JohnnyBlaze Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Depends on which track. Ranges between “I like it” to “I dislike it”. But there aren’t any as bad as some of the ones I really dislike off Snakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Can't really remember how any of the songs go except Caravan and they are okayish on that...... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyta Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) I loved the concept of the album and I think they timed it just right for Geddy's voice to really shine. Stand out tracks for me are Caravan, Clockwork Angels, Anarchist and Carnies. Then there is the Garden, lyrically beautiful (with Neil's nod to Candide) and a lovely swan song. The rest fit in the arc of the story but I don't play them as much. Edited August 22, 2020 by Rhyta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planet X-1 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Don't mind the singing, really. I think if the production was better and not sounding so compressed, or whatever it is, I think it could be better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Like a lot of RUSH stuff, it depends. Not even track by track, but moment to moment. Not a fan of either the late-career yodel or the Cygnus banshee wail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JARG Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 It varies from "this is how he should be singing at his age" to "that was wretched". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I marked it as 'like it' ..... at his age i had no problems at all with the vocal performance. Unless he starts drinking the 'milk of paradise' he ain't gonna hit those big notes again. Like us all (well.... me anyway!!!) he is no spring chicken!! But as a final Rush studio album all three of the band could hold their heads high. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurkst Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 I remember Nick R saying after Snakes and Arrows that he wanted to push the vocals further on the next record, and I think between him and Geddy they did a good job, with Clockwork Angels featuring some of his most challenging singing in years. The only problem being it made it much more difficult to reproduce live, particularly on the final tour when those songs appeared right at the start of the shows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was probably frothing at the mouth as he typed his response, probably so angry that he couldn’t finish eating his Chicago style casserole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnoble Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I'm not going to win any friends saying this but Geddy's vocals on CA are what turn me off from the album and make it unlistenable. He doesn't sound good plus that horrid compressed mix. I can't make out most of the lyrics. If someone could strip out the vocals and remix some of the harder songs into instrumentals I'd listen to it more often than what we have now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Love it. Especially live. I still remember how he held the high note in Headlong Flight spot on three separate times when my dad and I saw R40 in Chicago. Ged was always great at writing parts he could sing. The only trouble occurred when he had to figure out how to sing parts he wrote before his voice dropped. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
