This blows that VH record out of the water. : That is Ridiculous . You can like Rush more than VH and you can think the new Rush is better than new VH but to say "Blown out of the Water " ? You are not comparing S&A with Moving Pictures Both records are excellent!!! Being a Rush Whore I will probably give my Album Of The Year to "Clockwork Angels" however "Different Kind Of Truth" is easily in my TOP 5 thus far!!!

Out of the woodwork? Dude, I am a moderator here... Of the audio gear section. Is it too much to ask for a good sounding album? In this day and age apparently so. The material would sink in much better if it were slightly more listenable. I dare anyone who listens to CA and likes it listen to any non Rush recording from 1979 or before and tell me which sounds better. If you say CA then you are "drinking the Kool-Aid" and are not listening with your ears. Edited June 16, 2012 by CygnusX-1Bk2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you say CA then you are "drinking the Kool-Aid" and are not listening with your ears. Yep...and that's the problem. So many people drink the kool-aid. Like I've stated a million times, I like every Rush song...period. Fanboi-ish? Maybe. But yeah...to me, the mix on CA could be way better. Does it mean I like it any less? Not really...I still LOVE CA. It's a fantastic album that proves the guys still have it. So many awesome songs. But the mix could be better. Why do people get so defensive over someone else's opinion? I wish others here would understand that you're not any less of a fan if you simply state something like, 'I wish the mix could be better'. Don't worry...we still believe you're a fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You going to Maiden at Shoreline? (as I hijack the thread a little) Hey buddy! I am a person who could give a fukk about hijacking a thread! People who complain about hijacking a thread on a fukking public forum are uptight and pathetic!! A billion Rush fans could hijack my threads and I could care less! Free thought can still exist!! "Deviate from the norm!!" "It is what it is!" LOL! Fukk these little troll punks on this Forum. I've earned my time and respect on here. We have more Rush knowledge and Rush concerts under our 2112 belt buckles than most of these frauds!! IN RUSH WE TRUST! Signed, Dave Meniketti PS: I really want to hit the Maiden show but Wendy has no interest. I love the "Seventh Son" vibe of the gig but I might just pass! I have my Kiss and Motley Crue tix though! I have section 105 Row K for KISS!!! Pumped!! I might go to Maiden but I would rather save my money for RUSH!

Presto-digitation Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) Vapor Trails II (in the thread title) is an abject exaggeration on the highest order, even if the new album is hot. Don't even get me started on the St. Anger comparison. LOLOLOL!!! No amount of EQ tweaking ever helped VT. I still can't discern a single solitary bass line CLEARLY in the mud and muck that is Vapor Trails. I concede that CA is hot, but a little EQ-ing goes a long way towards reducing the issue, as this thread pointed out: http://www.therushforum.com/index.php?showtopic=74989 ...and even un-EQ'd, I could always separate Geddy from Alex on CA on even the shittiest computer speaker, let alone in my headphones. VT and CA are not even close to being the same degree of a problem any more than Abe Lincoln looks like Billy Gibbons just because they both wore beards.

Todem Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) The mix could be better. No question. But this is not a sonic disaster. Far from it. People actually were flipping at Signals mix back in the day....I mean really flipping out. Now people realize how warm and fantastic that mix actually was. (not saying CA is warm or a fantastic mix). Over time I think CA will be fine. It has some unique sounds going on and a very distinctive mood. The mood of this album is amazing.

mazyyz Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I think the new album is good....but I wouldn't call it a masterpiece as that would be a slap in the face to the real masterpieces they have created in the past...ala Moving Pictures and 2112. I think it is different than S&A and VT and has a few gems hidden inside just like those two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
