Todem Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) Front to back like I always do. I still love Caravan and BU2B. And for the record those 2 songs are better than Headlong Flight which is also a killer jam. Edited April 20, 2012 by Todem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushman14 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 from beginning to end because of this quote from Alex: All of our records are thematic, but this one is a little more of an old-fashioned concept album in the tradition of 2112 and Hemispheres. We just recorded a string section yesterday for five of the songs-we still have to sit down and see what we'll use from that, but it sounded fantastic. Rush hasn't used strings in a while, and it's really added a lot of emotional impact to the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vprtrls Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I will press play as Rush intended it to be. I am totally geeked for this LP. Geddy's singing on HF is otherworldly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I'm looking forward to hearing Caravan and BU2B in their proper context, plus they're bound to have been re-recorded and be better than my CD-R version... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
