JohnRogers Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I have something serious to admit to the entire forum. I have no freaking clue what Clockwork Angels is aboot. I listened to the entire album, songs in order maybe twice back when the album was released. Now I skipp a few songs. So I never figured out the story. Is Tom Sawyer the main character or the naked dude from 2112??? Is the album a sequel? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Tom Sawyer the main character or the naked dude from 2112??? Is the album a sequel?It doesn't make sense. It's like if you took the Lord of the Rings and made a song about The Shire, a song about Boromir, and a song about the journey to Mordor to destroy the ring yet they never tell us why. And then you take those songs and try to piece together a story. You'd only get them if you read the books. But instead of Lord of the Rings, it's a big steaming pile of crap that I highly recommend you don't read 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWatchMaker97 Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 The songs on the album are not meant to be a linear story. Thats what the book is for. Its basically about a guy who runs away from home to the big city. Along the way he run into some situations that shake what he has been brought up to believe. But by the end, he would live it all again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA is always tied with 2112 for me as the worst album the band ever made - CA might actually be #1 go ahead, listen to it again... see if you can stand more than 10 minutes of it good lord, man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA was a return to greatness. I've got it in my car's CD player right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasbo Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) Clockwork Angels.I had a vague idea when i read the lyrics and listened to the album.However i only read a few pages of the book and put it down.I just don't like fiction.Probably why i am not much into Sci Fi movies.Give me a book on stamp collecting and i would be more interested.I must sound like a complete bore.

grasbo Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I still have'nt figured out entirely what Fountain or 2112 are all about because somebody gave me a heap of Model Railroad magazines to read but they make nice background music while i am reading.
