I only have one complaint about the entire song and I don't want to say what it is. It's not quite the DEATH METAL that you often need to rip your face off like the Miami Cannibal has you by the goulashes? No, it has more to do with one of the most annoying catchphrases our generation will ever know, I've been battling it for ~8 months now, at work, with family, recently I learned some people, even my boss are using it in acronym form.... now it shows up on my favorite Rush track since I became a fan... I'd pay cold hard cash to have it stricken from the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So...what's the verdict after one listen? Did it hit you as hard as a Saints' player following through on a bounty?! It's good and there's no clunkers, no fillers, no stinkers, even the so called weaker tracks like Wish Them Well are very good songs! It hit extremely hard, but luckily I keep getting up and casually giving the ball to the official like nothing happened... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

go2wrk@95974 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I'll be buying this one, as soon as the cash-flow picks up some speed.... kinda on the poor side at the moment.

My heart absolutely sank when I heard that lyric, and cringed the second time too. I know it sounds stupid but it bothers me that much and as I said otherwise I think this track is nothing short of BRILLIANT. *sigh* My strategy? Beer kills braincells. Hopefully that will help somehow. Somehow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh I was thinking it might be "in the fullness of time" luckily nothing in any of the lyrics bothers me I don't think...but then again I'm not a lyric king like say Mr Gary Rushgoober. I'm kind of like a rock in the river bed when it comes to lyrics, I just let them flow over me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 I like the booklet... Much better than the album cover, I still don't get why they chose that image, or why Syme created it...

Honestly, if there is one gripe about CA, which isn't really one...is that I expected more from the album art. I think S&A definitely still has the better artwork overall...and when I say that, I mean the pictures for each song and such within the booklet. There are some great photos in the CA one...just not enough of them IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP both! I didn't know you lost your sister, my condolences. Yeah reading the dedication to Andrew in the liner was sad. I think I put it down and forgot to skim through any of the rest yet.
