There will be no seqel, he is not worthy

QUOTE (micgtr71 @ May 11 2012, 06:41 PM) Did I catch a Zappa quote? Maybe in a few years Rush will digitally remaster CA with a digital clock on the cover to dispel all doubt... Is that a Sears Poncho?

Hell, at least when GeminiRising has a go at me he puts some thought into it. When I went round and round with tick many months ago, it was a challenge. You... it's like you're not even trying. Seems like you have a knack of getting under people's skin. Do you come by that naturally, or did you have to learn the craft? Perhaps you can discuss this with the throngs of followers at your next convention.

Your opinion means the world to me, and you jump into the thread just to insult me? I'm not going to sleep well tonight, that's for sure. In other words: F you. Right back at ya, go write a meaningless blog about it Nobody would want to read it if your name was anywhere near it. Much like your posts on this forum. You came into this thread for the sole purpose of taking a cheap (and painfully unclever) shot at me. This little back and forth you started? I can keep this up all day. Feel free to keep it personal, I've got plenty of time. I guess you do, when you don;t do F all, Horrific grammar and punctuation aside, you're suggesting that the reason I have plenty of time to respond to you is because I don't do anything otherwise? I'm a terrific multi-tasker. Checking in here doesn't take more than a few minutes in between rendering videos, uploading to YouTube and preparing for a conference that I'm speaking at next week. Surely you don't think that my day is nothing but staring off into space waiting for the next gem to fall out of your mouth? You probably do think that... which is one more reason you can't be taken seriously. Side note: it takes two to tango. Insulting me by suggesting that I'm wasting time here merely highlights the fact that you're doing the exact same thing. Are you wasting your time? Do you not have anything better to do? Insult me on this and you insult yourself. Zippy the pin head comes to mind

Operation Mindcrime, having been played in its entirety and with costumes and coreography, should fit in the rock opera field, but you won't hear anyone call it that. This. "Rock opera" is a cheesy marketing term. Nothing more. wakey wakey... I bought a new album for you: it's by The Pretty Things and it's called S.F.Sorrow still How about Biglietto per l'Inferno? http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_RwooCpYJAMo/TJJILje90UI/AAAAAAAAACY/fl8XAxaQPMY/s1600/rip-van-winkle-3.jpg Ok Rip, see ya for R50 is that a Rock Opera

QUOTE (canadianice @ May 10 2012, 12:55 PM) QUOTE (rushgoober @ May 10 2012, 12:53 PM) People love to complain about criticism and negativity and think that somehow in doing so, it will somehow bring about some kind of change in consciousness and result in a fountain of positivity, a shining light in the darkness. Prepare for disappointment if that's the case, as this is probably the 50th version of this thread (in one form or another), and nothing has changed, nor will it. Either you like it around here enough to deal with the aspects you don't like, or you leave. I don't mean that to sound as harsh as it probably does, but that's just reality based on history. You can want to stay on one hand, and on the other hand wish it was different or even berate people if they're not doing it the way you want them to do it, but you're not going to get anywhere. It's been tried - many times. It doesn't work. Complaining about people complaining is just more complaining and will bring about more of the same. Being negative about negativity is just more negativity, but somehow people want to perceive it as a better, more noble negativity. At least I'm not putting down Rush on a Rush board you negative, complaining jerk! Real positive, right? I do understand the OP's premise of people constantly repeating themselves, but isn't that what we as human beings do? We have our views, beliefs, personalities, opinions, etc., and unless those change, we're going to remain pretty consistent. The people who love most every Rush song and most every Rush album and say nothing but positive things about Rush are just as consistent, only that's considered to be a more noble (and certainly less controversial) type of consistency and repetition, so it's accepted. It's hard to have it both ways. I'm a major Rush fan. They're my favorite band in the world. I've loved them for 31 years. They've set an EXTREMELY high bar to live up to, and when they don't live up to it in my eyes, I'm disappointed. I'm grateful that I've found a discussion board where I can talk about what works and what doesn't work, where we can share opinions, never losing sight that they are always only opinions, and that the whole thing is supposed to be fun (at least in my mind). Sure, things get heated, but isn't that just like life too? At least it keeps it from being boring. TRF is diverse people and personalities talking about a band - the great, the good and the not so good. It's not perfect, neither is life. Do your best to enjoy it regardless!

QUOTE (lifeson90 @ May 9 2012, 06:22 PM) to state the obvious we need some leaks.... and if things follow their natural course we could be due some any day very soon

Dont you think we should hear the album FIRST?

QUOTE (presto123 @ May 9 2012, 03:45 PM) Crystal clear production anyone? If anybody talks about waveforms anymore I will completely ignore them.

QUOTE (tjtull @ May 9 2012, 11:22 AM) After reading this review, I'm more excited than ever about CA!! Love that they've included some acoustic guitar in there...very interested to hear what they did between Caravan and BU2B. In short...I CAN'T WAIT!!!!! The Album "leak" is almost upon us

Alex looks he is going to blow up

QUOTE (Gedneil Alpeart @ May 8 2012, 04:42 PM) AHEM!!! "I hope all the true Rush fans out there love it, too, without picking apart how loud the mastering is or analyzing the waveform. " Good luck with that

QUOTE (That One Guy @ May 7 2012, 02:25 PM) Interesting read for sure, now I just need the next month to zip on by.. It will "leak" before that
