2112th Man Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 just wanna chime in that Clockwork Angels is a good fricking album. the first two songs are kickass. period. Clockwork Angels will stand the test of time- great u2 sound with better drums 4 - the anarchist is signals song #9 .. period. Its epic.. help me people... the guitar and the taurus pedals and mimi moog! the flange is back! great riff rock is here... but, they are pushing 60 and i know they can still rip a riff... i heard that 34 years ago... I'm a real fan... i love their melodic midtempo stuff... they already ripped for years....they are the best a that ... but now.. we have the Garden... they are incredible muscians who can now pull back and play feel, music thats smooth and cool... Halo Effect is another epic This album can be on film on the big screen with the story... another strong effort.... cant wait to see them in ATL and I feel we're gonna finally hear Losing it!!!!! and some other gems off signals this year... makes sense with the 30th anniversary and the strings coming along on tour... fandamntatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losingit2k Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I was also turned on by during signals. I'm really psyched about this tour more than any other since Hold Your Fire I think. It tour hold so much promise. Which of course includes the possibility of hearing "Losing It" live for the first time, not to mention the possibility of hearing "Manhattan Project", "Tears", "Nobody's Hero" and perhaps even "Different Strings" Live with a string section. This is going to be a great concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That high pitched sustained drone sound by morphed synth and strings sounds like the sustained moog sound they used to have in their late 70s and early 80s albums. Vintage stuff!

Syrinx Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I have been a fan for 37 years. I read all the comments on CA on this site over the last couple of weeks and didn't know what to expect. Fans can be a little biased So I had about 4 hours of yard work to catch up on Saturday. I bought CA off itunes and listened to it for the first time, non stop for the whole time. I have to say it is a great album. I don't think Rush has been getting better every album. I think there have been some relatively weak ones in the last 15 years. Clockwork Angels rocks and is certainly their best effort by far in a long long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerxt Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 33 years for me. The events of my life are illustrated and marked in my mind by Rush songs. They are the theme song to my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gompers Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) Fan since 1980 here. CA is a very good release, but to say Rush got better with ever release? HYF was a step downward in lyric writing. Presto and RTB were huge steps into music and lyrical blandsville. VT was an exercise in how to make a dramatic comeback by trying to sound like you are 20. S&A was a great return to the band writing like genuine musicians. CA is on par with S&A but mimics 2112 in the sense of taking a chance. Most of the songs are very good.

To be a wee more accurate/anal, it was one of Geddy's Oberheim synths doing the high synth-string parts on their old albums. Regardless of how it was created, though, it's nice to hear that little sonic element make a comeback in the Anarchist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another failed attempt to minimize CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Slipperman Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Yep. Been a fan since 1981. I love the new album too. And no, I have not loved every single record or song they've ever produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DistantEarlyRushFan Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Been a fan since '05 No other band does it for me like them. Glad that CA is offered too me now and that they didn't just stop at S&A. That would have sucked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D3strukt Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I've been a fan since 1995. This is easily the best release since i've been a fan. Although VT was much fun running to the store with my allowance and picking up. Holy shit, in 3 years, it'll be 20 years.... Basically all of my life..... many musical journeys.

shail Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 CA is good. It doesn't even close to Power Windows or Hold Your Fire. Great song writing and musicianship back then. I miss the players they were in their prime. Rush were the ultimate prog rockers. Nothing to this day can touch a 1983 to 1988 rush. The attitude of musicianship, writing and production was perfection. What the f**k happened to that rush? CA is a great effort. I will let time pass and let it grow on me. That's what she said.
