snowdog2112 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I'm going through comments from the immediate release of BU2B and Caravan. See how many of these you guys agree with. ... It's hard, it's fresh. They're pretty hard hitting. They're pretty musically ambitious. One of the songs is longer... kind of a cross between Far Cry and Monkey Business. Another one is just the shorter kind of super energy song. ... - Geddy And these are all from individual fans on RIAB hearing them for the first time the night of release: OMFG Caravan is HEAVY! Caravan is heavy. Counterparts-ish. BU2B is definitely a step into the past. Caravan sounds like 'Stick it out' part 2 WOW BU2B is AWESOME!! Heavy, dark, the intro sounds a bit like Soundgarden, Black Label Society, Rob Zombie, etc. "BU2B" sounds very "GUP" or "PW" like to me. Good to hear the keyboards back!!! For some reason,BU2B reminds me of The Way The Wind Blow..Probably because of alex's Guitar parts. BU2B must be the heaviest song ever recorded by Rush. It is along the same lines as Necromancer and the rest of Caress of Steel's heaviest parts. Caravan really reminds me a lot of the S&A stuff. BU2B is favorite headache Runaway Train PT. 2. I though Caravan sounded a bit Presto-ish in terms of the synth. Parts of "BU2B" reminds me of "Half the World." B2UB sounds like a heavy Ozzy/Zakk Wylde tune. Don't a whole lot of those make you go Those are other Rush fans describing new Rush songs for the first time. I suggest everybody chill a little bit until you hear it yourself. I'm in no way saying not to be excited or that I expect CA to be anything less than great, but the people here getting all excited about hearing "Bytor part 2" or "80-91 Rush in a blender" are probably going to be frustrated beyond belief that they created something in their mind that's pure fantasy.

I don't expect it to sound like an 80's record but just the fact that it might have a lot of keys is enough for me to get excited. Keys mixed with a hard edge is what I've been wanting.(and more prog like which Caravan already is) Counterparts was kind of close but the keys weren't prominent enough.

Presto-a RUSH fan! Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Not sure if this has been posted in one of the other 18 Headlong Flight threads, but I picked this one because it had the most posts. There was a new update on RIAB at 8:51pm tonight. Not much info, but new ambiguous info none the less: http://www.rushisaband.com/blog/2012/03/28...-title-revealed UPDATE - 3/28@8:51PM: There's a lot of conflicting information out there regarding when the single will get released, and I'm trying to sort it all out. In this day and age, a release can mean many things - which just adds to the confusion. We might get a short 30-second or 90-second clip, or it may be released for listening online, or it may get an early release on satellite radio, or it gets released to radio in general, or it gets release for purchase... you get the picture. Suffice it to say that we should get a chance to finally hear Headlong Flight sometime in the next few weeks - the sooner the better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReflectedLight Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 as long as the keyboards don't sound forced i'm cool with it. just hope nick wasn't in their faces all the time telling to play keyboards here and there etc.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, I think I basically want the same thing you do but my only point was that the descriptions we've heard today don't really tell us anything. Just in those few comments I posted from various Rush fans BU2B was described as sounding like GUP and PW, The Way the Wind Blows, Half the World, Rob Zombie, Soundgarden, The Necromancer, Runaway Train, and Ozzy. So when I hear the new song "feels like Bytor" you have to put it in that context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

presto123 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Yeah.... no way do I think this will be a keyboard dominated record but just to have them back for texture and atmosphere is a good thing IMO.(I hope the source that said keys are back is not BS?) Supposedly it was someone who was at the listening party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that sounds like a stellar album to me. P/G kind of had an edge to it on quite a few of its tracks. Blend synths in with the more modern sound of CP and... Ooohh, the possibilities!

Oracle Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 So was the listening party for the whole album or just "Headlong Flight"? Either way, this sounds cool as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, this sounds cool as hell. I'm still waiting on confirmation that the listening party for the full record went off. Supposedly it did but we will see. The way I understand it Roadrunner reps went around to a few radio guys(I guess who weren't invited to the party...lol) and played them the new single but wouldn't let them have an actual copy of it. Roadrunner is being very careful with this. Does that mean they think they are sitting on a goldmine or just trying to create a pre-release buzz before the single hits.
