FountainOfSyrinx Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 QUOTE (treeduck @ Jun 1 2012, 01:40 PM) I'm not sure which is my favourite but "Wish them Well" was a lot better than I expected after being dissed in a couple of the reviews...

circumstantial tree Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Okay, it was hard to narrow it down, but I think I can honestly say that the beginning to the title track "Clockwork Angels" is my fave. After listening again since last night, I get the requisite goosebumps when I like something. I truly LOVE the singing and then that echoey guitar effect that follows - that's when I feel like I'm having an epiphany. It's the closest to the Rush sound in my opinion.

ShlappinDahBass Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I was completely torn between The Anarchist and Seven Cities Of Gold. But Seven Cities was top notch for me. The bass is absolutely killer in the intro. I can't wait to hear what that sounds like live! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shreddy Lee Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Seven Cities of Gold, hands down the best one to me. I can't stop playing it. A killer funky bass riff is about the best I could have asked for. I don't get how people are coming up with all this stuff about the title track out of the blue, when it was probably the clip that gave us the least amount of actual substance of what the song will be, I'd say nearly none. It was purely intro, unlike some of the others where we at least heard a riff that would continue throughout the song. Yet people are coming up with all sorts of things that they think this clip tells them about the song.. it really seems like people are just making up whatever they want it to be. We still don't really know what that one sounds like at all yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchemingDemon Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Seven Cities, easily. I wish I could have seen my own expression when I first played the clip. It was a mix of O_O and But really they all sound very promising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Avatar Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I went with the title track, because of what it portends for the future...once we have the entire song in our hands. It just sounds like it's going to be epic. I, too, love the fact that the choices are so spread out. Probably means we'll have plenty of great tracks to choose from. It also means that I'll have "new" favorites as time goes on, like was the case with past Rush albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangster of Goats Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 QUOTE (They Bow Defeated @ Jun 1 2012, 02:15 PM) In the end, I do think the title track is going to be the standout. Are you guys hearing this as a fast 12/8 goove, based on Neil's pattern and the guitar pattern at the end of the clip? If so, I think CA will be along the lines of Pink Floyd's One of These Days, which is going to be epic. YES! That clip is the teasiest-of-all to me. Neil and Alex are winding up and it cuts out RIGHT when it sounds like it's about to start really taking off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) I voted The Garden just because of that amazingly haunting first 22 seconds. Like I said before sounds like something off an Iron Maiden record. Can't believe no one has voted for BU2B. That new atmospheric beginning will just add to what was already a great song to start with. Also I don't find Wish Them Well to be a dud at all based on this short clip. Sounds promising actually. Choosing between these clips is like asking somebody who their favorite child is. Impossible. Edited June 2, 2012 by presto123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 QUOTE (Godeater2112 @ Jun 1 2012, 01:29 PM) Finally a worthwhile poll! I am super torn between "Clockwork Angels", "Carnies" and "The Garden", need to listen again before I can decide. I instantly thought the same thing... Thankfully, a worthwhile poll. Title track, all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak for others, but for me, the last 5 seconds of the clip are an incredible transition.... the anticipation of where the song appears to be going is the reason I voted for Clockwork Angels.

rushlady23 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 QUOTE (Storm Shadow @ Jun 1 2012, 02:49 PM) Love the guitar on Carnies, but that Seven Cities of Gold clip is boner city. This, although no boner for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReflectedLight Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 seven cities will be getting alot of youtube bass covers. not crazy about wish them well. possible filler there but will have to hear the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacklifeson Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Seven Cities sounds killer. Kind of reminds me of the middle section of "Speed of Love" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 of the 7 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I concur with Seven Cities - that funky sound is new for them, and I want to see where they take it. BU2B2 has such a foreboding sound that it comes in a close second, and the synth in CA and the strings and acoustic wistfulness of The Garden make me want more.

rocket ignites Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Seriously hard to pick. I went with the underdog "Wish the Well" because I'm craving some killer melodic Rush to mix with the heavy 3 songs released. 7 cities and the title track intrique me...hell, this whole album does...of course.

trenken Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) Wish I could change my vote to Wreckers. It was the only one with vocal melodies that were actually pleasing to me. The rest sound like they were slapped together on the fly and not actually slaved over. Wreckers has a good vocal melody something Geddy has not been very good at for a long time now so yeah, my vote goes to that easily. I think I originally voted for the title track due to the cool intro, but that changed when I heard 30 secs of the actual song which I hated.
