  1. 1. What is(are) the worst song(s) on Clockwork Angels?



Recommended Posts

I am still a huge fan of this whole album, despite many members' growing dislike towards it. I don't mind the production and I think the vocals are handled very skillfully considering Ged's current abilities. Not to mention the songwriting is classic, the lyrics are focused and epic, the music rocks its butt off most of the time, the ballads are excellent, and this is certainly their greatest album since PoW and possibly their most classic since MP. I voted for BU2B2, since it makes sense contextually, but musically doesn't really have much purpose. I could've also voted for Wish Them Well, but I decided to cut the album some slack and only vote once. Everything else is awesome.

What gets me other than the bad production is the juvenile lyrics. They don't sound like someone who is been writing lyrics for 40 years.

I was gonna say deaf. But you're probably closer. The thing is, you'd have extreme difficulty finding hallucinogens so powerful that they make the dirgefest prior to the comeback album seem even remotely interesting.

This I can agree with even if i don't like the way its produced. The two ballads (all-time awesome) and The Anarchist, Headlong Flight and Caravan are excellent songs....

So someone who's been writing lyrics for 40 years should be writing juvenile lyrics?

Headlong Flight is a top five Rush song dude. It's got EVERYTHING. The mere fact these guys dug deep and pulled this song off at their age gives me hope that I'll be crackin' toes and bangin' hos well into my 70's

Well the thing is I don't think they sound juvenile. Especially The Garden and Headlong Flight. They really all seem darn awesome to me.

You know what they say "once a man, twice a boy"

 

Never heard that saying but I get what you mean. There's writing about boyish things and interests, and then there's amateurish. These strike me as amateurish.

 

EDIT: Very similar to the book, which sounds like a 16-year-old wrote it for a high school essay.

Metal...this album is metal. The balls of this album are enough fill Lake Ontario

 

I enjoy many of the songs, buy some are brickwalled, especially by the keys. What should be a nice background texture blocks the sound. Someone please ping me Broon's number, we need to start that remix ASAP. I could cite the songs but need a listen to refresh my memory, and I'm out of Advil. Glad retirement is near.

I just don't get it. Well, four fans on a forum dissing their latest profound work isn't all that bad. I can't wait for CA 2

If you look at the older threads about the album there were a lot more than four people dissing it. I guess the same way you can't understand why I don't like it or why the people here don't like it, I'm sure we can't understand why you do.
