3. Caravan

4. The Anarchist

5. Headlong Flight

OK, I have had this CD for 2 months now and it should be possible to take a stand....

 

 

1. The Wreckers - amazing and catchy melody, love the theme in the middle where it breaks down.

 

2. The Garden - this song is just plain beautiful, what an great way to end the album.

 

3. Clockwork Angels - awesomeness in its highest degree I.

 

4. Headlong Flight - awesomeness in its highest degree II.

 

5. BU2B - loved this song from the firsrt time I heard it. Still one of my favourites and are never skipped despite that I have listened to this song a thousand times.

 

6. The Anarchist - this song still grows, great but too short guitarsolo.

 

7. Caravan - love the opening riff/versem immensely cool!

 

7. Wish Them Well - cool song and crafty lyrics.

 

9. Seven Cities of Gold - love the 70s riff.

 

10. Carnies - Cool song, but I still have to appreciate it 100 %. It may be a grower I.

 

11. Halo Effect - Good song, but maybe the most boring song IMO. It may be a grower II.

 

12. BU2B2 - not really a song but it works in the context of the album.

 

 

All in all an 8 of 10 for me, I guess. Best since Counterparts. CA is my 11Th favourite Rush album (though, when I put away the classicness of 2112 it may even be the 10Th).

A little surprised that Wish them well is low on everyone's list. Fantastic lyrics with sarcasm and wit. I love the edge of many of the songs but as of right now that track is the one I cannot stop playing.

I'm not even going to count BU2B2 as it's not fair to rate it as a song. Personally I like it for what it is - a bridge in the storytelling - but again, it shouldn't be weighed against complete songs.

 

1) Clockwork Angels (a complete and utter masterpiece)

2) Headlong Flight (getting heavier with age? seriously...)

3) The Garden (what a beautifully crafted song)

4) The Wreckers (killer pop-rock tune)

5) The Anarchist (perfect blend of all musical eras)

6) Caravan (the song as a whole is pretty good, but the bridge/solo is phenomenal)

7) BU2B (the main riff is unbelievably awesome, but the song as a whole is more good than great for me)

8) Halo Effect (not as strong as The Garden, but I like it)

9) Seven Cities of Gold (love the opening, main riff & pre-chorus, but the verses and chorus are just okay for me)

10) Carnies (the bridge/outro makes this one for me; the rest is just alright)

11) Wish Them Well (a distant last for me; even the band admits it took many tries for them to get a version they were okay with, and maybe they should've just found another musical idea to tell this part of the story)
