Two reviews spotlight Circle II Circle’s melodic heavy/power metal anchored by Zak Stevens’ standout vocals. Watching in Silence carries a strong Savatage imprint with contributions from Jon Oliva and Chris Caffery, yet shows broader stylistic range. The Middle of Nowhere is praised as powerful but not heavy, with varied moods and less overt Savatage influence than the debut.
