SchemingDemon Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 92 User(s) are reading this topic (48 Guests and 2 Anonymous Users) This album sounds like it has such an eerie atmosphere.. I like it. Especially the new intro to BU2B. Geddy's church-choir-like vocals at the beginning of Clockwork Angels is so creepy, it gave me goosebumps. I cannot wait to see the direction this song is heading. Ged's bass overall is POUNDING! Carnies is METAL! I like the nice acoustic intro to Halo Effect Seven Cities of Gold OH MY GOD! FUNKY! The Wreckers kind of sounds like something that belongs on T4E, nothing wrong with that though. It actually reminds me of The Color of Right BU2B2 has vocals?? Wasn't expecting that Wish Them Well sounds fun. I like the Geddy wail in the background, though I hope that's not a repeating theme (helloooo VT!) I already love the vocals in The Garden! I am really looking forward to Clockwork Angels, Carnies, and Seven Cities of Gold 12 days!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
They Bow Defeated Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 QUOTE (presto123 @ May 31 2012, 06:22 PM) I'm hoping it's my fav since Power Windows. Very doubtful it will top that record or GUP or Signals for me. That's what I'm thinking as well. I've been kind of expecting another Counterparts-level effort (my best since HYF), but I think CA may just top CP. We'll see if it beats HYF, but it's unlikely to top PoW.

SchemingDemon Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Also, I'm pleased with the addition of strings. Sounds quite nice overall so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushgoober Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 The songs sound so atmospheric (at least the beginnings/bridges from previous songs) that unfortunately it's hard to hear most of the songs when they really get going, but what can be heard sounds very cool. Too bad they couldn't have chosen 30 second clips from the MIDDLES of the songs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangster of Goats Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 QUOTE (An Enemy Without @ May 31 2012, 06:41 PM) QUOTE (Bangster of Goats @ May 31 2012, 06:38 PM) Man, these really are teasers! I mean, the title track clip stops right when it's about to smack you in the head with a sledgehammer, argh! And it does sound a bit Floydian, at least that bit. One thing I'm really liking is the return of Geddy's bass. For too long it seemed like it was buried under an orchestra of guitars. It's coming through loud and clear now!

trenken Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 The title track is the main one that strikes me as original sounding, although many bands have done that sort of eastern style intro like Soothsayer from Mars Volta, Home from Dream Theater and Forever May Not Be Long Enough from Live. Some of the rest sound like regular rock songs to me, like with that guitar riff from Anarchist. Doesnt sound like anything too different than Nocturne. This is just going on short clips though so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
