NYM86 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 QUOTE (Tick @ Jun 23 2012, 10:04 AM) QUOTE (NYM86 @ Jun 23 2012, 09:56 AM) Even as a big S&A fan I tend to agree. That album's bluesy sound is a nice departure but far from quintessential Rush. Meanwhile, CA hearks back to a more classic sound while still retaining the "always move forward" mantra of the band...a delicate balancing act they pulled off with aplomb. NEW YORK METS 86!!!!!! Hell yeah! One of the all-time classic squads in Met history, and even baseball history if you ask me... By the way, as long as we are discussing Hold Your Fire I'd like to get one point out there...as great as CA is, it's not the technical achievement HYF was. Behind that album's soft sound was some serious instrumental wizardry on par with Hemispheres in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone really think if Hold Your Fire was released now it would be hailed with the same love CA is getting? I think it would be getting ripped up personally. Not by all, but many. I also think if CA is released in 87 when Hold Your Fire was, it would have blown peoples minds. Yup, that's what me thinketh. Hey Tick, Yea your right but for the wrong reasons in my humble opinion. If HYF would have be released June 12 2012, the musicality of it would have never worked with the way mastering and mixing is done today. I think HYF would have torn up people ears. So yea, a failure for sure. If CA was released in 81 using Signals mastering/mixing techniques and equipment, it would have surpassed everything but Moving Pictures in my opinion. Yea, see? Thats what us whiners are saying. Tone the album down a bit so it isn't so hot/harsh. More sonic separation would be nice. Put MORE dynamic range in, that it currently has. I gotta say I would be curious to hear what HYF made today would sound like... one of my favorite albums. I know, I know, literally no one would agree with me. Whatever. TAI SHAN 2012 Nope, I agree. I happen to like Tai Shan. In my opinion, (hey Tick) SONICALLY any past album re-mixed/mastered to today's standards would destroy the album. Simple as that. I said before in another thread, it would be AMAZING if Rush would agree to an OPEN SOURCE album. Or...even just ONE Song. Release the master to those who have the EQ and skill and see who can take ONE album (or One Song) and make the "Best Rush" by a voting system based on Fan input. That would keep us forever busy.....lmao But hey, thats the kind of shit Rush fans love, the nerds we are. For example, We know Nick and Rich's take on Caravan, release the master to say 20-30 other's (who work for us) and see what we can do with it. http://www.cartoonpictures5.com/i/sonic-the-hedgehog-44-364x600.jpg Great idea Tick! Let Sonic do it! I didn't know the hedgehog could mix n master. He could probably do it Fast too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
