GeminiRising79 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) Like the title states, succinctly predict what the new releases will sound like- Not if you think it will be great or suck. No arguing in this thread! My prediction: On the same lines of the current two releases: Droning, downbeat material, accented with oldschool marques, questions posed/indirect pessimism, truckloads of filler, layering. Forced steampunk theme. Your turn.. Edited March 24, 2012 by GeminiRising79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 The past several albums for me have all been the same: I have great hope that it could be really awesome. But in reality, I expect that it will suck and will be disappointed. It always ends up somewhere in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I guess Gemini didn't notice the forum that's entitled "Clockwork Angels" at the top where Rush used to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess he just got too used to the old routine of "post in the Rush section about how much Clockwork Angels will suck" to notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

go2wrk@95974 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I'm sure it'll be great. Being that it might be RUSH's last CD, I'll bet they'll want to go all out to make it the best they can.. to make a statement , kinda like The Beatles, when they recorded Abbey Road. I'm hoping for another MP, but I don't think that'll happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perchance to Dream Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I don't know. Hopefully the production won't sound like ass. I'd like it to be more aggressive, less plodding. Staccato bass riffing would be nice. On S&A, Geddy stated that he had come full circle and was more into holding down the bottom end. I hope he breaks out of that mold. No Geddy choirs, please. To me, it sounds cheesy. Less guitar layering. I don't enjoy listening to 15 guitars playing at the same time. With Nick being involved from the beginning this time around, I think those things can be accomplished. Keeping my fingers crossed as this is already a done deal and it will be what it will be.

DistantEarlyRushFan Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 OP's negativity aside, I think the new record will sound good. The two tracks we have already are arguably better than far cry. I'm expecting one of Rush's best releases in 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unattractive Truth Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 QUOTE (Perchance to Dream @ Mar 24 2012, 04:11 PM) No Geddy choirs, please. To me, it sounds cheesy. But when the tour comes, what will Alex pretend to sing?? I really like Caravan and BU2B, so if that's what it sounds like, I'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigershark2112 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 It will be a fierce symphony of sound, space and time colliding, bursting as 3 bright stars and expanding an entire new universe, just as I see all of their albums. Call me optimistic, but Rush have yet to disappoint me. Besides this whole waiting thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like Caravan, too. BU2B I'm not as fond of, but there's no doubt that it's a rockin' song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DistantEarlyRushFan Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I choose to live in the reality. This is where Rush is the best band ever. Also, their releases are better than just a sum of all their (minor) flaws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Judging by Caravan and BU2B I would guess the album will sound like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 If it's half as good as Caravan, I'll be happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbirdsong Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 It is going to sound like a Rush album made nearly 40 years after first one. Wouldn't you like to be able to say that about your career? Of all the bands I listen to and enjoy these guys and King Crimson are about the only ones that can still put out material that can stand with their entire body of work. I'm excited to hear it.

ReflectedLight Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 prediction: lots of guitar layering, not enough space between music and lyrics, lack of melody i'm not expecting much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was said that they were moving away from the excessive layering and going for a more direct approach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
