Presto-digitation Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) I know, it's its own thing, it sounds a bit like this one, that one, and entirely new things...and thank GOD for all of that. I get it. But play along and tell me, if asked by someone who'd avoided all things CA to this point, WHICH Rush record it most resembles in terms of writing style. Pick only one, even if you feel MANY historic reference points. Sounds most like: Edited June 5, 2012 by Presto-digitation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vital signz Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 It may sound cliche, but I can't pick off of the top of my head. It sounds like nothing they have ever done before. I will have to listen a few more times and revisit this thread.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vital signz Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Cannot believe I am saying this, because it is one of my least favorite albums of theirs, but I think I am going to have to go with Vapor Trails. It is similar with power and feel and sonic texture... Kind of like maybe what they were trying to do with Vapor Trails, but they got it right this time. I absolutely love Clockwork Angels. Definitely in my top 10 of Rush's catalog..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompers Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) I hear the power of CP but writing ideas similar to S&A and TFE. I hear moments of VT from the aggressive point. I do not hear anything from the old days, but I am reminded that if they recorded using the old equipment and instruments, that could be very different. This is what makes it tough to pinpoint. I would do my own mixing a bit different as well. Alex would be more out front in many spots because all I hear is Ged and Neil. Edit: Yes, I know I digressed. Sorry. I will go with S&A though.

cdollaz Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Vapor Trails, in that it seems like they are purposely trying to be harder and heavier, but with a lack of melody to go along with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenken Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I think its like a better version of Vapor Trails with more variety than that album. Doesnt sound anything like what they did before that to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merely Space Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I've only had one less than optimal listen, but I hear a lot of CoS. Not so much literally, although some. But more in the spirit of CoS. The adventurousness, the pushing of boundaries. It's almost like they decided all these years later to avenge CoS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeadlongMark Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 It's a mix of everything Rush was and what Rush is. So, it sounds like a Rush album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossedSignals Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Interesting thread. It really feels like CA is something totally new. If I had to choose I'd go with Vapor Trails, but really that doesn't feel very accurate. My second thought is that it has a lot of the same raw, rocking energy as Hemispheres. Lots of intense, rhythmic passages that still have a strong melody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
