I plan on listening to and reviewing 1 album a day starting on 5/24 which will put me on target for CA on 6/12.

Yay! I am not alone!

 

I started early because, well, what if the album leaks early? Or if there are a couple of days that have to be skipped for what ever reason?

I gotta admit, the prospect of sitting down and listening to Rush, Fly By Night, Caress Of Steel, and 2112 all in a row scared me away. laugh.gif I never listen to those albums anymore at all no.gif I'm all about the 80s Rush smile.gif

I might do this. Really, I listen to all of their albums all the time but not usually in order.

You can do it! Now, or at least between now and June 12, is the time and the place!

 

It is quite a marathon, but you do need to start early!

 

You can do a lot in (the next 3.5 weeks)

If you don't burn out too fast

You can make the most of the distance

First you need endurance

First you've got to last...

 

In order. All albums. All songs.

At least once it needs to be done! What better time then before the new album!

I don't want to be alarmist or anything.

 

Have you thought about the consaquences if CA does come out on June 9 in Germany....and is made accessible....

 

......and you still have to listen to VT, Feedback, and S&A......

Sounds fun! I think I can do this as well ... Sounds like a fun project this weekend, as my wife and I are planning on staying around the house this weekend, lounging around the pool ... We both love Rush so this could be an interesting opportunity. She knows most of their songs, but rarely do we sit and listen in order.

You beat me to it! I was actually planning on putting a thread out about this as well.

 

Back in 2007 when S&A was about to be released, a member here (I believe it was PuppetKing) brought up the idea of listening to one studio album each day in order...leading to the release date of S&A. So yes, I've been planning to do that again this year.

 

By my count, mine will start on Friday May 25 with 2.gif !

 

I don't really think I'll include Feedback or the live albums...just the studio records. It was a great experience last year...I just listen to nothing but the one studio record for the entire day. It's actually pretty cool...since the albums are all unique and different, getting to feel the vibe from when they started all the way to today. yes.gif

Rush debut is ending... Here again and Before & after are my favourite songs in it, the only ones that bring me on that Rush planet still to come. Could be good to listen these two live!

In the end, ending Fly by night... what a step!

The guitar intro to Making memories reminds me of a song written by an italian Rush fan in 1996, drummer for a rock band that was on the big wave that year... Bytor is always a trip... Anthem and In the end are my favourites, especially the latest in the ATWAS version...

In the End on ATWAS is my favorite version also! 1-2-buckle my shoe

 

Have you seen this 7 second In the End Geddy counts to 4? It cracks me up

 

 

Dont forget to include a running total in each thread!

 

So, in your COS post, include the following:

 

Rush 10

FBN 10

COS (# pts)

Sounds like a perfect weekend!

 

That might deserve "style points" for listening to multiple records in a row with out lengthy pauses in between!

I think I'm going Bald is the Passage to Bangkok of the CoS.

That may have been what they were trying for, but sadly the humor was not obvious at the time.

And by the pool, with a few drinks! Although we find sitting on the deck with some drinks is just as relaxing.

This guy knows what's good.

 

The idea of listening to "Rush" and The Necromancer the whole way through made me feel ill.
