I like the music, hate the vocals

any ideas on what season 5 will focus on? I'm guessing it will be about this upcoming war with the Observers

I don't get the hate for Rush doing covers... I'd have preferred 5 more cover albums over that travesty that was S&A

I heard they're opening with Tai Shan. My uncle's brother's nephew's son's friend knows a guy who works for UPS and he said he heard them rehearse it.

Geddy looks like the Count from Sesame Street

Roundabout - Yes I Want You (She's So Heavy) - The Beatles

QUOTE (GangsterOnBoats @ May 6 2012, 01:12 PM) They are just trying to keep the hype down just in case it ends up bombing. Not saying that it will, but how hyped was S & A? I personally like much of that album, but I think many were disappointed. I remember hearing the first tease of Far Cry with the "Hemispheres chord" and getting all excited... if only I knew what was coming after that

QUOTE (GangsterOnBoats @ May 6 2012, 01:17 PM) Well, it doesn't seem that way to me! When I listen to it on my itunes, Hemispheres comes right after (alphabetically organized) and it makes my favorite album by Rush sound like the production of RTB! hmm... is that the remastered version of Hemispheres?? I actually have the 2011 remasters all burned and synched to my iPod now

VT ROCKS... S&A sounds like Presto's big brother. Actually I take that back, that's an insult to Presto

I didn't become a fan until Test for Echo, and at the time Rush was relatively unknown to anyone under 30. It was "cool" to listen to them among musicians though.

Maybe this is just my imagination, but listening to HF on my iPod I always notice it sounds significantly quieter than all my other Rush songs. Maybe they're purposely mixing CA at a lower volume to preserve the dynamic range? I heard Porcupine Tree does the same thing with their albums.

That video was recorded in 1981... Neil was still in his 20s! He's a 60 year old man now, I'm sure his opinions have changed somewhat.

I love Fresh & Easy! They're actually owned by Tesco, a British company. The one near me has a nice little section of British imports.

Way back when Caravan and BU2B were first released, they both had "Single Version" in the title. This indicated to me from the beginning that they always planned to redo them.

Fringe HAS been renewed for a 5th and FINAL season. The only downside is it will only be 13 episodes, not 20+ like all the other seasons. I hope they can wrap the whole thing up nicely with only 13 episodes.

Vapor Trails was their best album since Signals
