EmotionDetector Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Some more tweets from Dominic Nardella (@nardboy): "New Rush song sounds like updated "By-Tor." Epic, cool guitar break downs. "I stoke the fires of the big steel wheels..."" "feels like by-tor... epic, weird talking part in the middle, ged's bass sounds phenomenal" "goes to rock radio on 4/19 (maybe a tad sooner)..."

I'll believe it when I hear it. Maybe Sirius radio will get the full length version as they certainly aren't scared to play longer tunes. Well, they might not have a choice even if they want to. I'm sure only the short version will be sent out. I hope everybody slows down a bit with specific expectations. I'm not taking about whether it'll be good or not overall and it's great to get excited, just the specifics of "it's like an updated By-Tor" or "80-91 in a blender". Everybody is going to take that a different way and will set up expectations that can't be met even if the album is great. For example, I'd describe Armor and Sword as a relatively long epic-sounding song that sounds like old Rush with strong dynamics between heavy parts that sound like Cygnus X-1 in places and quieter parts as transitions. Some of you just hear the same song as monotonous and dragging. So keep that in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 of the 7 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 My hands were already shaking, but hearing about the return to keyboards makes me beyond psyched! And yet it sounds like By-Tor at the same time? Hmmm...and a talking part in the middle? Wonder if it'll be anything like Double Agent...Geddy's voice was so sexy in that I've got my boarding pass ready for that Headlong Flight!

Yet the stations down here cut Goodbye Stranger short Interesting to hear u mention WRKI. I have listened to 2112 in its entirety on it once and I have also heard Hemispheres on it once (again - the entire song). i can also remember that station playing The Camera Eye (uncut) once. The times that i caught them playing 2112 and Hemispheres I actually pulled my car over to the side of the road (once it was I-684, the other time it was I-84) to listen. I remember I was was like OMG - yes!!! Wish more stations would do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMWriter Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) Dang you guys. xD Augh, this new news is making me really excited for the album. The release is only two months away. Is it time for me to finally have a RUSH-related avatar and sig for once? ^^; Maybe something... a little steampunk-ish. With wings. Metal feathers. Oooh, the possibilities.

It's really one of my favorites of theirs. It's just so musically complex in the bridge.. while being quite simple during the verses and the chorus.. The message is awesome, and the music is not too light and not too heavy. The guitar is prominent, and the drums are wonderful (obviously..) But I have a feeling the entire album will sound alot like Caravan.. just the style.. "I stoke the fires of the big steel wheel.." IF that's a lyric.. it sounds like the beginning of something totally epic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
