Drummerrobin Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 So which is it to be so far? For me, it's a close call between Caravan and Headlong Flight with Caravan edging ahead slightly. What d'you all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCFIELDS Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Probably BU2B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeson90 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 (edited) well first of all, all three tracks make me really optimistic for CA S&A was the first rush album that ever made me slightly disappointed but i dont think CA will do the same on this evidence however...... simple question: do any of these tracks rate alongside far cry? i mean looking back we can all see just how darn great far cry was now, i mean its up there with spirit of radio as a rush classic imo the only track that compares with far cry in sheer quality is bu2b caravan and headlong flight are really interesting rush jams i luv em both but truly great rush song classics they are not Edited April 22, 2012 by lifeson90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReflectedLight Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 not even close. headlong flight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingInPrimetime Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 BU2B for me. Caravan a close second. And then Headlong Flight way behind. I like HF, but as with BU2B and Caravan, I think it will take many more listens to get the big picture and fully appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 It's ALL metal, none of that pseudo reggae stuff and Alex is no longer trying to sound like The Edge and Andy Summers... And now a quick Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross impersonation: "f**k YOU, that's the best track on CLockwork Angels... What am I talking about...??

presto123 Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Where is the option for three way tie? I think all three are great and I would have a hard time picking one but I will go with HF because of the stellar musicianship and classic guitar solo.

Presto-digitation Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 BU2B slightly. Really like them all so far, though. They all offer pretty different dynamics too, all while being heavy...which I enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielmclark Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I'm glad to see the poll is so close between all three choices. That bodes very well for the album as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Headlong Flight. I love them all but that one is slightly better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenken Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Easily BU2B, followed by Caravan and then HF a distant 3rd. I like the hard egde of BU2B and it actually sounds like it was written with singing in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCFIELDS Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Being that HF is the newest, not suprised to see it in front.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 HF easily. BU2B is a very distant third... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirteen Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 BU2B. The change from the main verse riff to the chorus melody is brilliant. Having said that I don't think the songs match the overall greatness of Far Cry - that song kicks major ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singring Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Headlong flight kicks ass! Jonesing for the next one. Can't wait for June 12th to get here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Even though Headlong Flight is Heavier and rocks harder, I still feel Caravan is a better crafted song with more meaningful lyrics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionDetector Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 All awesome songs! Loving the fact that they are 3 for 3 with me so far! 1. BU2B 2. Headlong Flight 3. Caravan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Sawyer Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Caravan, although HF is very close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silas Lang Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 They're all awesome, classic Rush and significantly more satisfying than Far Cry. I honestly can't pick a favorite among them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossedSignals Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Caravan, but BU2B is close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossedSignals Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Actually, some days I like BU2B better.... I can't decide! Headlong Flight is cool too, it just doesn't stick with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 It's pretty close in the poll at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
