The takeaway for me that each song stands alone. Meaning we won't have to have 5 song trek on the upcoming setlist. These can be sprinkled in as needed. And perhaps leave some for the R40 Tour.

These can be sprinkled in as needed. And perhaps leave some for the R40 Tour. I still think they'll play a large number of CA songs in a row, probably to start off the second set. Basically their favorite tracks in the same order as on the album, like when they play 2112 but skip Presentation and Oracle. I wasn't a big fan of this approach on the S&A tour, but it might work better with CA as the songs sound like they're mostly higher energy.

Use normal people talk!! His editor said it was 10/10, I didn't get that impression at all from the actual text. I think probably his editor couldn't understand it either and just guessed.

Majestyk Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 QUOTE God, what awful writing. 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. Kind of late to this, but no kidding. I couldn't understand anything he wrote in the first two paragraphs...Which is where I stopped. QUOTE ...Clockwork Angels being a complicated, oblique, angled tale involving less steampunk than rumour had it and much more about the march of time, all wrapped up in the meaninglessness for the non-believer, except for some sort of inner temple-building, or a garden as it were, Candide-style. ?????

ColdFireYYZ Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I couldn't get through the review but if this really does sound like Wetton-era King Crimson meets Van Der Graaf Generator then it will be their best album since Signals.

I can predict the RS review. It will be the same lazy-ass bullshit as their Snakes & Arrows review: "3 stars. Add 2 if you like Rush. Subtract 2 if you don't."

Stormtron Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 "with further abstraction caused by demarcation into their necessary chapters, welcome, so that these hugely ambitious and exclusively dark songs can stand on their own as Rush songs, soon to be mouthed by crowds in the wrongness for this of hockey barns."
