treeduck Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 This guy rambles on about the lyrics too much, but one music quote stood out... "...heavy metal drone, a hot mess of it..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadoood Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Here's some not so glowing bits of his review of Roll the Bones.. Rush's lot in life continues to baffle, as I'm increasingly convinced that with each successive dismal, offensive release, the bands continuing and ever widening acceptance by virtually everybody must amount to no less than a conspiracy of mass mindlessness..  Rush's latest is again, as countless times before , no cause for rejoice, as the serious ones continue unabated with their powerless fret diddling , their tinkly, popping percussive ballet... One of the biggest, failed , and mercilessly played out experiments in modern rock, Lifeson swishes ever on, chiming and washing his way into the books of fretful impotence...

Put away your flowery adjectives, pretentious sentence structures, and baffling cultural references. Just tell us something of substance about the album, instead of wasting our time with this junk. Â That's how I felt. It's not entertaining. It's annoying. It made it a chore to read that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Was it a review of CA, or an exercise in use of "fancy" language ? I admit that I'm no expert in literature, or the use of the English language, but I had to re-read several parts of that review, and it left me feeling slightly dizzy. Perhaps that's what CA will do when we hear it, and maybe the author of the review was trying to put that across. Or maybe he was just showing off.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trenken Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Im VERY glad he hears some Death Magentic in this. I really like that album. The instant I heard that heavy riff in BU2B, the first thing I thought of was Death Magnetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemispheresserehpsimeH Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Honestly, one of the worst reviews I've ever read about music. I read the introductory paragraph that said it was a glowing review and was getting ready for some good tidbits about the album... ...then I read it. I'm glad I'm not the only one who found this to be insanely out there. It's pretty much unreadable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush-O-Matic Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I'm pretty sure I saw Telecaster Chank open for Blue Oyster Cult in 1981. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
