the masked drummer Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I guess what I'm saying is, can't you be contructive instead of making a blanket statement that it sucks? Maybe if we pointed out how the album could have been better, rush members might read this stuff and do another album. If i read enough negative posts like this about my band's new album, I'd probably say "f**k em. Let's just tour from now on, and charge ridiculous prices! Unappreciative bastards..."

To be honest, I would prefer to read the novel than to have to listen to Pearts backing band trying to come up with some dodgy music in an effort to support his narrative. "In the fullness of time" this album will go down as sucking as much as the rest of the Rush catalogue since "Signals" I remember reading on this forum how great "Snakes and Arrows" was, only to be slagged of a few moths later, once the childish euphoria wore off.. CA is truly awful... you'll all agree with me in a few years - or through the "fullness" of time... And everything after Signals sucks to you? Wow, most Rush fans I know, and I know a lot, would disagree. That statement there by itself completely discredits your opinion of CA IMO. You haven't been a fan of Rush in ages, so why post in a Rush forum 30 years later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gedneil Alpeart Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 QUOTE (greg2112 @ Jun 24 2012, 06:28 AM) Hey this guy has a full right to his opinion. I dont think hes a troll or off his rocker. Now, I personally disagree with his assessment -- I love CA and think its easily their best overall effort since Grace. But that being said, his opinion is no less valid than anyone else's and he has as much a right to post it here. Im a bit surprised some of you cant see the difference between someone who just says he doesnt like something vs another who states extreme negative opinions under the guise of trying to provoke and instigate using language that is insulting. From the get go, it was sbvious that this guy was out to press buttons, and now we have proof. There have been people here who dont like CA but dont act insulting and arrogant about it and I have no issues with that. To each his own. But, in this case, he clearly crossed the line......was very obvious to me anyways....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddyRulz Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) Was the OP being sarcastic, posting the opposite of his true opinions, as a farcical comment on the members who really DO have those opinions and have shared them?? "Sorry, but it sucks." Sorry, but no it doesn't. Hard as it may be to believe, almost all of us LOVE IT, and only a few of us are "pretending" to. There've been Rush albums (and also Geddy's MFH) where I initially overstated my impressions of the album, in blind enthusiasm for having something NEW from the boys. I can tell that's not the case with CA. My enthusiasm for it is genuine and will be long-lasting; I know it. This is a great album I'll be re-visiting often, for the rest of my days.

There are many in here that automatically love anything that Rush puts out "to death". Not that there is anything wrong with that. Its called fanboyism. I do not mean that in a derogatory manner at all. As a long time, but former fanboy, I understand fanboyism intimately. Wish I could be one again. It was more fun. He is clearly posting to poke lovers in the eye. No point in that. Carry on with the slaughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
