Tommy Sawyer Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 QUOTE (Tarkus406 @ Mar 11 2012, 12:10 AM) QUOTE (FeelingUnlimited @ Mar 10 2012, 01:02 PM) Now the Amazon listing release date is removed, and the Best Buy listing is gone completely. Hopefully an official announcement is imminent. Here's your announcement "The new album has been cancelled! Neil had second thoughts and decided it wasn't preachy enough. Geddy also decided he regrets not adding in the "ooooo"s and "ahhhhh"s. Alex wants to remove the autotune from Ged's voice for an overall "elderly" sound."

Khan Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 You gotta love this comment on the Amazon page already!: "I can't believe Rush is getting another new album. They just got one last year. I cannot wait until the concert. I hope Rush is coming to Cleveland! They probably are because that was the first place they settled in after they moved from Canada. Go Rush! " They're GETTING a new album? Wow..who's GIVING it to them? And who GAVE them the one last year? LAST year? WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HigherWater Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 The fact that there has been no news on Rush.com since Feb. 7 is very disturbing. I have a feeling that the loss of Andrew McNaughton has affected the band more than we think. It kinda feels like the whole show is shut down right now.

These guys are old school, and aren't from the generation of musicians that feel like they have to post every little detail of production along the way. Where other bands are posting what the singer had for lunch during rehearsals of songs that won't even make the final cut, Rush prefers to make a record, put it out, and tour. That's it. The site gets updated periodically, and going a month without an update is nothing to be concerned about. And let's not read too much into the passing of a friend... Neil lost his whole family, that's a show-stopper. But these guys are pushing 60 - they've lost many, many friends along the way because by the time you get to that age, it's a fact of life. No doubt they were hit hard by it (as Neil wrote), but to think that it shut down the band is, in my opinion, ludicrous. [edit]Ludicrous might be too strong a word - I mean no disrespect.

"We'll get there... when we get there!!!" I want CA to come out as much as anyone, but seriously, it will come out. So let's say it gets pushed back to July. Is it really that big of a deal? Again, I am tired of waiting and excited as all-get-out for CA, but we are on the cusp of this thing being released. What is the big deal of waiting a little longer. Let's say they release it in May and the mixing is bad like on VT. The amount of threads and posts ripping RUSH for "rushing" the album out without fixing the problems would overload TRF and probably crash the servers! So for the love of RUSH, just relax and have some patience. It's not like we don't have 19 studio albums, 2 songs of CA and numerous live albums and DVDs to tide us over. Again, I am as excited as anyone for CA to come out but it's time to "panic"? Really? Edited for bad grammar Edited March 13, 2012 by Presto-a RUSH fan!

thizzellewashington Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) Just a little perspective here: Snakes & Arrows was announced officially (with the clip of Far Cry) around mid-February 2007 (according to the digging I did in the Power Windows news archives) and the album was released on May 1st. If CA is coming out on the 29th (and as much as phantom preorder dates should be taken with a grain of salt, I don't think Amazon would just put up a date without some kind of ballpark confirmation from the label), that's almost a month later in the year than S&A. So an announcement around mid-March in that case seems reasonable. Maybe not time to panic. Edited March 13, 2012 by thizzellewashington Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
