Godeater2112 Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 For the record, streaming audio can sound as good as they want it to be, including lossless. Any nerd manage to extract an mp3 from the site or just the swf file? I am just wondering what the bit rate is one this.

Cygnus The God Of Balance Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Regardless of the stream quality, I played the song on the radio this afternoon at 12:14PM EST. I think I was the first radio station in the world to play the whole song!!!

SlackJaw Gazer Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 The spoken part at 4:20 before the solo sounds something like this. The days were dark And the nights were bright Hey man, I would never trade Tomorrow for today Yeah

Molson Canadian, not sure about the undies, but it will give you the shits Forgive me, I am ESL, but I think the word for what I need is the "opposite" of what you said.
driventotheedge Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Pretty freakin' metal. The person who said "freight train" was quite accurate IMO. . . . . . Dear Ged, Neil & Al, Thanks guys. It's so cool seeing guys my age still kick total fu**ing ass.
KW84 Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 In the immortal words of Monty Python,I have this to say. My nipples explode with delight! I am so pumped for this album!! http://cdn.overclock.net/f/f2/f25c58c5_fry_shut_up_and_take_my_money.jpeg

When do you get to spin this up at your station? Hope things are groovy! I already did during lunch at 12:14. I was a bit scared because I was playing the stream and there were a couple of hiccups at the beginning.
GeddyRulz Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) Holy motherlovin' shit! One listen, and I'm in love. This album is going to ROCK!! Personally, sounds to me like the heaviest, most progressive thing Rush has done in thirty years. Don't understand the bitching about the compression, but then again, I'm no audiophile. I have earbuds plugged into the computer and it sounds awesome to me. Geddy's bass and vocals: ME LIKEY!! Edited April 18, 2012 by GeddyRulz
Drummerrobin Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) Verrry nice indeed!! This song really is Rush at they're most intense! To me it sounds like the sort of thing that the Vapor Trails album was aiming to be but never quite made. Sounds like they're hitting the nail on the head this time round though! Very excited about the new album now Edited April 18, 2012 by Drummerrobin
vital signz Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 I am liking it a lot, but wishing Alex had more than a 20 second solo. Geddy is really awesome with respect to tone and clarity of his bass notes. Neil is phenomenal as usual. So all in all, yeah, I got a nice boner to contend with before I go back to work. Lemme put on some Vapor Trails to bring this bad boy back down before I head back....
Silas Lang Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 QUOTE (danielmclark @ Apr 18 2012, 11:19 AM)QUOTE (rushgoober @ Apr 18 2012, 10:17 AM) As usual, the 30 second clip really doesn't say much about the song at all - I think we drool over these 30-second previews only because they're often all we have at first, but they remarkably say very little about an entire song. I was just thinking the same thing. It's not evocative of Bastille Day at all to me, and that's what everyone seemed to latch onto. I don't have expectations of any of the album sounding like early Rush like By-Tor or Bastille Day. Rush have always been about moving forward....in a 'Headlong Flight'!!
Khan Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 effin' rocks!!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/KublaKhan/bevbuttrock.gifhttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/KublaKhan/dig5.gif
Cygnus The God Of Balance Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Did anyone else notice the mistake on the stream player from RS? It said the record label is Atlantic Records! And I thought it was weird that it was not using the new graphics that we've seen for the single and the album.
Unobtrusive Companion Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Oh my God, this is brilliant!! Rush, as Rush should be. This is serious rock!! I love the groove on the "I stoke the fire of the big steel wheels" line, and that guitar solo! This is the three of them at their best, both individually and as a band. And to think there's more songs of a similar length to come, bring it on!!!!!

Yeah I let Jeremy @ RoadRunner know it's wrong label plus the Caravan graphics. He's looking into having it fixed.
