Narps Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 You ever have an album that just makes you angry. That's CA for me. and i know i harp on it but it really goes back to the production. Even the songs i like are marred by it. Espicially after S&A which sounded great to me. MickVT is the same for me. There are mostly good songs under the noise somewhere..... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutlefan Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I used to think that I really like S&A because the production sounds so good, and because I really love A Larger Bowl (has my favorite Alex guitar solo not recorded by Terry Brown). But when I set out to make cassette mixes spanning Rush's career for my old technology-challenged cars, I found that A Larger Bowl was the only song I really liked from S&A. The rest were alright but not worth including on a mix. Not a huge fan of CA either, but at least there were a few tracks I thought worth recording. So, I have to say CA. It's like saying it's the skinny kid at fat camp, but it wins for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Snakes & Arrows. Geddys voice on CA really sucks and the songs have no heart. The only songs that stand out are Caravan, Headlong Flight and The Garden. The rest of it is just one long drone to me.Rollingstone could use a great perspective such as this—spot on. It's just crap Glad you agree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got to give the Remixed version a listen or two straight through. Doesn't make your head hurt, and you might find yourself saying at some point, "Sheee*t, this is some good stuff!" Just maybe.

Mr. Not Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Clockwork Angels "Way the Wind Blows" is a very strong track though and challenges anything on CA, so I will say that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bridge is the redeeming moment, but that's not nearly enough to save the track. I want to call it the band's generic attempt at writing a doom metal waltz song, but I don't think it even qualifies for that label 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dilemma is that I'm quite smitten with Eagle Moon on most discussions except when it involves CA. OK. Fire away—she deserves it on this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedRush Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 How the f**k did we find 7 people who like S&A, Rush's worst album that doesn't start with Animate, more than Rush's best album since 1981? Sure, the production on S&A is better, but the best produced album since 1985 is also the band's worst album since 1985 (or ever). Good production doesn't mean good songs. And S&A is a plodding, boring, morass of sameness. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
