Pale Facsimile Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 CA by far. To me, the only dud (not counting BU2B2) is 7CoG. I instantly loved most of the other songs (though I'm not as into The Anarchist as most CA fans). I still like S&A (I think whether you like S&A, generally, comes down to whether or not you agree with Neil's views toward religion in society, which I wholeheartedly do), but there are more filler songs (Spindrift, Good News First, We Hold On). Far Cry, Workin' Them Angels, and The Way the Wind Blows (as well as the instrumentals) are great songs, and I absolutely loved Faithless on the Time Machine Tour. But it's definitely CA for me, overall. I just thought of something...I wonder if you sync up S&A with Bill Maher's "Religulous" if it matches up like Dark Side of the Moon with Wizard of Oz...(not likely, since in Rush's case, the album came before the film...still, maybe I'll try that when I get home...on second thought, maybe not, haha ).

len(songs) Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Come on, I just revived the old "CA vs SA" one! Do we need another one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) I don't care how many threads i gotta say it in these threads......Snakes all day any day. I like CA less and less every day. That Album made a so-so first impression.........and wears even worse with time.

LittleRushmonkey Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I like them both equally. Snakes has more good songs than CA, but CA has a few better songs than SA so it's a tie for me. Although I might lean towards CA because of the anarchist. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddy's Soul Patch Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 There's something superior about Snakes to me. It breathes more, it grooves more, it has a certain liveliness to it that Clockwork Angels fails to capture. I still love CA, but I've gotta go with Snakes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddyRulz Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) I prefer Clockwork Angels by far, and not just because it’s the more recent album; I think I’m being objective here. Snakes and Arrows… meh. I like about three songs. Clockwork Angels, I could go on and on about. An awesome return to form, a return to the “concept album,” genius how the songs work together to tell the “epic” story and yet each song works well on its own. The vocal melodies are some of their best EVER, and the music is pretty damned good, too. Here’s Rush unapologetically doing all the typical “Rush” things the critics used to take them to task for, but which their fanbase loves. It's Rush being Rush, with the encouragement of Nick R.

AnEggplant Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Clockwork Angels is a masterpiece in every sense. There is not a single moment on this album that isn't a win for me.Snakes & Arrows is great, but it has some filler tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
