He pretty much single handedly got them to do a concept record again which none of us thought would happen. I don't even think they would be using Taurus Pedals or keys again if it wasn't for Nick. SnA was mostly written when he came on board so I will judge him on this record not SnA.(which still has a lot of classic moments) i don't think so. i think neil had something like this in his little black book for a while and he himself said the streampunk thing he finds interesting. he passed it along to the other two and they went along with it. No real surprise. The "other two" have been lying down like sheep ever since 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 S 'n A might as well have stood for Steaming and Acrid. There are already two better songs on CA that have been released than there were on S 'n A. Here's hoping that everything else is as good as what has already been released.

Not their best by a long shot, but a hell of a lot better than I ever thought they'd be capable of in these latter days.

rushgoober Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 QUOTE (An Enemy Without @ Mar 17 2012, 07:43 PM) The first single came out nearly two years ago. This point of obviousness seems to have escaped some people. We're waiting for the SECOND single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The songs came out, the CD was bought... those two songs are CA Pt. I, to be followed now by CA Pt.II for which we'll have to buy those two songs over again. I get that they planned this new album a while ago, but after two years, no way can you still count those songs as part of the new thing....

I wouldn't be surprised if they just dropped them from the album altogether. CA could be their 20th studio album after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we can all agree (a man can dream, anyway) that releasing two songs from an upcoming album 2 years prior to the actual album coming out was a pretty bad idea.

I agree there is nothing new now about Caravan and BU2B, they are neo-classic Rush now. I can even play them or watch them LIVE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it wasn't their idea when the single was released. Had their intention been to release two songs and wait two years before putting out the record, then of course it would have been a bad idea.

It might not have been what they intended, but it's what they ended up doing. They could have chosen to not do a second leg and gone in the studio liked they planned. Anyway, it's easy to say it wasn't a good idea in retrospect. Regardless, the album is coming soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
