The Nothing Rhymes with Circus Tour feature the band’s first highly theatrical live shows, which featured every song with dance numbers, skits, and tricks performed by a six-member troupe, as the band donned intricate costumes, loosely re-enacting moments from the songs. Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times noted the sudden success and circus-inspired tour of the young band in a concert review: “There’s something charming about watching a band trying to navigate sudden success, aided by a contortionist, a ribbon dancer and all the rest of it.” MTV News favorably likened its theme and wardrobe to ” Janet Jackson ‘s audience-dividing, hypersexual The Velvet Rope Tour .” The group, fresh off the major success of A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out , took a break after non-stop touring, and the group members began formulating ideas for their next album together during the winter of 2006.
