[JoenataArctica]

HOOOOLLLLYYYY COW!!!!! So glad I stayed up late tonight!!!! Very intrigued with the track list, and that sample!!!! X-tremely aggressive!! SO FRIGGIN PUMPED!!!!!

[Draco]

Sounds pretty clean to me.

[CrossedSignals]

Gahhh this is the first new Rush we've heard in years!!!!! Holy cowwwwwwwwwwwwww I can hardly contain my excitement I'm like a giddy schoolgirl

[Sin City]

Sounds a bit like parts of Fear of a Blank Planet by Porcupine Tree. Could be a good thing!

[Snaked]

BU2B2 - hmmmmm

I'm going to guess it's either an instrumental or a bridge between Headlong Flight and Wish Them Well.

Sonically, I thought there was a vague resemblance to PT's "Fear Of A Blank Planet".

Doh!! Missed your post before I did mine

...that is a real concept, isn't it? Not a suite plus single songs, as Rush did in the '70s... CA is a real suite... no doubt, in my opinion, they're going to play live the whole thing

[CrossedSignals]

I wonder how the song "Carnies" fits in....

 

Does the Watchmaker stop in at Adventureland?

Rush will return this summer with "Clockwork Angels," the iconic prog-rock band revealed on Wednesday. The new album, due June 12, will be the trio's first studio effort since 2007's "Snakes & Arrows" and their debut for Anthem/Roadrunner Records.

 

For the new set, the band turned again to "Snakes & Arrows" co-producer Nick Raskulinecz and recorded in Nashville and Toronto. The conceptual set will trace a protagonist's journey through a world of steampunk, alchemy and an exotic carnival; drummer and lyricist Neil Peart is also penning a novelization of the album with prolific author Kevin J. Anderson.

Carnies? There's been a song out there for two years called Caravan...

[GeddyRulz]

I'm thinking the last several notes, that Final Flourish, got tacked onto the clip from the END of the song.

[analog guy]

That does sound a lot like Bastille Day.

 

Not complaining.

[Alchemical]

HOLY SHITE IT SOUNDS AMAZING!

 

But.. June 12th? Ugh, two more weeks of waiting.

 

Not digging the album art either...

[Snaked]

Amazon.com has updated the release date to June 12th and is now taking pre-orders.

it's neverending mate

[eshine]

YES! Diggin the sound of this - and can totally live with that as the cover. I like the simplicity.

 

And that tracklist!!

 

It certainly reads like a cool collection of Rush songs - we shall find out soon enough

[Alexmai]

I see the cover as a menacing entity... the clock that enslave our lives... all the other images are good for songs, but the cover need a menace, as 2112... and the clock pointing at 21:12 is a tongue-in-cheek

[lifeson90]

preferred the sidewalk image to be honest much classier but the signals reference probably precluded it as main cover art, all you can say about the clock is bold, direct, striking and to the point...... cant say it completely blows my socks off but there's a clear singular message in there

 

like a headlong flight straight into a fiery furnace of hell or something

Seems like they should've put the clock at 20:12. But I don't care either way really...just want some good tunes.

[presto123]

I can't listen:( For some reason Adobe flash won't install on my computer right now. When I saw the track list and the BU2B2 and Headlong Flight tracks towards the end the first thing I thought is........son of a gun.......they made the whole record a concept. Edited April 11, 2012 by presto123

[Hatchetaxe&saw]

Very cool indeed.
