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?

CrossedSignals Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 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. I never listen to those albums anymore at all I'm all about the 80s Rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowItIs Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I might do this. Really, I listen to all of their albums all the time but not usually in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never listen to those albums anymore at all I'm all about the 80s Rush 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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......    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilb1972 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionDetector Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012  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 ! 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.  May 25 - RUSH May 26 - Fly By Night May 27 - Caress of Steel May 28 - 2112 May 29 - A Farewell To Kings May 30 - Hemispheres May 31 - Permanent Waves June 1 - Moving Pictures June 2 - Signals June 3 - Grace Under Pressure June 4 - Power Windows June 5 - Hold Your Fire June 6 - Presto June 7 - Roll The Bones June 8 - Counterparts June 9 - Test For Echo June 10 - Vapor Trails June 11 - Snakes & Arrows June 12 - Clockwork Angels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexmai Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 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!

Alexmai Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) Edited May 17, 2012 by Animate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alchemical Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I'm all for doing this. Can't stand the debut album but I'll start listening to an album a day on the 25th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobtrusive Companion Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Sounds fun, I'll probably do the album-a-day thing from May 25th. Of course, if my copy of CA arrives a day early, then S&A will take a back seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
