Kelly D Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 QUOTE (Presto-digitation @ Jun 10 2012, 11:23 PM) I really don't care what a majority of fans think or not. I'm no less convinced I feel a certain way because the masses aren't behind me. Simply like what you like. My favorite album is Moving Pictures. Hardly a daring choice, but it's their best album to me, so there ya go. Counterparts is #2. Almost NO ONE would agree with that. Who cares? I like it. Hey, Counterparts and Presto are tied as my favorite albums. I'm pretty sure I'm alone there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most I'll say is I'm seriously enjoying it, but I need a MINIMUM of a few months before I can really see where it ends up in my list of album rankings.

ReflectedLight Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 QUOTE (presto123 @ Jun 10 2012, 04:44 AM) CA is way better than 2112. All it takes is more spins and more familiarity. 2112 was an important record in the bands history for sure but it has weaknesses. CA has few weaknesses once you give it a chance to sink in. I never would have believed it. This record just gets better and better the more you spin it. whatever blows your skirt up dude. we all hear things differently.

Clockwork Angels is battling it for the top spot, and we'll see how it shakes out over time, but Presto has been tops for a long, long time.

The most I'll say is I'm seriously enjoying it, but I need a MINIMUM of a few months before I can really see where it ends up in my list of album rankings. I'm not maniacally enthusiastic, but I love the record. And I feel that I'm being objective - as much as I can - because I can still remember how I felt when I first heard Presto, RTB, CP, VT, Feedback and SNA. The others are a bit of a blur because I devoured all of them in the span between Presto and CP. Compared to how I felt during the release of the past six albums, how I feel about CA is way more positive, way more impressed. Presto is my number one, and CA is right up there with it. I don't see that changing over time, if performance of past releases is any indicator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughes&kettner Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 QUOTE (Tommy Sawyer @ Jun 10 2012, 10:52 PM) [/quote] I love when people use the word 'classic' as if by some product of magic over 30 years, the albums from 2112 to MP have somehow become unmatchable ever, by anything because they are so perfect. Come on, people, they're just albums. yeah- and star wars is just a movie and the koran is just a book. WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They Bow Defeated Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 QUOTE (trenken @ Jun 10 2012, 07:04 AM)This is obviously a joke topic, its not really possible for anyone to believe this is better than 2112, and do we need separate threads flooding the board every time someone has a thought? There is a reactions thread for this already. Aren't you the one who always whines that you're just expressing your opinions when someone calls you out for unpopular views? Of course it's possible that someone might prefer CA to 2112. I haven't heard it yet, and don't think I'll be one of them. But it's certainly possible that someone might prefer CA, just like someone might prefer 90125 over Fragile or Death Magnetic over Kill Em All.

Kelly D Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 QUOTE (losingit2k @ Jun 11 2012, 06:54 PM) Danny-boy, Clockwork Angels is going to blow Presto away by a miles. Just about everthing on the second half of Presto except for "Available Light"is just Ok with some of it being pretty questionable. Clockwork Angels dosn't have any questionable songs and most are good to great! Even the weaker tracks are better then most of the 2nd half of Presto. CA can easiliy be compared to anything pre-A Farewell to Kings and post Moving Pictures! That's the beautiful part about opinions- they differ from person to person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwork Angels is very sophisticated. Maybe it is just the "newness," but I am inclined to agree. CA is better than 2112. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
