About this album

Circus Animals is Cold Chisel at their most hard-edged and accomplished, sharpening the band’s pub-rock roots into one of Australian rock’s defining albums. Released in 1982, it draws on blues rock and hard rock without losing the group’s emotional directness, with Jimmy Barnes’ forceful vocal attack set against Don Walker’s vivid writing. Songs such as You Got Nothing I Want, Bow River and When the War Is Over helped cement the record’s reputation for bruising energy and melodic depth. A commercial and critical landmark, Circus Animals remains one of Cold Chisel’s most enduring statements and a cornerstone of Australian classic rock.
