Segue Myles Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 AFTK. XANADU!!!!!!!!!!!! Mick 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Mountain Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 AFTK loses to CA. The amount of epic tracks on CA puts it on top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 CA. This one's not difficult, though voting against Xanadu hurts. The rest of the tracks on AFTK range from awful-above average. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 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 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombstone Mountain Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I love AFTK. In my rating system it gets a perfect score. Every song I enjoy.CA is longer and equally great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Clarify. I'm basically voting for AFTK for 1 song.....but........ It's Freakin' Xanadu!!!!! Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabesCavesOfIce Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 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... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 AFTK loses to CA. The amount of epic tracks on CA puts it on top. The AnarchistCarniesHalo EffectSeven Cities Of GoldThe WreckersThe GardenBU2BCaravanWish 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! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 I too was gobsmacked...their is a limit to how much hyperbole can be owed to this most recent of Rush releases. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still...pshaw. (I know you don't love Kings...but one song? The title track does nothing for you?

Lorraine Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 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. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you do is preach CA bashing 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).
