Captain Avatar Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 QUOTE (Terrapin @ Jun 23 2012, 08:33 PM) Apologies to everybody out there who are pretending to like this thing, but the songwriting, vocal melodies, song structures, arrangements are an example of a band that are completely devoid of any ideas as regards a musical future... The mastering is so bad that the individual instruments and vocals are difficult to hear. Quite obviously, to anybody with a pair of ears this album has been cut and pasted beyond belief and not particularly well No, it doesn't "Kick Ass" and no, it's not their best since... ? 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthshine Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Sorry man. Give it time. Look, when I first heard Rush in 1977, I could not stand them! Then, they started to grow on me, then I could not stop listening to A Farewell To Kings. I really think Rush is the greatest band of all time.

You forgot something. "IMO...." -- it means "in my opinion" What you said is just your opinion. Nothing more. When you state your OPINION with an emphatic tone, you come off like a total asshole troll. Is that you you want to be seen or do you care?

Sure, we could have just ignored it and maybe we should have in an ideal world. But, this forum is not a Buddhist Monestary. He got what was coming to him....and more. Exactly. If he hates CA, that's fine. I don't care. He can hate it, he can say so, and he can explain why he hates it all he wants. But he crossed the line when he said the rest of us were "pretending" to like it and would eventually see things his way... presumably when we stopped "pretending" and became as enlightened as he. Hate the album all you want, but don't get the rest of us PERSONALLY involved in your hate. (And FWIW, if I didn't like the album, I wouldn't "pretend" I did. From day one of S&A's release, I was very verbal in my dislike of the album.) It could've been entirely a put-on, and he could've been baiting us. Sure, we probably should've ignored the whole thing. This is a lesson I'm learning at home as a parent: not to take the bait and argue with my children, but rather ignore it and let it go. Myself and the others didn't do that; we perpetuated the argument. But GR, this trolly thread is all about bating. No one should be expending energy trying to communicate with him. He's not coming back. At most, he'll come back as a guest to laugh at everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, few among us can just let it lie. People love to argue and to prove they're "right." Trolls capitalize on this human tendency: they bait us, and we take the bait even though we recognize we shouldn't. Now we have nine pages of posts from people who couldn't help themselves and felt they HAD to respond. Imagine if fish knew there was a fishing pole and death at the other end of that dangling worm... but still couldn't resist nibbling, because it was their instinct. That's us.

LeaveMyThingAlone Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Good Lord people....I can promise you that the original poster is sitting back and watching his creation with a big grin on his face. 8-9 pages of posts and responses to a thread he started clearly to get everyone worked up. We're not just feeding the troll, we are giving way too many servings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
