Well, I was so excited to find these, that I posted it at Counterparts and emailed Ed at RIAB, too. So, um . . . sorry, I couldn't contain myself. I mean, I wasn't rubbing the clips on my genitals like, ahem, some others around here or anything. Yup, RIAB has it now. I should have grabbed a screenshot, but they didn't have it when I checked.

J2112YYZ Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 You guys must have a better musical ear than me because I can never tell much from 30 second clips. I'm not sure how some of you are hearing so much with these short samples? The biggest thing I took away from the clips was how good the riff to Carnies sounds. Other than that I can't say anything until I hear the full songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yokkov Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Anyone else notice how high Geddy's voice gets near the end of the Wish Them Well clip? Anyway, I love all of these!

FeelingUnlimited Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Surprised no one has mentioned Geddy channeling Sting vocally on the title track. Very nice vocal in a style he hasn't done before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They Bow Defeated Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 QUOTE (RushBowler2112 @ May 31 2012, 06:01 PM)I almost hear some Working at Perfekt on the Wreckers. Nice! Listening to the clips again, I think The Wreckers may have me the most excited. Somehow it reminds me, in a good way , of late 80's Rush or maybe it is Ged's album that I'm thinking of. Anyway, great melody, vocal, lyrics, and upbeat vibe. But, interestingly, I think this is the track that takes a dark or dramatic turn, where they bring in the Taurus pedals (from Alex's interview). Presumably this is when there's a shipwreck or the Wreckers attack the hero's steamship (?) as he heads out to sea. I think this was illustrated in one of the leaked Hugh Syme paintings. Anyway, I can't wait to hear the full track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Wow! That was a wonderful and frustrating experience. Many of the songs sound different.... different is good! Anyway, very promising - the production sounds REALLY COOL - it's a bit frustrating not hearing much lyrically yet. The only thing I immediately didn't care for was what I head with BU2B2 - not crazy about the singing or the lyrics (even though much of it was hard to discern) - otherwise, VERY promising!
