I read a recent-ish interview with Alex online where he said they were probably going to re-record Caravan and BU2B. that would be great if they made some major changes to both songs but i don't see anything big happening.

I think they will rerecord Caravan and BU2B but the composition will remain the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 What you've got to remember is there's no keyboard player in RUSH, just a couple of dabblers, one of which doesn't even like keyboards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trenken Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I cant even get into the damn name. It sounds to stupid to me. Headlong Flight? I'm sure I need to get some music attached to it and maybe then it will start sounding normal, but man I wish they would just do everything at once. Dont tell me the name before the single is released. Then I start over analyzing even just the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please explain something to me. What about Rush, as they exist today, do you actually like? So far from reading your posts you think they write crappy music, hate their fans, and now you think they are spinelessly subserviant to their producer..

Dont tell me the name before the single is released. Then I start over analyzing even just the name. I thought Caravan was a strange song title initially too. All I could think of was Dodge Caravan's. And let's not get started on BU2B which could've been some obscure chemical compound. Clockwork Angels is shaping up to be the weirdo song title album. Not to mention the weirdo album title itself. Edited March 29, 2012 by savagegrace26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I'm quoting Jon Anderson on what Vangelis said to Steve Howe when they were considering him to be the keyboardist for the "Relayer" album.

ColdFireYYZ Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I had a dream last night that I heard it. All I remember was the bass being punchy and standing out. Lets hope that's true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUP1771 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) Very exciting news. Still gonna sit back, wait, and not go overboard with expectations. But hearing the news that the keyboards return and there is a heavier edge is awesome! Oh, and I love the song title.

Presto-digitation Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Expectations are what you make of them. Glean from these types of comments something positive, not something MONUMENTAL. I think the comments coming out so far are interesting, but the person could be dead wrong about the quality. I gleaned from it "there are keyboards this go 'round." I can get behind that.

I gleaned from it "there are keyboards this go 'round." I can get behind that. Agreed. I mean, there are keyboards in Caravan and BU2B already. They are also really heavy songs. They also have really punchy bass and acrobatic drum parts. It just seems like people are able to get all excited about hearing these descriptions of the new unheard song and album overall but when these same desires are in songs that we already have a lot of these same fans are going "whatever" about them. When something is unknown and over the horizon it can meet any fantasy you have for it but when you hear it it's not going to sound that way. I doubt there'll be much in a descriptive sense that will be in Headlong Flight that's not already in those two songs from CA. "It's like an updated By-Tor" - What does that even mean? Are some of you people expecting the same notes in the same order or something? It's going to sound like songs we've never heard before and it might be awesome. But describing songs in words is not really useful other than concrete things like song lengths or whether it's an instrumental. Caravan already has everything most of you seem to be wishing for and yet a large number of people don't like it. What previous Rush song does it sound like? Nothing, it sounds like Caravan. And Headlong Flight won't sound like Bytor, either, it'll sound like Headlong Flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
