danielmclark Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I went with yes because I think there will be, but if the option for "yes, unfortunately" were up there, I would have chosen that. I think it's very likely, but after getting three of them on S&A, I'm instrumental'ed-out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 THREE on the last album. I'm thinking there will be at LEAST one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I'm sure there will be. The 3 from S&A were all great so I'm hoping there'll be at least 1 or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USB Connector Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I hope they keep it at 2 or less. Three was one too many on S&A, one suffered from mediocrity and the other from downright uselessness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shreddy Lee Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I really hope so, I love nothing more than their instrumentals. If there's even a chance we can get another YYZ, La Villa or Mal Nar, I'll take it. Even if it's a kickass instrumental section in the middle of a song, like Freewill, I'd love that as well.

presto123 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I say no but it will feel like there are plenty because this record will be aggressive with plenty of jams in the middle of the songs. There may be an instrumental type piece at the beginning of a song that transitions right into the song or something. Here's hoping the whole record feels like one big instrumental with words over top Time to kick a## and take names with this one and I think that is what they are going for. All indications from interviews seem to be that the playing will shine through again on CA like it hasn't in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shreddy Lee Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 These three guys are some of the most amazing players around, and I feel like when they just cut loose on an instrumental jam without having to worry about structuring it around lyrics, magic can happen. Sure, they may not all be gems - I usually forget Limbo even exists - but the great ones shine so bright that it doesn't matter. YYZ, La Villa, and for me Mal Nar also, are hands down the most awesome pieces of music I have ever heard. They are pure representations of the things I love best about music. So to me, there is no greater thing musically that can happen in this world than Rush making an instrumental, just for the mere chance that they will strike gold again. It happened as recently as S&A with Mal Nar, so they can certainly still do it. And considering both the ferocious playing they displayed on the tour, and that I love the direction CA is going in so far, I think there could be something really amazing on the new album.

Tommy Sawyer Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I voted for at the beginning of an extended piece. (ie Cygnus X-1 or Xanadu) That's what I'm hoping for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pags Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Personally I like the idea of having an instrumental piece inside of a long song. I love when you can hear the setting of the music change from the chorus/vocal section into a long instrumental break. You either settle in to something warm and deep, or strap yourself down for something kick ass and filled with adrenaline surge. Coming out of that into Geddy's vocal again all charged up and smoked... nothing better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Money Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I'll take one GREAT instrumental over three average ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMCXII Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 With all the complaining about Geddy's voice and all the gushing about Leave that thing alone on the Time machine disc, I would think you guys would be begging for instrumentals! Geddy is MUCH better when he's not tied to the vocal mic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 of the 7 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I think there will be; they've often had at least one, and it would give Geddy's voice a break if they play it live on the next tour with a bunch of other songs from the album.

Kelly D Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 "The Main Monkey Business" is one of their best instrumentals, I think. The title, however. . . Also, with all the talk from Big Al about the songs being longer, I think there HAS to be at least one instrumental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
