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 :LOL: ).

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.

I would swear we just did this......

Doesn't matter. Zumbi says we need another one.

 

Today I will vote for CA (even though I haven't been able to get Spindrift out of my mind). Tomorrow, who knows?

 

Zumbi also thinks that 90% of us are jerks. So...

 

Today I vote for Ed Muskie.

CA is actually growing on me. Still not jumping through hoops for it, but I like it.

 

S&A never grew on me.

Kenny, keep listening to it. Maybe once a week. Or every two weeks. I am shocking even myself when I say this, but S&A has a way of growing on you. ;)

There ya go Lorraine.......It's weird with me. I know, acknowledge and agree with every complaint against Snakes and i still love it.

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

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.

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.
