gedfan Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 as a longtime fan, i'd really like to think highly of CA...S&A was kind of a let down for me...of course, the downside to a well-received CA is that it could seal the band to a seinfeld-like fate: going out while you're on top. i mean, if the album and the tour are very successful and well-liked, why risk making a "final" album that is a let down? maybe no album after CA and just and R40/goodbye tour?

presto123 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Just please no jazzy, bluesy, or folk tunes on this record PLEASE. Time to kick a** and take names with this one. SnA had far too many slow tempos and straight ahead arrangements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FountainOfSyrinx Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 They may get old, but you don't lose your musicianship through a few years. SnA was fantastic.. musically at least, and lyrically just as good. People have their doubts. But I think it'll be incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas7 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I've got it, Rush are going to release Clockwork Angels individually mixed and produced according to which Rush album is your favourite. So you can have the Debut album version,Fly by Night version,Caress of Steel version........I think you get my drift. That way they will make all Rush fans happy.

I sure as hell hope they give a bulk discount then. I'd need the Hemispheres, MP, P/g!, PoW, HYF, CP and S&A versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeson90 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) based on caravan and bu2b in particular i think there's reason for hope that CA could be what VT was to T4E and or what CP was to RTB............. there's a big big chance this could be an epic album Edited April 6, 2012 by lifeson90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 QUOTE (GeminiRising79 @ Apr 6 2012, 08:28 AM) I can't recall one popular rock group who's been able to release a "twilight"album that hasn't been the embodiment of crap. From what I've heard thus far, despite my criticisms, my excitement is, surprisingly, becoming aroused. Can this be the album I've been pineing for, for over a decade? Anyone else, critics especially, experiencing positive intuition here? Van Halen has released a pretty awesome twilight record, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gedneil Alpeart Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 It's all subjective. Some people think Presto and COS are the greatest things invented since the wheel. Seriously. Some people think Rush died after Moving Puctures. It's all about taste and expectations. Im just thankful these guys are still rolling. Nobody's opinion should be slammed, just try not to be too one sided in your views.....negative or positive....it takes away your credibility. Good luck to all for CA! Hope it ends up high In your esteem and only affirms and validates your love and respect for the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB Connector Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I'll assume you're being serious for once. So I'm going to say maybe. I loved Caravan/BU2B, but the descriptions of the album we're getting from the critics are less than promising to me. I'm excited for the album, but my expectations aren't too high.

Presto-digitation Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) No fights. But I reckon I've been paying a bit more attention to VH fan reaction than the person who heard the first single and didn't like it too, so... I agree with the OP, however, that it's not common that bands do some great, great work in their 11th hour. But it does happen. Of course that's also a matter of opinion too. I loved Snakes & Arrows where some others haven't too. Thank God nothing is fool-proof or universal. Like everyone else, I subscribe to what I like and if no one else gets it, that's their problem. My version of "Yeah, they did it!!" is someone else's "are you kidding me?"...and vice versa. Edited April 6, 2012 by Presto-digitation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not the worst either. I'm down with that. I like both tunes. I'm more into their Prince tune (BU2CU2-Nite..wha, wha?) than Caravan, but the latter grew on me a lot.

Now Clockwork Angels is going to prove that the are still the masters of Prog Metal! Edited April 7, 2012 by losingit2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO. You'll just invent another reason to slam it. Perceived-as-negative poster makes optimistic/positive post about Rush and is slammed for it. Guess I'd better not change, lol. I didn't slam you at all. I gave a valid and reasonable prediction of how you will react to the new album. The prediction was based on the countless number of negative, hostile, and even pathological posts you've made about Rush's music. Pathologic? What credentials do you hold to make that diagnosis?
