Kyuss left the hard rock community with a densely recorded album of their trademark sound. It's just unfortunate they didn't try to experiment more as they did on their previous works, Sky Valley and Blues For The Red Sun. Instead they relied on similar formats. Luckily the production and performances are top notch and the layers of sound create a wall of distortion that even outdoes the band's own catalogue. And unlike those past records ...And the Circus Left Town has a number of tracks that are catchy and almost seem formatted for the radio, "One Inch Man" and "El Rodeo." They just don't impress after two other landmark albums. ~ David Thomas, All Music Guide

Josh Homme and Chris Goss are known to have interest in numerical combinations (hence the naming of the 5:15ers). So it may be of relevance to note that this album's 11th track ends at approximately 11:11.
