On the first listen to
Full Circle, it's hard to believe that
Pennywise had a founding member commit suicide prior to the album's recording. The record is tough, heavy, hard, and fast, expanding the breakthroughs the group made with 1995's
About Time. Listen a little more closely, and there's a newfound pain and pathos on the record that makes
Full Circle Pennywise's most affecting album. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
