The Silent Circus is the second studio album by American progressive metalcore band Between the Buried and Me.

This is the band's last release with guitarist Nick Fletcher and bassist Jason King and only album with drummer Mark Castillo.

"[7] Kurt Morris of Allmusic commented, "One minute the band may be playing thrash metal and the next they're flowing into death growls and thick guitar riffs.

The metal take on things can seemingly change in a flash as lead singer Tommy Rogers fleshes out his vocals and utilizes the keyboards to create something that sounds more like it should be on a Smashing Pumpkins album".

[8] In 2021, The Silent Circus was included on BrooklynVegan's list of "15 Seminal Albums From Metalcore's Second Wave (2000-2010).
