WCFIELDS Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 QUOTE (endlesslyrocking @ May 2 2007, 07:19 AM) to many mindless polls. so many negative fans. the album is out one day and there is already a post "what is the worst song". You people analyze everything too much. lighten up and enjoy the music or find another website to poison also.....the album was leaked, so "the album has been out for one day", is flawed......as there are tons of Freeloaders hanging around here.

pedro2112 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 QUOTE (circumstantial tree @ May 2 2007, 12:27 PM) I knew for a long time this would happen - bitching and moaning from both camps once the new album was released. It happened with Vapor Trails. However, this time it won't be "clipping" that will get the most discussion. This is what I have seen and seeing now: "I don't like Snakes and Arrows" "You're not a true fan then. You're living in the past" actually what I am seeing is more like there are some of those who don't like the album that can't stand the fact that the vast majority do. They have taken it upon themselves to post negatively about the album every chance they can get. I don't have a problem with criticism, I've given you shit in the past CT about HYF, but this constant mantra of S&A sucks gets old really quick. If there are those that don't like it.. great. But this board was founded with the intent to Celebrate Rush, and also to have a place on the web to hang out with like minded individuals. If you don't like the release, fine, state your opinion in a respectful way and move on. But this incessant attack on the release and the band, as if the band has personally gone into some of these posters home and killed their pet dogs, is getting ridiculous. Yes, CT, there are some posters who have unfairly catagorized some of the naysayers, but that isn't the big problem here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm seeing a lot of over-emphasis on both sides - you've got the bashers of the album, which I don't think I'm doing, certainly no worse than any critic. I don't dislike the album per se, I'm still undecided, but there's nothing that necessarily attracts me to it.

I don't see why just because one person dosen't like the new album, they're automaticly not "true" fans. Personally, I love the new album, but I'm not gonna set fire to someone's mother cause they don't. This is what we should see: a)"I don't really like S&A." "Well, do you like Moving pictures?" a)"Well, Hell yeah!!" "That's cool." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't have a problem with anyone not liking the CD and voicing their opinion claiming so. But with the way some of these members go about it, it's as though somebody hired them to denounce the release and try to make anyone who likes S&A feel wrong about it. Thing is, they won't see it that way. So it probably won't stop. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P-Funk Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Maybe they should have named the album "Trolls and Arrows" But seriously, I do see quite a lot of negative threads about the album. And it's not the one's that are negative simply because I don't agree. I've never had a problem with that. It's the "Trolls and Arrows" one's that bum me out. It's one thing to voice an opinion in the spirit of discussion. But what I see, is some people really trying to go out of their way to ruin everyone else's good time. And truly, what better time than a new Rush album, AND a tour to back it? I could see how people, new to the site, that are excited about the new album (or Rush for that matter), might be turned off with a quick glance at the tone of the main topics. I've lurked and been a part of a lot of Rush sites through the years, and it would be a shame if people didn't get a chance to dig deeper into this great forum, and find the true nature of it's celebration. I personally love the new album. I have enjoyed Rush through all their changes. Some albums more than others, but never disappointed. I believe this is the next evolution of Rush, and like many new directions they have taken in the past (also at times causing some fan fur to be ruffled), it sums up their past, while still being fresh, inventive, and forward looking. Pretty darn impressive for a band that's been doing all these things album after album, for all these years! I guess in the back of my mind, and as silly as it sounds, I would be seriously bummed if Rush took a peek and decided to throw in the towel because they felt that even their best fan sites weren't supporting them anymore...... I know, I know! And quite frankly, for the majority of the people here, with positive or negative comments, not true. OK, I'm sure I'll get razzed about something after making a response like this. But that's the fun of this forum, and the exact free discussion that made me finally pull out of lurk mode in the first place. Humbly, P-Funk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
