If they did ever pull a stunt like that, it would destroy every ounce of respect I ever had for them. Geddy, Alex & Neil. That is Rush!!!

f**k no!!! I accept and embrace the band as they are NOW! This living in the 70s shit is f***ing ridiculous. I cannot believe how many people are still so hung up on Rush from the 70s. I mean, I love it too and some of my favorite songs exist on Hemispheres, PeW's, 2112, but here's tip, they played over three other decades besides the f***ing 70s! Live in the now. Enjoy them while they are still here. Someday, you'll wish like hell you could go watch them play Subdivisions or Far Cry.

The Anarchist. Terrific, terrific song. I can't hear this one enough.

QUOTE (clearingsky @ Aug 24 2012, 02:03 PM) I have labeled CA as a "masterpiece" as well. I believe it is, at least for me and my listening pleasure. The "rush fanboi" critique is lame, tired, and uninspired. Time to lose that, it's a bad joke. I agree. I like 99% of Rush's music and I make a choice not to utterly bash the stuff I don't. Somehow, the internet commandos of the world decided that makes me a fanboy.

Got the new album the day it was released. I've listened to it a solid 10-15 completely through since then and it is definitely a masterpieces and will rest comfortably in my Top 5 Rush albums. This one will not get old or dated any time soon.

I agree with some. It's easy to assume but very hard to nail down what will happen. It's very reasonable to think that they will retire promptly after R40 but, then again, this is Rush we're talking about and they've have spent an entire career together being anything but predictable.

QUOTE (presto123 @ Sep 11 2012, 03:30 AM) Totally disagree. It's got that GUP vibe guitar and keys. That song just does it for me. Same here. Great song. Probably my favorite off the album.

I'd love to learn how to drum but unfortunately I don't have the time to invest. I wear goosebumps every time the end of Vital Signs begins. Hands down my favorite Peart outro. The way Geddy sings that and Neil is just thundering those fills. It's crazy.

My dad raised my on Rush. What I've always personally loved about them is their lyricism, their honesty and their musical integrity. They did it their own way and made the music they loved. And I don't give a damn what anyone says you can literally feel that when you listen to them. It's electrifying.

Permanent Waves. My father saw them in Landover, MD on this tour, two weeks prior to my b-day!

2112 by 1/1000" over Hemispheres.

My Personal Top 10. 1. Freewill 2. Red Barchetta 3. 2112: Soliloquy 4. The Analog Kid 5. Limelight 6. Jacob's Ladder 7. Faithless 8. Digital Man 9. Lock & Key 10. Kid Gloves

YES!!! B list...Middletown Dreams!!!!!

Great song! I worry about narrow minded people making comments in the audience though. Or, worse yet, booing???

If they play The Enemy Within or Middletown Dreams, I'm going to cream myself right where I stand.

QUOTE (circumstantial tree @ Aug 30 2012, 03:33 PM) I do think that after this tour, I probably will put Rush aside for awhile if not permanently. I'm ready for something new and different. That's the saddest statement I've read in a while. While I certainly need to back off from an overdose of Rush once in a while, I will NEVER give them a permanent vacation. The Rush catalog is far too diverse and reaching to ever become boring.

Love "The Wreckers" but judging from what I'm ready hear, I won't be checking out the video. I'm one of those fools that can sometimes let something as trivial as a music video completely ruin a song for me. I adore this song so I can't take that chance.

Out of those choices? Tom Sawyer. And it's not even close. Just pay attention to the spot right after the solo.

I love Rush and I've always embraced their creative changes in style. It's what makes them Rush! However, not everyone is going to be pleased with the offerings of a band that's been around for 40 years. Either way, I love CA!

CA all the way. Truthfully, I don't listen to that much new music any more. Bothering to check out new albums only happens if I get a decent listen to it on itunes.

The Wreckers is a great tune, one of my favs from the album. I'm not sure I understand why some find it cheesy.

Tough call because The Wreckers and Headlong Flight are probably my two favorite songs from the album. That being said, I went with shorter because more material I dig is in there.

Wish Them Well I cannot see being played live. The Garden might not make the cut either. BU2B2 as well.

QUOTE (laughedatbytime @ Jun 22 2012, 03:44 PM) Good article, but the premise of the question in question is flawed. He's simply chosen to accept a different version of our origin than that advanced by the church, and sees the damage that some religious people have caused others. It doesn't have to be a negative personal experience. Yeah. What this guy said.

Voted for a tie.
