I dunno - could have just been a fanboi Well....that's two fanboi's now that have said awesome. Maybe Roadrunner is paying them off This other tweet from Dominic Nardella @nardboy QUOTE On a conference call... but all I can focus on is the Rush song I just heard. His twitter page is a Rush background and his quote is a lyric from "Caravan." I wouldn't really call him an unbiased industry professional. It probably still kicks ass though.

Great post and totally agree!! 2112 is my favorite Rush album (by far) but the 80-91 period is, on balance, my favorite. The post 91 period includes RTB which is not all that great and VT which, as I have said elsewhere, I try to like but just can't. At all. In fact, by Rush standards I hate it. It also has T4E which I mostly like except for Dog Years which is the single worst song in the Rush catalog. Not even close. The pre 1980 stuff is wonderful but unfortunately it also includes CoS which has 2 very long songs I don't like at all and ST. ST has Working Man but other than that great song it does not have a lot. The pre 1980 period has a lot of good stuff - don't take me wrong, I really, really like it (all of FBN, 2112, AFTK, Hemispheres). Just the 80-91 period has constancy which is hard to beat. 80-91 in a blender!! Sounds great!! Got to admit I have approached this album with some concern because I have not been blown away by Caravan and BU2B. Both reminded me of VT which, by Rush standards, I hate. Now I am really worked up. Can't wait!! rules!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemispheresserehpsimeH Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I'm pretty pumped, but I don't like that it'll be edited. That's a whole two minute drop from the total length of it (apparently). I'm dying to hear it, but at the same time, I may just wait until the whole song is out there somewhere so I can hear it all.
