A happy Rush chick is a happy Rush male community. Keep them happy or all hell might break loose.

It's a chance I'm willing to take... plus I won't be around to give a shit. Every restaurant will be a drive thru.... eventually. Point proven. Especially the whole part of "won't be around to give a shit". I like your style.

Check out his other stuff! He has the WHOLE Hemispheres album like this. This guy definitely put a lot of time in to this!

What if Earth goes into a giant nuclear war and all we have left is Lindsey Lohan and Justin Beiber to keep mankind going...?

Just found this on Reddit and I must say...it's pretty freakin' AWESOME!! Enjoy!

Thank you for, finally, answering the question.

Have to agree with this. Same But.. but.. there is minimal guitar layering on CA, and Alex solos more than 3 notes. Holy crap people, wake up! Stop referring to your VT/S&A complaint note cards when complaining about CA You call that minimal? :o There's like 2-3 guitars in each song in almost every section. Well if you've come down from 1,000 to 2, then we're on the same page :cheers: Here's what Alex said: I think the approach was a lot simpler with Clockwork Angels. We really made an effort to write Snakes & Arrows acoustically and when it came to recording, I missed those acoustics. So, we blended them in and consequently there's a density to that record that in retrospect I would have preferred to have thinned out. When we started working on this record, right from the get-go the idea was to make it more three-piece in order to make it a clearer-sounding record. So, for the most part, I might have double-tracked guitars and only on a few songs did I layer them up. "BU2B" has 100 guitars overdubbed on it, just playing the same thing to make it super heavy, but generally it's pretty much double-tracked guitar left and right. It was really refreshing to approach it that way. That's the way we used to record: two tracks of guitar and no rhythm guitar in the solo sections. Consequently, it's made reproducing them live simpler in some ways and also more satisfying in the context of having just one guitar player. The guitars are much more dense and indistinguishable on CA than Snakes. I loathe Snakes as an album, but I could hear all the parts much better than CA. So either 2 to 100 layers was a failed sound experiment, or Nick really screwed it up. I like S&A and I think the production was much better than CA as well. Even with all the layering on S&A you could definitely hear all the instruments. I would put CA next to Vapor Trails as far as sound quality goes. Agreed. Sorry but CA is no where near VT. VT sound like a train wreck in Siberia while CA sounds like the bells of the Vatican! I think its just as bad, but in different sonic areas. VT is much worse in some areas where CA is much worse than VT in some areas. In total, CA is a hair better than VT, but not much. There is no comparison. CA is sonically worlds better. http://www.kylerutkin.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/crazypills.jpg http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1jzp8pjh51qj70uso1_500.gif

2112 for Alex. Hemispheres for Neil. Hold Your Fire for Geddy.

Their moms must be at it again. :D

Classic Rock is doing another contest! Who else should win rather than Rush? Rolling Stones? Pffffft. http://ultimateclassicrock.com/rolling-stones-best-classic-rock-artists-a-z/

Carnies, The Anarchist and Wish Them Well are pretty awesome songs. Better than anything that's being released these days. But no melody in The Anarchist? I don't...what?

I bet they're all sobbing in the corner right now...

Very awesome! Wish I had a copy.

Let me be the first to say happy birthday to a very cool, intelligent dude! Here's my gift to you! Hope it's a good one! :dweez: :dweez: :dweez:

Technically, every musician "rips off" another artist. And I'm sure they were still in their Zeppelin obsession through the first few albums.

Gee thanks guys! I like my name, too.

I'm a talentless bassist who doesn't know all too much about it, yet. I'm in. We'd be way better than the original! I couldn't sing or play an instrument to save my life...this lineup just gets better and better, doesn't it? Now we just need someone who's really good at shaker...then, we are set. No worries, guys. I got this shaker thing. :D-13: Our lineup in complete. :Alex: :Neil: :geddy:
