I knew that somebody out there is interested in reviews from all over the world. Enjoy them. Hopefully more will pop up despite being over a month out from release. It's fun to read what people in other countries say about our favorite band. Agreed. Keep em coming.....negative or positive.

QUOTE (GeminiRising79 @ Jul 11 2012, 10:46 AM) Its just another blog page- This guy doesn't speak for the whole of Sweden! Either Tombstone or this guy must be another Rush employee. Right, and if the blogger said the album sucked, you would give it tremendous credibility. Go away, loser......shoo shoo.....

QUOTE (Tombstone Mountain @ Jul 11 2012, 01:19 PM) QUOTE (GeminiRising79 @ Jul 11 2012, 01:13 PM) Who are you trying to convince, Tombstone? Yourself or we critics? If i could find a review that panned the album, i'd put it up. The problem seems to be that published critics of substance aren't giving the album bad reviews...probably because it's a work of pure genius. Thanks for posting reviews.....negative or positive! Most reviews out there are extremely positive from what I have seen. Haters are getting mad at all the positive ones and want you to stop!

QUOTE (briremo @ Jul 10 2012, 07:56 PM) QUOTE (GeminiRising79 @ Jul 9 2012, 03:19 PM) I've only heard the lo-res youtube version of CA, and I refuse to purchase the CD based on my initial reaction to it. If anyone would be willing to point me to a good quality recording, I will give a fair listen and see if it "blooms" after a week. If I do see some early glimmers and it grows on me, like so many of you insist, I will buy the CD. If not, I will give an in-depth critique of each song, and the album as a whole. Thank u, Kurt I've refrained from addressing you in the past because you are a bottom feeder of gargantuan proportions and only interested up-chucking idiocy. You're posting about a $13 CD. Buy it, don't buy it. We don't give a f**k. You contribute nothing. think about that. your sole purpose in life is to be an asshole. Just because people are responding doesn't mean people like you. Attention is not friendship. Get a good therapist. leave, please. just leave.

QUOTE (jnoble @ Jul 10 2012, 06:38 PM) Hate to be a naysayer but I gave it 5 or 6 tries since it came out and I just don't care for it as a whole and probably never will I like the story, I like the artwork, I like that they went away from the boring preachy folk-rock of Snakes, but..... The songs are too long and too heavy/dense (something that's bothered me since VT), Geddy's voice sounds like total crap when he tries to sing high, there's little to no song structure, the melodies are weak to non-existant. And this is the third straight album of yet more cynical "the world can be a bad place and religion is scary" themed lyrics. Makes me look fondly back at the much more optimistic HYF era, mullets and suit jackets included Basically, listening to any of the last three Rush albums start to finish is just a chore that I can't be bothered with. I'll cherry pick a song here and there, but that's about all I can handle without getting a headache or bored. No problem. And thanks for presenting your dislike of CA without being a complete dick about it. Seriously.....I respect your opinion and the way you expressed it.

QUOTE (Presto-digitation @ Jul 10 2012, 07:32 PM) If you're still hemming and hawing you're clearly not all that interested. Bigger point being missed here... Bigger point was never his target, though he pathetically tried to make us believe it was.

QUOTE (treeduck @ Jul 10 2012, 05:27 PM) Somebody punch this character on the chin a few times so his head whips about from side to side and so his brain will click over to another cycle and he'll not feel nostalgic about bands he used to like in the 80s... That's it?

If you dislike it through basic streams/leaks, I'm sure the CD won't improve your opinion much. Repetitive listening of a higher-resolution recording could enhance the experience, certainly. Never enough for me to decide to purchase it or not. The quality online is fine enough to make a decision. If you dislike it where it is now, I honestly don't see you liking it when you have the CD. What you can find on Youtube is fair enough of a sneak preview to judge whether or not you like the album. The guy is not serious. He's just doing it for sick kicks, poking fun at our love for the album through his disguised request for help, and really doesnt care at all. He heard CA, hates it, and thinks his opinion is the only right one. He cant stand it that so many are loving CA, hence the grand standing and sarcasm. Predictable troll....nothing more.

The bartender says, "Hey, we have a drink named after you!" The Screwdriver responds, "You have a drink named Murray?" Look, dude, buy it, don't buy it. Download it, don't downlaod it. Borrow it, don't borrow it. Do I wish that you liked what you've heard so far? Sure I do, but I wish the everyone liked Rush. Seems to me, however, that your mind was made up loooonnngggg before CA was released, but you do love to stir the pot...which admittedly can be fun to watch. I'm going to be fair and listen to the album (and listen often) at the persistent insistence of others here. I'm really doing this for them, believe or not. Gee thanks. You shouldn't have... Hey, um...while your in such a generous and giving mood, how about you perform fallatio on all of us? No thanks.....but I bet that post made him drool.....

QUOTE (rushgoober @ Jul 10 2012, 03:41 PM) Gemini, I'm disappointed. I gave you a direct link in my earlier post to where you could download it in CD quality. Did you not use the link? http://downloadanymusic/lossless/rush/ca/freeware.com Bet Mr. Fruitcake clicked.....

I'm pretty sure there is a name for that in some sort of psychiatric journal. Yes, its called "empathy" Yeah, because you're such a sweetheart. Always thinking of others. If you want to do something for us, forget about listening to the CD. How about you just put an ixnay on the ollingtray? If he wants to favor us, leave the forum. It will be the greatest, most appreciated service he can give because most us think he's a jerk and a half, which Im sure he's proud of.

QUOTE (NYM86 @ Jul 9 2012, 05:44 PM) Around that point in the song I could really go for a tempo and feel change, so that's why I like it. I like the variation and whole mood change.....the transition to and from that section feels quite smooth to me. A nice breather and proggish.

QUOTE (They Bow Defeated @ Jul 9 2012, 06:42 PM) QUOTE (snowdogged @ Jul 9 2012, 06:11 PM)Yeah, the only thing is that all of his 1600 posts have pretty well been negative comments about Rush. That plus working out his "feelings" towards the band. http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?showtopic=35919 But but but..... "The said Rush member then suggests that you join him and his wife upstairs in the Master bedroom. You gaze up at the spiral stair, and then to the Rush member where you notice his hungry eyes, and open mind. Are you prepared to indulge in both sides of the hemispheres or do you politely decline, suggesting that the hour is late and you feel you've got to move, (yes, you do?) Or do you proceed, tricked by circumstances?" Whoa............

http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?showtopic=75734&st=120. Just to remind everyone what this dude said recently after looking at Goober's one month poll and all the positive ratings CA has gotten: "Wow. Didn't realize how many people here that have such low standards in music. Its no wonder that the music, movies and TV shows that are considered popular today are absolute rubbish. I never thought the dumbing-down process could get any worse. Btw, Nothing personal to anyone, I assure. Just my personal observation." ....what an asshole.....

Thank u, Kurt You have the AUDACITY to ask anyone in here for anything when you keep insulting us everyday how our tastes suck and other such insults? I think Goober has kept track of your insult labels. You seriously need help. You are truly shameless. And it has nothing to do with liking or not liking something. You're a pure narcissist and an insensitive jerk. You love trying to piss people off and get a hard on from looking at yourself in the mirror. Buzz off and go away forever.

QUOTE (anchorman @ Jul 8 2012, 10:13 PM) Please don't get offended folks, this is all my opinion. I realize that some of you may agree with me and that most probably do not. But as this is a forum, I thought I'd chip in my views. This is not an opportunity for me to sh*t on the band. They are my favorite band and I cycle through their music on my Ipod consistently. I think CA is very good. I won't say its great, but its the best music they've done since Power Windows. However..... Geddy's insistence on making this a collection of individual songs that tell a story instead of the 2112 or Hemispheres approach make it less appealing to me. I would have rather they stuck to the longer song format with a collection of other individual songs. The story of CA as told (not in book format) is a little muddy and uninspired through song. The guys may be at the top of their playing skills but they sure don't compose at the top of their game anymore. If what they are doing is complicated, then its done so for complication's sake and gets lost on the average listener. For me, they peaked at Hemispheres. The music, the creativity and the vocals will never be achieved again. It took me a long, long time to come to terms with that, but thems the facts. They are a great band, with a great history and their strong following is a testimony to that. But capturing the innovative spirit and drive they once had is a bit too much to ask for in 2012. I can't think of any other band that kept it going and were relevant and cutting edge 40 years in to their careers. To expect that from Rush isn't fair. So....I appreciate them for what they are today and love what they were in years past. 1 month in and I think CA is a solid, very good CD. Nice thoughts! Thanks!

QUOTE (thirtytwolettercharacterusername @ Jul 9 2012, 12:05 AM) hi guys i just got clockwork angels and while its not bad i dnt really care for it. i mean its by my favorite band rush and they cant make anything truely bad but it just doesnt have what i hoped. its nothing against it we all have our own teacups but i just wish it had more synth. i think synth is a lot more creative for writing and theres too much guitar. just my 2 cents. rush on! I would have liked more synth too......but I still love CA!
