Couldn't have said it better myself. Any time. we are in a minority, but that stuff never bothered me....I'm just interested to see if CA holds up in a year's time. m or if it's rep will go the way of S&A. People say no but i have my doubts. Mick

And the mix is light years beyond what followed. I've yet to discover the magic of CA....I think it's a huge step down. It all starts to blend together and by the end.....my ears are tired. I like about half of CA. When I reach for CA....I feel like....Ok.....here i go again. I really don't want to but i'm gonna try AGAIN....sigh. Which is always a great thought process when putting on an album. lol I Just don't think CA warrants this kind of response....but it's all subjective. Mick Boy I guess my above post is wrong. There's two of ya Proud of it. too Mick

I'm a 4 by that. Mick

When I want an Epic i go for Fountain of Lamneth the most.....without a doubt. For kicks if I had to number these. 1. Fountain 2. Xanadu 3. The Camera eye 4. The Necromancer 5. 2112 With Cygnus X-1 and Hemispheres not ranking...I dislike those equally. Mick

I went CA....yes i went with CA. Mick

It's way overlong.......but I'd say that if any artist did 66 minutes......less is sometimes more. Mick

I'm waiting for mine to start I know....i got it...boo hiss hater.... Conform or be cast out....yea lol I think that covers it. Mick

I has been listening to Rush since I was 9. Thought they were cool and certainly interesting but what really won me over......The Spirit of Radio. That was my hell yea moment. They're 70's prog was interesting, but that was like now we're talking Mick

Side 1 1. Fountain of Lamneth Side 2 1. Circumstances 2. Closer to the Heart 3. Passage to Bangkok 4. Villa La Strangiato 39:47 Mick

QUOTE (canadianice @ Aug 16 2012, 10:33 PM) QUOTE (Hakky2112 @ Aug 16 2012, 10:30 PM) Ok, how am I, the listener supposed to discern that this song is not from Caress of Steel, Led Zeppelin IV, or some other album that is NOT from 2012??? Timeless...hel-lo?? Is this song the most folky-bluesy-proggy-revolutionary-beauty eh-the measure of Available Light or Totem or Heresy or What You're Doing (?) - Entre Nous- Different Strings-Presto-Working them Angels-The Sphere- and so much else???? Am I alone in my goosebumps and my inability to be tired of this song (let alone the rest of the album!)? Maaan, The Garden, to me, and I posted elsewhere, is RUSH's answer, submission or relative to Stairway To Heaven. Imho, it is THAT great, just saying...or is that begging? For others' feelings? Please no trolls.... AS i have stated, this album is a masterpiece, as is this song. Man has that word lost all meaning. Everything's a masterpiece now. Mick

It Is my favorite song on the album. I remember on my first listen, I was SO underwhelmed with the album as a whole piece. When that song came it blew me back.I was not expecting it. So poignant and beautiful. Just....man Mick

It sure is ok. I don't listen everyday myself.....need a good mix of things. Too much of anything WILL melt your brain..lol Mick

Last full listen was about 2 weeks ago i guess. Have no desire to sit through it at this point. And that's what it is for me.....sitting through it. Mick

I like half the record. Mick What about Carnies and Caravan? Caravan....Never enjoyed since 2010 or whenever it was. Carnies..... has a bad ass opening.....then drops off. Not enamored with the finished album at all. Mick

Presto......just....no, guys. And I love the album

After hearing some of Ged's vocals on CA.....i can't see it holding out much longer......but i am a cynic. They probably will come out with a new album. Mick
