The Orlando Magic have decided to give up on Bol Bol, a young and promising player who was previously on their roster. Despite his potential, the team has chosen to move on from him, which has sparked a lot of discussions among fans and experts. Bol Bol, who is the son of former NBA player Manute Bol, has shown flashes of brilliance on the court but has also struggled with injuries and inconsistency throughout his career. It is clear that the Magic have weighed the potential upside of keeping Bol Bol against the risk of his continued struggles, and have ultimately made the decision to part ways with him. This move signifies the team's desire to focus on building a competitive roster for the future, and to not be held back by players who may not be able to contribute consistently. While it is always disappointing to see a young player fail to reach his full potential, the Magic's decision is a testament to their commitment to creating a winning culture.
With The Amulet we are not just given a re-introduction to the band. It is more than a statement of resilience and a reminder of what once was. Full of creativity, lacking predictability, it is a damn good album that rings with a sense of urgency most bands fail to sustain through two or three albums, let alone a half dozen.
While there is certainly ample nostalgia fueling these now-common trips down memory lane, it was never necessary for Circa Survive to do these tours. It was an unexpected delight for some fans whose interest had dwindled following the uneven Blue Sky Noise , and the troublingly uninspired Violent Waves.
While it is always disappointing to see a young player fail to reach his full potential, the Magic's decision is a testament to their commitment to creating a winning culture. Only time will tell if this move was the right one, but for now, the decision to give up on Bol Bol appears to be a calculated and strategic move by the Magic organization..

There is serious difficulty in defining the limits of what constitutes magical practice in the ancient world and the concept of magic had culturally specific interpretations that varied across time and place. In general, magic has been understood as the attempt to influence a course of events through intentional actions beyond direct physical cause, typically of a ritual nature, performed by gods, skilled practitioners, and laity alike. Even this general description poses certain difficulties and the broad nature of magic may necessitate dispensing with any universal definitions in favor of interpretations sensitive to their cultural and temporal contexts. Judgment of legitimacy was a matter of perspective, as practices considered "magical" by modern Western standards permeated ancient societies and had potential legitimacy according to accepted social norms. Considerations of black (i.e., harmful) and white (i.e., beneficial) magic often depended entirely on who was the intended target, with magic directed against royalty punishable by death throughout antiquity, not necessarily because of the practice of magic per se, but because the practice was aimed at those in positions of power.
This ability to deftly move; the soul, the body, and the music itself, is what lies at the core of The Amulet. In this outing, Circa Survive prove that they are still vibrant and able to contribute new variations on the style their fans have come to expect. The quality of this record, from beginning to end, stands out for its ability to weave in and out of tight sonic traffic in a way that few bands can achieve. This album is a compelling listen for all of the above reasons and if you’re at all into urgent, vital rock then The Amulet should immediately be added to your collection.
