snowdogged Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Are good reviews for a Rush album a good thing? All of their best albums had bad reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They Bow Defeated Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (Gedneil Alpeart @ May 10 2012, 05:36 PM) Some people have already made up their mind NOT to like the new album, even if they will like it .... I can just see one of THOSE Rush fans after hearing CA and secretly liking it " Must resist.....must not like.....NO....it's new Rush.....I will NOT like this!" Yup! Some have built their whole online persona here on TRF or CP (many more on CP) around hating new Rush. Assuming (for the halibut) that CA does turn out to be a really strong album, it will be interesting to see if any minds are changed. I'm betting that many of these folks will still find SOMETHING to dislike about CA, no matter what.

I'm betting that many of these folks will still find SOMETHING to dislike about CA, no matter what. I can't speak for anyone else, but I don't dislike any Rush song or album to try to maintain some kind of persona or reputation - that would just be stupid. I can't imagine there are many people here, if any, who truly are so biased that they automatically won't like something because they're just that prejudiced. I think most people who aren't big fans of their new music would LOVE to be surprised and find something they truly love that's new by Rush, and I think they listen with more of an open mind than you might think. To truly think people are like that seems to be trying to stereotype and confine people in a certain category that's probably unfair. People are much more complex than what they might portray on a message board. Like I've always said, I want to love every song and every album, and I listen with an open mind each time. I would much rather be wrong about my skepticism and love something than be right and not like something. Even though in general I'm not a big fan of post-1987 Rush, I loved CP and much of S&A - I will always give credit where I feel credit is due.
