New Digital Man Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 What happened to the good old days days when we waited for a new record to be released before we tore it apart! Seems like a few people are jumping the gun lately! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddyLeeFender Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 So what is mainstream music to you then? Seriously, if Rush is so bad to you then what do you call the radio artists of 2011? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielmclark Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 You guys are wasting your time. He's a troll. He's posts his anti-Rush/anti-Neil rants here because he's a troll and gets off on your responses. Best way to deal with him is to ignore him.

Note:these are my genuine thoughts. Please- no flaming! what does this mean? It means Gemini is a little off with his assessments. His points are worded a little vaguely so I'll tread carefully: Substandard recording qualities of weak material: If you don't like the material on S&A, that's fine. Sound quality and production-wise, it's one of the band's best. Over-reliance on misaligned third-party directional coaches: Meaning, no one but Terry Brown will do! Over-reliance on computer technologies/electronics: S&A had too much of the Chorus Of Geddys that they had to trigger live. I didn't like that either. Otherwise, the live sample triggering doesn't seem like a big deal. Overlayering: The band keeps talking about the stripped-down production of the new album, and S&A is less layered than VT (except for the Chorus Of Geddys), so they seem to be moving away from the overproduced sound. Overproduction: Redundant. See above. Endless barrage of commercial media containing the aforementioned: Huh? You talking about the live CDs and DVDs? And last but not least, a domineering/controlling lyricist holding the band and fans hostage with his malignant hobby philosophy. Yes, Alex and Geddy and millions of fans can't think for themselves, and we are all brainwashed automatons being controlled by Neil via MK Ultra. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v318/1001001/gifs/hypnotized2.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micgtr71 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 QUOTE (theredtamasrule @ Jan 15 2012, 01:12 PM) If all that's true then why bother with them anymore? Really, there's better things to do than fret over a band that's moved in direction you don't like. This is a good point. There are several bands that I have "gotten off the bus" with for reasons such as a change of direction. Dream Theater lost me after Scenes...Yes lost me with Open Your Eyes...Though I like the new album and Magnification. Queensryche lost me with whatever that was that followed Hear in the Now...(fantastic album by the way). If I did not like what Rush was doing, I would get off the bus with them. I'm not going to lie, Feedback was a difficult pill to swallow. I like enough of S&A to stay on board. Looking forward...and this from an old school type myself.

Brooks Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (driventotheedge @ Jan 15 2012, 02:17 PM) I say they're the best of the older bands still working, at least to my taste and ears. I think both their new records and their live shows are better. WINNER WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER no band this long in the tooth is gonna surpass their heyday; that said, RUSH is at an all time high in performance and post-heyday material. THEY ARE THE LAST OF THE ORIGINAL CLASSIC HARD RAWK BANDS THAT ARE STILL RELEVANT AND PERFORMING AT A HIGH LEVEL, and the rest of us here are grateful.
