Glad someone got the Family Guy reference!

I can't believe my ears when hearing that gorgeous masterpiece even after listening to it about 400 time by now. Had to go with Caravan, could be my all time favorite Rush tune, no lie. It rocks, it's progressive, has a sick jam and solo, great melodies, keyboards, EVERYTHING I could ever want in one Rush song. I love Caravan too and am afraid the re-record will not be as good. Why are you afraid of that? Pretty sure they didnt rewrite the song, and I seriously doubt it will sound much different than the original version. because the original is perfect. You do understand they aren't rewriting the song, right? We're just about rerecording it here. It makes no difference since Im pretty sure it's the same 3 guys playing, and the same guys recording it.   People are weird sometimes.   I'm weird because I'm afraid it will sound different? the production on HF sounds different! For once can you stop being an argumentative troll? So its not just me that thinks Headlong Flight sounds different, and not for the better... Drums and bass sound way better on HF. To me overall HF sounds a little better than the original two singles. I know that Nick mixed this track and it makes me wonder if he did the whole record.

It's not VT production by any stretch.   edited to say Caravan sounds crisper.

easy. BU2B.

 

only track of the three in which the guys on fire in every way.

 

Caravan next, was really hopin for an improved album version although the version we got only just falls short.

[barchetta90480]

Headlong Flight, clearly - reinstalled my hope that CA might be a decent album after all.

Still, it will be the first Rush album since their first one on which I might regularly skip the first song.

You don't like Caravan I take it. Wow.

[Rush Cocky]

I like Caravan a little bit better than HF.

 

BU2B is a distant 3rd.

[LeaveMyThingAlone]

Sorry guys, I did do a search to see if this poll had been done and didn't see it while it was on the 1st page all along, dunno how I missed it.

Well, it is Trenken, so those who have been around for a while know what to expect.

[theredtamasrule]

Even though Caravan is awesome on all levels I'm wild about HF simply because Neil is killing it (like never before IMO) on this tune. That old man is pounding the drums like they've personally insulted him. Top notch performance by Mr. Magoo.

That be my thread http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?showtopic=73274

[Snyder80]

Headlong Flight. It's a crazy sick tune and while BU2B is a close second, I've got to go with HF. Truthfully, I believe that CA has potential to be a must have Rush album. So far, the music is amazing. At least in my opinion.

[Del_Duio]

Caravan, then HF, then BU2B.

[greg2112]

Headlong by a hair over Caravan, with BU2B a distant third.

[GernTheFish]

I really didn't like BU2B much at 1st either, but it's really grown on me. It rocks live and on the Time Machine DVD.

[Shredder2]

Here's my ranking so far:

 

1. Headlong Flight

2. Caravan

3. BU2B

 

It only gets me wondering on what will the ranking be for the album itself...

[Presto-digitation]

BU2B, Headlong, and Caravan...that order.
