Is what I have been waiting for! Rush with an hard edge, and with keys! The 80ies with an hard edge!!!!! What shall I do now? How am I able to work until the releasedate and keep the butter on the table for my family? And how shall I be able to work for months after the release? I need to see an doctor, now!

Snowman Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 QUOTE (HemispheresserehpsimeH @ Mar 28 2012, 05:07 PM) I'm pretty pumped, but I don't like that it'll be edited. That's a whole two minute drop from the total length of it (apparently). I'm dying to hear it, but at the same time, I may just wait until the whole song is out there somewhere so I can hear it all. I think it is great! I will still have 1/3 of the song to digest when the album is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather it sound like 80's Rush with By-Tor's starts and stops. That's what Caravan sounds like, which I love. But a lot of people don't. Indeed, my thoughts exactly!

Steel Rat Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Sounds a bit over-dramatic. Let's rehash the obvious - Rush hit the peak of their incredible "flight" over two decades ago, and they've since landed gracefully into the less-memorable-but-passable end game of their career. 80's keyboards? Modern By-tor? While that might be true to an extent, how does that promise an excellent achievement? Of course those things would be great if executed perfectly, but everyone's probably figured out that the promises made by the people who kiss ass so much tend to fall flat. Regardless of the over-the-top salivation from the journalists, I know I'm going to love the new single and embrace it as an equal into the Rush family.

JohnnyBlaze Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I remember journalists not liking Signals and HYF but liking RTB and Counterparts. Just sayin'. I don't remember (or didn't pay attention to) what they said about other albums. It's natural to compare new work with previous material. But with Rush I can pretty much count on their new stuff NOT sounding like their old stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presto-digitation Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Frankly I'm looking forward to the return of SOME degree of keyboards. I don't mean to the exclusion of Alex, but I think there's an acceptable middle ground between drowning Lifeson out or relegating his role to flourishes, colourings, and accents...and omitting keyboards altogether. There are now PLENTY of guitar-dominated Rush albums since to compliment the keyboards of the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gompers Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I hope it has more elements of Classic Prog like AFTK and Hemi combined with the great mix of S&A. And....I want a big return of the Moog and Taurus pedals! http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h113/stylazyn/gomps.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druid13 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I think the return of keyboards could be a good thing....The layers of Alex has gotten a little old and frankly too muddy. Keys could give depth along with some space that has not been there lately. This sounds interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenken Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Dont care what some random dude named CP heard about anything. Waiting to hear the album myself. Not going to let them get me so far pumped up again just to be hit with another S&A. Keeping my hopes low this way if its acually good it will exceed my expectations.
