Hollywood is the thirty-second album by Finnish experimental rock band Circle.

Arguably their most overtly heavy metal album^{[citation needed]}, it features vocals and guitar from Bruce Duff from the band Jesters of Destiny. The band's relationship with Duff began when Jussi Lehtisalo re-released Jesters' album Fun at the Funeral on his Ektro Records label.^[1] Following on from Duff's first collaboration with the band, Earthworm in 2006 (two tracks from that release, Connection and Earthworm, re-appear here), the American performer takes centre stage on Hollywood, which is named after his hometown.^[1] Final track Suddenly, part of a three-song suite called Requiem in D Minor, re-uses the music from the track Murheenkryyni which appears on the band's last two albums, Rakennus and Triumph.
