AFTK.

 

XANADU!!!!!!!!!!!!

The first four albums were all a little patchy, but from AFTK onwards, CA doesn't even come close to sharing breathing space until the nineties.

These polls have reached the era where I find myself voting against Clockwork Angels...as much as I don't really like to.

 

"Every nerve is...toooorn apaaaart!!"

 

A Farewell to Kings

I need to be respectful here, but to call C X-1, FTK, CM, CTTH, in the awful range...using words like that regarding Kings may incite a riot.

 

The only awful thing regarding these two albums is the CA production value. If I can't even hear what Ged and Al are playing, there is no way I can compare CA to any Broon album, let alone Kings.

 

Any vote for CA here is outright silly, yet we all have our tastes.

 

Maybe the 2012-13 bathroom lines and ticket sales spoke for themselves...

AFTK loses to CA. The amount of epic tracks on CA puts it on top.

 

The Anarchist

Carnies

Halo Effect

Seven Cities Of Gold

The Wreckers

The Garden

BU2B

Caravan

Wish Them Well

 

How are any of these more epic than A Farewell To Kings, Xanadu or Cygnus X-1?

 

As for CA's title track and Headlong Flight, how are they more epic than Xanadu alone?

 

As for songs like Carnies, The Wreckers, BU2B2 or The Garden, how can they top songs as classic and timeless as Cinderella Man, or Closer To The Heart?

 

And as a segue to the next track, come on, their is now way that BU2B2 tops Madrigal?

 

Seriously, there is absolutely NOTHING on CA that outdoes AFTK.

 

You go well overboard with CA, and when it comes to the greatness of AFTK, so do I!

I too was gobsmacked...their is a limit to how much hyperbole can be owed to this most recent of Rush releases.

Clarify. I'm basically voting for AFTK for 1 song.....but........

 

It's Freakin' Xanadu!!!!!

 

Mick

 

One song?? Pshaw...

 

I know, it's freakin' Xanadu! But still...pshaw.

 

(I know you don't love Kings...but one song? The title track does nothing for you? Closer to the Heart, Cinderella Man, Madrigal, Cygnus Book I, just toss them all?). :o

Xanadu is a song that there aren't enough superlatives worthy to describe its greatness.

 

It is the classic of classic songs.

 

Had Rush never recorded another album after AFTK, there is no doubt in my mind that they would still be remembered and applauded for AFTK.

Dude...I responded exactly how you do to us ALL THE TIME, and also...if there was a book club style Rush meeting, this particular debate I think could be really fun!

 

Seriously dude...I was genuinely suprised (but remember, I voted CA over FBN and almost did so for 2112...I even stuck up for it in mine and Mick's thread lol).
