QUOTE (Merely Space @ Jun 20 2012, 10:01 AM) Yeah, I really like this song. Very catchy. Neil doing a relatively simple, driving rock beat. And Alex's solo is really good. I like the song enough. I hate the chorus overdub where Geddy belts out the really high "wish them well"...I don't know why it annoys me. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard. However what you posted I agree with!!!

QUOTE (Workaholic Man @ Jun 26 2012, 10:33 AM) The Grammy awards are eight months away. Awards are great, but I'm not so sure that winning a Grammy really means anything these days. The award has been a joke for so long.....Nothing but lip-service to all the other genres of music.....and the show itself is all about promoting the CRAP pop artist who is hot at the moment. OR the band could sneak in with a Jethro Tull Best Metal Performance steal!!! [/quote] Yah, that could happen......and 90% of the pop audience would say, "Who is Rush?"..... Help them Obi Wan Kenobi, you're their only hope!

It's not as creative as something like Hemispheres was. All he really did was take a pretty common story and dress it up in a steampunk world which has been done before. Dont see how anyone could even compare this to writing like 2112 or Hemispheres. Yeah, just the other day I was walking through this central square in our city where they have these giant floating religious monuments in the sky. Then this crazy terrorist guy threw some kind of detonator device at me and I ran out of the city and went off to search for these fabled lost cities. Then I was on a ship out in the ocean where these pirates put up a false lighthouse so we would crash. They stole all our stuff, so I ended up flying around on this big airship for a while. Pretty boring stuff. Post of the day! you deserve a case of whatever you want!!!

A film like this would NEVER be made today.....not in the same, graphic way..... It both shocked and mezmerized film-goers of the early 70's. A brilliant film, yet almost unwatchable...... http://www.destgulch.com/movies/deliver/deliv01.jpg I own the dvd. John boorman, who also directed excaliber used only three people in terms of a crew to film the river scenes...three freaking people!!! Such a great movie with little help to make. do you own the dvd with director commentary?

CA has also passed the 7 and 3 year old boy test...My kids rock out to the entire album...air guitar city!!!

QUOTE (Jeffrey @ Jun 25 2012, 06:07 AM) Common bug for the CDs sold in Canada, not sure about elsewhere. Hmmm...I wonder why that is???

QUOTE (1-0-0-1-0-0-1 @ Jun 25 2012, 12:06 PM) Not trying to sound all "snobby musician" there. The riffs sound nothing alike to me. The tempos and drum patterns are very similar, however, and maybe that is what's making some people see a similarity in the guitar riffs. Right on...Seven Cities is perfection in songwriting unlike the aforementioned pieces. i do see a hint of similarity for a second though

Thanks for the link...it's fun reading everything out there!!!

QUOTE (Tick @ Jun 25 2012, 11:43 AM) QUOTE (Tombstone Mountain @ Jun 25 2012, 12:25 PM) Wow i bever I bever too! Borry, I hab a code!

QUOTE (Jomboni @ Jun 25 2012, 10:57 AM) Score: Five Yarmulkes out of Five Pretty good ranking there!!! favorite qoute: "Gonadal Integrity"

Wow i bever thought that song would be compared to those...I deon't see the connection. Seven Cities is all time epic...those are kinda weak in comparison...Cheers though

By the way, this guy would welcome any comments or insight into his query. You can go to his blog and connect with him. It's pretty cool that God likes this album Cheers God

QUOTE (EmotionDetector @ Jun 22 2012, 12:42 PM) It's still fantastic to these ears. A Top 3-4 song on CA for me probably...love it. Definately one of the best on the album. It has such a funky groove and is undeniable addictive. Seven Cities, HF, Caravan, Clockwork Angels, Carnies, and BU2b are so kick ass...hard to put one in front of the other. Seven Cities is like nothing else in the RUSH catalouge, yet it sounds familiar in some way..do u know what I mean?

QUOTE (Bangster of Goats @ Jun 16 2012, 09:24 AM) ...is the song on CA that, when I close my eyes, I can most most easily imagine Alex in that permed mop hair and platform shoes, Geddy with stringy hair and sans glasses, and Neil in the back with long hair and a moustache. Replace mature-Geddy voice with 70s shriek Geddy on the track and it sounds like something they would have released between 2112 and Kings. Couldn't agree more...they really amped it up for that song. It's an adventure. It's so awesome that they revisited the hard rock edge they had in their youth
