QUOTE (hughes&kettner @ Jul 26 2012, 12:57 PM) No one should get too excited about posting it. Last tour it was posted on the bands website right before the first show started in AZ. Seems tbey'd rather folks enjoy the sbow than dick around on twitter during the concert...go figure. it's the new generation. two hands on the handheld device at all times, twitter and shake your head at the same time.

Why does he need to when you don't? not sure i understand you. i let the music stand and it's up to each individual to decide whether they like it or not. it is what is and whatever.

that's what i live about the first album. it's simplicity and separation. old school.

Nice attention grab. I'm still waiting for Trenken and Gemini to weigh in with theirs: Caravan 0/10 BU2B 0/10 Clockwork Angels 0/10 The Anarchist 0/10 Carnies 0/10 Halo Effect 0/10 Seven Cities Of Gold 0/10 The Wreckers 0/10 Headlong Flight 0/10 BU2B2 0/10 Wish Them Well 0/10 The Garden 0/10 Why do you care how other people perceive or enjoy an album. The fact that you like it should be enough. Other posts that say "I'm glad you like "it"" are equally perplexing. eg: QUOTE Seriously, I'm glad you're liking it so much. trink39.gif CA really is amazingly consistent, as seen in your ratings. I hope Seven Cities grows on you. I know you like the debut, and for me Seven Cities really sounds like a modern take on What You're Doing or Working Man (Zeppelin-ish blues rock). It's become one of my top 2-3 tracks on the album. 1022.gif Why should you wish that a track grows on someone? You didnt write it and it shouldn't change your enjoyment whether they do or they don't. Obviously we're all interested in what other fans think about CA, or we wouldn't check out this forum. I'm still tying to figure out why YOU'RE here, though. If CA earns a 3/10 for you but is their best since Signals, obviously everything Rush has done for thirty years has been shit for you. So why are you still here with 4800+ posts after thirty years of dissapointment? After three freaking decades, I think I would move on. EDIT: Just saw your review on Prog Archives, and I'm completely confused. How do you give CA a five star rating given your ratings above? Because of people like you! Stop over-reacting to what other people think and feel about music. Stop being a sheep. I have to admit that I'm completely puzzled as well. How do you give the album a 3/10 average when rating it per song, but then give it a 5 out of 5 star review? The math doesn't add up. He's fishing for reactions. He knows that certain people are going to get all riled up over low ratings for the songs. No,I think that the ratings are nonsensical without any explanation. Also, the fanboys put too much store on other people's opinions. I want to puke ever time I read something like "I can't wait to hear Goob's take on this" or "Tick's going to get all Ticky about...". Or even, how can you rate these songs so low yet give them a five star review. One's shit on a message board the other is a considered review. An album is about more than individual songs. When I first heard Headlong Flight I didn't really like it but as part of the album it works extremely well. And people take Rush wayyyy too seriously... Yeah.....Rush....some kind of self indulging dino band loved by snobs and old farts.....whatever.... It is what it is... and whatever..

i just hope we don't get alot of tweets saying, in the bathroom they're playing faithless, or waiting on the beer line during the big money.

it's hard not to like at least a few of the songs but everyone has a different ear for music. i'm liking about 40% of the album and everything else i'm passing on, but its good to hear they will be playing the anarchist and carnies which are a few of my favorites.

More incisive commentary from RL. just giving my honest opinion. is it one of your favorites?

Good. Everytime you post on TRF while at work, look at Johnny. he says hello to you also.

the beginning 25 secs sounded like it was going to be a great instrumental and than it started in with that new world music sound. makes me cringe.
