tas7 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Caravan is awesome, the only bit I think they should ditch is that bit in the middle that sounds like The A Team theme where Neil rolls around his toms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-a RUSH fan! Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 QUOTE (thizzellewashington @ Mar 14 2012, 06:59 PM)Ugh. How about they release the entire album on March 30th. They at least owe us that. I agree 100%  In fact at this point, RUSH owes us each a personal concert where they play the entire album at each of our houses.  Then, since they made us wait SOOOO long they should actually pay us to have the album.  Then when they go on tour, the same thing, whatever the ticket prices would normally be, they should deposit that amount into our bank accounts.  Then, they should also provide each of us, not a group of us, but each person individually, a limo to the show and then to a nearby hotel where they pay for the most expensive suite available, one with a hot tub and fully stocked bar, again, each fan should get their own room.  Then, they should fly us via private jet from show to show and follow the protocol I have outlined above.  That is the least they can do....they owe us that!     (For those of you who don't understand this post, this is "sarcasm") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexmai Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 (edited) I'd love to read a CA review from an expert (of those that are going to that Lunch & Listen)... if we can't listen to CA, at least we can read to  "Roadrunner Records is inviting 120 industry executives and promoters on Tuesday March 27th at 11 AM for a "Lunch and Listen" to the new Rush record. I saw an invite to this through a good friend of mine who is attending it and works for the NY Post. He also told me a single is going to be coming that following Friday so that puts us at the 30th for a new song. ..."

Del_Duio Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 QUOTE (presto123 @ Mar 14 2012, 05:34 PM) Well my guess is the single won't be part of the CA suite. We already have two song's from the story so this single will probably be a "side 2" song. If they did re-record Caravan and BU2B I won't mind if they keep the arrangements the same but if Lifeson plays a different solo for Caravan that would be great. I thought his solo was on the weird side in that song. LOL His weird side solos are great, that's how we get stuff like the one in The Analog Kid.

What? No, that part's cool. It reminds me of the main Earthshine riff a bit somehow. A-Team reference is cool though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilb1972 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012  Awesome news! Everyone can hate on this all they want - I am psyched for this album. I really like Caravan and BU2B. I was so disappointed in S&A, after the fury and fire of VT (even with its poor production, I would choose VT over S&A any day!) So I have a good feeling about this one. Even if its not the next MP, it already has two songs that are better than 80% of S&A. It's funny, this band has built its reputation on being weird, progressive, ever-changing, doing angular weirdness and crazy arrangements, but everyone dumps on VT and I loved it because even within the framework of what Rush does, its out there, nutty, energetic, emotive and honest. Can't wait until the day that one sees a remaster. So here the band does a song like Caravan that is a little weird, off-kilter and everyone hates it. That is fine. To each his own.  As for me, I am just happy to have an album that could possibly hold its own with some of the band's best work. It might not, but I will approach it with an open mind. And I plan to be jamming this album all summer long, cranked up to 11!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought his solo was on the weird side in that song. LOL weird and sounds out of place with no melody. i just went back to give it another try and it's not happening for me. the well is running dry. The time signature changes coming out the solo section is pure brilliance. Caught me off guard when I first heard it and I'm a drummer. Neil's syncopation when they come out of the last chorus and into the ending verse section is brilliance as well. Geddy is tearing it up throughout the whole song. Sounds re-energized. The well is full on this side.  Caravan is a great song.  Here's to new material! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
