If anyone would be willing to point me to a good quality recording, I will give a good listen and see if it "blooms" after a week. If I do see some early glimmers and it grows on me, like so many of you insist, I will buy the CD. If not, I will give an in-depth critique of each song, and the album as a whole. Thanks, Kurt *shakes his head* Glue yourself to some radio station then I guess cheapskate! Nobody here is going to point you to an illegal stream or anything and to my knowledge online music services such as rd.io and Spotify. You've been coming here for years, seem to have weekly homoerotic thoughts about the band members and yet you won't chuck $12 to hear the album? Stuff it buddy!

They must all be insane or delusional. Well to be fair, the OP only selected the 5-star reviews.....of which there were many, and in fact, could be compiled into a novel. OTOH.....here is a 1-star review that 7 out of 232 people found helpful. I just found it hilariously funny. QUOTE Rush's new album Clockwork Angels isn't heaven sent, it's a foul piece of baboon rectum from the fiery pits of hell. I don't know where to begin, but I'll first critique the performances of the three monkeys on this drivel. First up is Neil Peart. The old fart needs to give up playing the drums and spend his remaining days riding his motorcycle and write a coffee table book chronicling his travels across the wasteland know as Canada. His timing is slightly off on the track Caravan, which could be due to old age. He simply doesn't haven't anymore, and if you listen closely, you'll notice how sloppy his drumming has become. I sometimes wonder if his afro-centric hat distracts his playing. Whether in the studio, or on stage, I can't help but wonder if he thinks about that colorful contraption that sits atop of his dome. Either way, Neil Peart has lost a step, and people need to accept it. It just happens when you become a geezer. Next up is Geddy Lee. Usually your voice will deepen when you grow older, but not Mr. Lee. No way. Geddy sounds like his bits got caught in his zipper which has resulted in his voice going up an octave. For a man approaching 60, he sure does sound like Justin Beiber singing Baby Baby. Just listen to the track Headlong Flight and you'll notice how awful Mr. Lee's vocals have become. The man who sang on classic tracks such as Tom Sawyer and Limelight is a shell of his former self, and his bass playing has started to suffer as well. Here's some advice for Geddy: playing the bass might be easier if you remove two of the strings. Another complaint that I have is the lack of keyboards on this album. Mr. Lee is the Elton John of the progressive rock scene, and he really needs to treat the world to his fantastic keyboard skills. The third member is Alex Lifeson. I don't know where to begin. First, his guitar playing isn't clean at all. BU2B2 is chock full of sloppy guitar playing that it makes Kurt Cobain sound like a virtuoso. As of right now, because of Lifeson's regrettable performance on this album, I have more respect for Cobain as a guitarist. At least Cobain didn't try to portray himself as a guitar god who thinks he's a stand up comedian. At this point in his life, and after hearing some of the disastrous string picking, maybe Alex needs to find a new day job and hit the nightclub circuit and make people laugh because he's so hilarious. Really, if you watch his interviews he'll make you tinkle a little bit in your pants. One word can sum up the songwriting on this album: Pretentious. It's as if they are screaming for attention..."Hey look at us we're progressive. We're feeling the 70s vibe again but were going to make it modern. Woo-hoo! Checkout the complex arrangements of our songs! We're so cool because we try to write complex stuff." Hey, at least the production is better than Vapor Trails. The Elton John of the progressive rock scene? Man, that guy put some serious effort into his hatred! This is a great line: For a man approaching 60, he sure does sound like Justin Beiber singing Baby Baby. Its a foul piece of baboon rectum from the fiery pits of hell??

I'll listen tonight How is it even in stores already? Down Under no the stores have already received it its just packed up in the back waiting to be shelved, but if your lucky some smaller stores will give you a copy early.

Doubt it very much. Exactly 3 months until the opener... They have to learn the songs, practice, design a stage, get the crew in to practice, plan logistics for transporting/setting up the stage, have background videos designed/filmed/produced, ect.... They really don't have that much time. I bet its almost done but not complete yet

Played this song for a friend it blew his mind ..he told me he was picking this album up Tuesday which will be his first ever rush album

what program did you use? audacity?

I hear a lot of vapor trails and some 80's and the 90's lifeson solos

QUOTE (cygnify @ Jun 5 2012, 02:05 PM) LOVE this song - one little detail I think is cool (and haunting!) is at the very end - the whisper. What is being said??? I just increased the volume and listened on audacity i hear " WHAT YOU LACK " or "WHAT TOO LACK". I also tried it in reverse and I could only make out one word and it was the very last word it said "NO"

Most of the songs on the album will sound fantastic live and the title track is my favorite so far with the garden in second .

The whole album just flows so well i must say This is a damn good album and as of right now if this whole thing is played live ( minus bu2b2) i would be THRILLED!

alex said they want to play all of it in a recent interview but we all know how alex operates...

QUOTE (Gompers @ Jun 4 2012, 06:49 PM) QUOTE (RUSHandOSU @ Jun 4 2012, 07:46 PM) I dont know if this has been touched on or not but do you guys know what is being whispered at the end of the title track?? i cant make it out for some reason MiTA will have this stuff in no time....once it is officially released. yeah that's true just a matter of time before its up there

I dont know if this has been touched on or not but do you guys know what is being whispered at the end of the title track?? i cant make it out for some reason

Best album in a long time!!!
