eshine Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 While it is VERY tempting, I have not listened to a single clip (or even opened that thread) and have not read a single review or story about Clockwork Angels. All I know of the album are the three officially released tracks. When I pop that puppy in on the 12th, it will be the first time in well over a decade that I haven't kind of spoiled the experience for myself - and I gotta tell ya, for me, it's a hell of a lot more fun this way. Anyone else with me on this? - I should also note that I could give two sh*ts what the haters have to say this time around - and this is coming from someone who has engaged in quite a few heated debates in defense of vitriol thrown at the band on the other boards through the years. It just doesn't matter. At all. Rush are releasing a brand new concept album and going on tour in the year 2012. Celebrate the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 For those of us who've listened to the tracks, I don't think I've seen any complaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is pretty awesome and makes me even more excited for this album !! - and I'm not really talking about honest discussion but rather the plain meanspirited stuff designed to make fanbois like me get all in a tizzy LOL not this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Dudad Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Well, you are a stronger man than I. No way that I could stay away from the clips...and I'll be all over the inevitable 90 second snippets that will pop up on iTunes sometime between now and the 12th. I will, however, try to stay spoiler-free when it comes to the tour this fall. I'm seeing them in Chicago on 9/15, so will only need to hold out for a week.

Dylan2712 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 im in the same boat, kind of. i haven't listened to Headlong flight besides for the 20 second video clip last month -that was enough for me, i might have shit my pants if i listened to any more of it. i haven't heard any of the 30 second walmart clips either. i have read the reviews and the track run-down by Alex, though in my experience reading those types of things don't really ruin the first listening experience for me.

Sweet - I'll be at the Chicago show as well (I live there) but am also flying out to New Hampshire for opening night - which also happens to fall on mine and my Sisters birthday!

They Bow Defeated Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) I can learn to resist... anything but Walmart.com Rush clips. Actually, I'm getting very close to "lockdown" mode myself. I listened to the clips and don't think they gave away too much, so I'm just about done. As soon as CA is leaked, probably in the next few days, I'm going to avoid visiting TRF altogether. That's going to be TOUGH, but I really want to experience the full album on CD this time and not online. I'll by the CD locally and pre-order the vinyl this weekend. (Won't wait for the vinyl to listen, but I want to have it in hand that week.) I also want to take a break from TRF to evaluate CA without being discouraged by the tsunami of negativity that's about to be unleashed. Just like with every new album, DVD, setlist, etc. For any TRF newbies who haven't experienced this, be warned: it's coming. But I look forward to checking back in a few days later to find out how dissapointed Rushgoober is and how much Trenken and Tony R hate the album.

FountainOfSyrinx Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Well you guys can have fun waiting.. the rest of us will dive head first into anything that comes out.. I tried to do that with Coldplay, and I just flat out failed. So yep.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pause Rewind Replay Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I'm mostly with you. Although I've read reviews, I've avoided all clips and samples and will until I get the whole album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I've only heard the 3 songs. I've heard no clips and have read only part of one review. It'll be out next week anyway. No big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
