The Circle is a studio album by punk rock band Wipers, released on Restless in 1988.[5]

Critical reception[]

Trouser Press wrote that "The Circle‘s scorching opener, 'I Want a Way', and its tumultuous title track are red herrings for Wipers’ business as usual."[6] The Rough Guide to Rock wrote that "jazzy distorted riffing hadn't sounded this invigorating since Hendrix or Robert Fripp had their heyday."[7]
