Gedneil Alpeart Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 These guys follow the high road....always. And the review of CA is quite promising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 "there's a tangible warmth to the exuberant Wish Them Well, the album's most uplifting moment". This reviewer even likes supposedly the record's weakest track and calls it one of Rush's best records. This wait is getting harder and harder:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Every review so far has been glowing. Are we ever going to see a review that is mediocre? This has to be a good sign doesn't it? Some of SnA reviews were good but nothing like this. Trying to keep my expectations in check but it's hard with all these stellar reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure we'll see plenty of extremely negative ones at some point though by fans. I'll bet the core of bitter old fans at Counterparts has been preparing a catalog of descriptive phrases to portray CA as the worst thing to happen to the planet since the K-T Event.

Hater, troll, and Brit reviews don't count. I'm talking about media reviews. Have yet to see an official media review yet that has hardly anything bad to say about the record. I'm actually starting to believe this could be a top 4 or 5 record for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadlongMark Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 If I'm in tears during The Garden like those in the studio while recording the strings, I will know it's one of their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanadoo Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 "They admit the live shows might be stripped back at some point as the long tours are finally taking their toll, but, in Alex's words, they're going to make records until they die." Well that just about brought a tear to my eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that just about brought a tear to my eye. No kidding...that was by far the key line in the whole thing. It sounds like they pretty much plan to continue recording...which is f'n fantastic!

Unobtrusive Companion Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 What a fantastic article. I never knew the boys had a photoshoot with Andrew McNaughtan the day before he died. That's so sad, maybe the pics we've seen of them on the sofa were taken on that day. Imagine how they must feel every time they see one of those pictures On a lighter note, this pretty much confirms my hope that Rush have no intention of stopping. Making albums until they die? Yes please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losingit2k Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) Great Article, One of the best! You can really get a feel for what RUSH is all about from this one! However, Yet another great review! It can't be that good, can it? TOP 5, really? Hemispheres, Moving Pictures, Permanent Waves, A Farewell to Kings, and Clockwork Angels?
