Recommended Posts

In Order:

BU2B

Clockwork Angels

Caravan

The Anarchist

Headlong Flight

Carnies

The Garden

The above 7 are truly phenomenal and make CA one of Rush's all-time best.

 

The rest of the album:

 

Halo Effect

Wish them Well

Seven Cities of Gold

The Wreckers

 

The Wreckers is the only song I don't like, but I truly hate it LOL

This is hard. Really hard.

 

The Anarchist

Clockwork Angels

The Garden

Headlong Flight

The Wreckers

BU2B

Caravan

Carnies

7 Cities of Gold

 

These 9 songs are all just absolutely RIDICULOUSLY good! If I had to pick an order, this would have to be it, but the gap between any of these songs is microscoping.

 

Wish Them Well

Halo Effect

 

That being said, the last 2 songs are still miles beyond what Rush has done in the last 3 albums by far! Wish Them Well just has that killer groove to it (Test for Echo done right?) and Halo Effect is my favorite song when I'm in the mood for something a bit lighter, the solo on that one is one of my top 5 moments on the album.

 

I didn't put BU2B2 on here cause its not really a song. A nice transitional piece that is essential if you're listening straight through the album, but not if you're skipping around.

 

If you can't tell, I LOVE THIS ALBUM.

Ok, I'll play along:

 

 

The Anarchist

The Garden

 

 

Clockwork Angels

Headlong Flight

BU2B/BU2B2

Halo Effect

Caravan

The Wreckers

Carnies

Wish Them Well

Seven Cities of Gold

 

I REALLY love The Anarchist and The Garden...the rest of the album can come and go as far as I'm concerned... I liked the live versions of Clockwork Angels and Headlong Flight, though.

I was Gonna make a full list.....But I realized after Halo effect it now drops off for me. I like half the record. it is now 36 mins long.....fine by me.

Not that it matters any but, this still stands. Only like half the album.

Funny, you guys are still ranking BU2B in there. It doesn't count

 

1. BU2B2

2. Clockwork Angels

3. Caravan

4. Headlong Flight

5. The Anarchist

6. The Garden

7. Wish them Well

8. Carnies

9. Halo Effect

10. Seven Cities of Gold

11. The Wreckers

 

 

As time passes, I still consider this album a masterpiece. No doubt, the newness of it has passed and it's still an album I never get tired of so calling it a classic in the early stages was not an exaggeration.

 

The first 4 songs are right there with anything they've ever done and BU2B and Clockwork Angels are 2 songs that are in the Rush Hall of Fame

 

The song that has moved up for me quite a bit is Wish them Well. I really love the break and the "Grudges you've held for so long" harmony. Definitely loving this song even more. The Wreckers is 062802puke_prv.gif

But all of these are in the top half of all Rush songs, with the exception of BU2B2. Still a great album after all these months.

VERY late to the party. I think it would be cool for someone to go through all of these posts and calculate all of the rankings - similar to how the College Football AP rankings are compiled. Anyway - here's mine:

 

1. Headlong Flight (A+)

2. The Anarchist (A+)

3. Seven Cities of Gold (A)

4. BU2B (A - the original version that is - the new intro REALLY stinks - I'd rate it about a C+ - fortunately, edited out the intro with Goldwave)

5. Carnies (A)

6. The Garden (A)

7. Halo Effect (A)

8. The Wreckers (A-)

9. Clockwork Angels (A-)

10. Caravan (B )

11. Wish Them Well (B-)

12. BU2B2 (D- The only dog on the whole album. It didn't make the transition to iPod)

 

I also think this is the best one since Moving Pictures

I love Halo Effect.

 

I love every track. But if I had to rank them....that is the way they fall for me.

I'm there with ya...only blemish IMO is Geddy's backing vocal on WTW...makes my face do crazy stuff.
