Billy asked if they plan on doing all of Clockwork Angels and they said they're still trying to figure that out.....but that they are going to play AT LEAST a huge chunk of it .... It was more of a technical interview. Also, Geddy Lee really hates Neurotica Lol, I used to blare this song I bet my neighbors hated me. I actually really like it!

I go during Neil's solo Seems to work out for me...I stayed and watched him once and it was enough considering he doesnt change his solo up much. Love watching him during the show of course

Honestly, I think the album has many incredible things by the entire band including "Halo Effect" which I think is a really well done song as well.

Very awesome! How I would love to be a producer..Nick has got it down! Edit: For reading that The Wreckers was written by Geddy on the Guitar and Alex on Bass.....WUH?!

QUOTE (rushgoober @ Jun 10 2012, 07:01 PM) Wish Them Well REALLY clicked with me yesterday. The lyrics are really uplifting and positive! Carnies is also a really good song. The only thing close to mediocre for me so far is BU2B2. Cant wait to get the real album!

Way exceeded...just so fantastic

Carnies is one of my favorites, im not hearing this "mess" everyone is talking about. I think that it is freaking awesome!

VT is a top 10 album for me...as stated above Geddy's bass is just off the chain on that record. Along with the newest release as well

I cant believe im saying it, but damn CA could be on the level that 2112 is on. Both obviously very different, but wow they both are masterpieces in my opinion. Best Rush album in a very long time, and the most melodic and catchy (in Rush's own way) since...forever?

The second verse is just incredible..great song, even better album

I honestly think the entire album is insanely good...but The Anarchist is one of the best tracks.

QUOTE (Snowman @ Jun 10 2012, 12:05 AM)I hate the word plodding. S&A is not plodding. There are at least 2 tracks that comes up in my top 30 Rush songs, Armour & Sword and Working Them Angels. Listened to these tracks yesterday and they are increadibly strong tracks. As well as 5-6 other top quality tracks. What S&A lacks compared to CA is everything. The energy in how they treat their instruments, elaborated instrumental themes, solid, strong melodies throughout, use of strings/synths, etc.... Obviusouly CA sweeps floor with S&A. They are 2 completely different albums so I cant really compare them against each other. They are equally different as VT was to S&A. I still love the good songs on S&A and it still is an very good album. CA bombs on Snakes and Arrows, but I still love them for their differences.

QUOTE (GeminiRising79 @ Jun 9 2012, 04:48 PM) I've just listened to the streaming versions of each song and I'm sad to say they've really bombed this last attempt to create something special. Each directionless mess-of-a-song really only sounds like a variation of the other, all with that repetitive downbeat, brooding/bleating feel, stuck in an aural pre-migraine-inducing vocal trough. Guitar is schizophrenic, unstructured, and lacks any cohesion whatsoever. What is so fascinating to them about this style of music?? I'm bitterly disappointed. They'll be in this dark vein for the rest of their "creative" career, imo. So glad I do not have your ears lol! Sucks to be you

QUOTE (GuitarKid 1880 @ Jun 9 2012, 01:17 PM) The Garden is so far the only song that I've looked up that isn't what has been already released or that live thing of the title track on Facebook. I think this will be the best song on the album, and I hope that the other songs are as good as The Garden. I have listened to the Garden once, the rest of the songs im in love with. Absolutely ZERO filler on this album.

Five Burgers is awesome too, but In N Out is the best Completely disagree...but hey to each his own

IN N Out has nothing on Whataburger, though both are legit

Its Alex's guitar effect, I believe its called a phaser? Anyways, yes the bass lines and that signature riff reminds me of the outro to Losing It in a way..

Compared to the music? Yes its disappointing, but after listening to the music and looking at the cover I think it suits it overall. Still a little disappointed by it, but better than Snakes and Arrows both musically and the cover!

QUOTE (ShlappinDahBass @ Jun 7 2012, 09:49 PM) QUOTE (LeaveMyThingAlone @ Jun 7 2012, 09:46 PM) Alex was fed up with the direction of the band and his continued lack of presence. He also said when they toured that album it was in the back of his head it could be their last, or at the very least there would be a long hiatus as they were burned out. It happened to be the end of their contract with Atlantic too. I don't think it was emphasized in the documentary but I do remember reading that was a dicey time for the band and Alex wanted to leave at one point If those guys broke up from that point on...Oh my goodness... I wouldnt be a fan then most likely...thankfully we got CA a masterpiece

Aliens would like Signals, but it is a great question...

Incredibly accurate, HOLY SHIT THIS IS A MONSTER!!!!!

Probably my favorite from the album so far...it will change.
