The only thing we know for sure is that Caravan and BU2B aren't linked. That leaves literally everything else that you could fantasize about connections with. Maybe BU2B actually runs into the next four songs. Maybe the middle 5 are connected. Maybe the final six. Or a string of 7 starting with number 3. Is it really so important that a song be long? So important that you will ignore the truth in front of you and just make stuff up to fit your desires? When have they EVER written an epic-length song and listed it separately on the album, with separate running times and no indiction that they belong together? They've never done that. What makes you think they're going to start now? Ther're and with them anything can happen! Like a complete new direction after their most popular album MP. Like Returning to prog Metal after 30 sum years! Like switching instruments for a song.Like recording with a symphony, Like performing all of MP after 30 years, Like recording an entire concept album in the twilight of their career....Do I really need to go on? If there anything I know about is that they're unpredictable! So you can sit back and believe you know everything about them when you really don't know Squat!   I will send you $20 via PayPal if I'm wrong about this. If you're right, and the last four tracks adding up to 21:12 make up a single epic song (a la Natural Science), I will give you $20. That's how confident I am in what I know about this band.   After 40 years, they are not unpredictable. They're not a paint-by-numbers band, but the broad strokes are pretty obvious. Such passion at defending a minority viewpoint.   Less than 27% of those polled here agree with you, but no, you have to set us all straight.   Unbelievable. Less than 27% of people here have a rational thought in their head about this apparently. The remainder are all about wishful thinking.   If poll numbers always indicated who was right and who was wrong, the world would be a vastly different place.   I stand by my statements. We'll find out in a few weeks just how right the majority is in this case.

Noone knows for sure what's up with this album excpet those who have created it. So if speculation is all we have, then I'm allowing my imagination to run with it!

I'm thinking maybe 2 or 3 songs might flow into each other giving us an epic.

 

But, I'm still hoping for that 20 minute extended polka song they've been teasing us, on the TM tour

Oh heaven forbid another polka song, Even though the La Villa intro had grown on me after watching it four times on TMMT!

One thing's for sure, if they ever did a 20 minute epic polka, it would be the BEST POLKA SONG EVER!!!

Why make it twenty? I think that's just wishful thinking. You should just start thinking rationally and realize that Rush would never do that. In fact, I will just PayPal you $100 bucks if they ever record a Polka song! At least I have 27% of this board to back me up!
