Drummer Alfredo Hernández (Yawning Man) replaced Brant Bjork, who left Kyuss in 1993. The album features a tighter and more straightforward sound, both in songwriting and production, than the band's preceding efforts. https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/9433/Kyuss-...And-the-Circus-Leaves-Town/ May 26, 2016 Sputnik Music Xander_Christ Kyuss: ...And the Circus Leaves Town (Review) The album was not as commercially or critically successful as the previous Blues for the Red Sun and Welcome to Sky Valley. Critic Dean Brown attributes this partly to a lack of promotion and the band's breakup, but also notes that the album "deserves to be cherished as much as the two molten hot records that came right before it." http://thequietus.com/articles/17287-kyuss-and-the-circus-leaves-town-review May 26, 2016 The Quietus Brown Dean February 23, 2015 20 Years On: And The Circus Leaves Town By Kyuss Revisited A video was released for "One Inch Man", the album's only official single.

The review described the lead single, "One Inch Man", as "unrepresentative" of the album's sound. Two of the tracks, "Jumbo Blimp Jumbo" and "Catamaran", were compared favorably to Black Sabbath and Sonic Youth respectively, and the reviewer noted, "What is admirable here too is songwriter/guitarist Josh's seeming ability to formulate brilliantly executed songs, despite the regular adoption of atypical song-writing structures."RB August 29, 1995 Kyuss **...And The Circus Leaves Town** https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/230433583 Tharunka 41 10 Kensington, NSW University of New South Wales August 29, 1995 35 June 16, 2020 Track listing Writing credits adapted from the album's liner notes....And the Circus Leaves Town Kyuss Kyuss 1995 CD liner notes Elektra Records 7559-61811-2 Beverly Hills, California Hurricane Josh Homme, John Garcia 2:41 One Inch Man Garcia, Scott Reeder 3:30 Thee Ol' Boozeroony Reeder 2:47 Gloria Lewis Homme, Garcia 4:02 Phototropic Homme 5:13 El Rodeo Homme, Garcia 5:35 Jumbo Blimp Jumbo Homme 4:39 Tangy Zizzle Homme 2:39 Size Queen Homme 3:46 Catamaran originally performed by Yawning Man Alfredo Hernández 2:59 Spaceship Landing" (ends at 11:14)"M'deea" (hidden track, starts at 14:42)"Day One hidden track, starts at 31:41 HommeReeder 34:04 71:59 Notes The song "Catamaran" is a cover of a song originally recorded by drummer Alfredo Hernández' previous band Yawning Man.
