The reason polls generally suck is because they lack the proper options a lot of the time.

I would vote CA is equal to both. Not better or worse...equal. Not an option so, no vote for me.

Sorry! Didn't think about that option doh.gif

 

Your choice is noted by me, though

IMO Just be your definition alone, CA is better than Signals and GUP. (Signals is my favorite Album and holds my favorite song by the way)

 

Most of the Best tracks on CA:

 

Clockwork Angels

Headlong Flight

Caravan

The Garden

Seven Cities of Gold

The Anarchist

BU2B

The Wreckers

Carnies

Halo Effect

 

Are Better than the best tracks Signals:

 

Subdivisions > Caravan

Analog Kid = The Anarchist

Chemistry < BU2B

Digital Man < Headlong Flight

The Weapon < Clockwork Angels

New World Man < Seven Cities of Gold

Losing It = The Wreckers (Actually, I'm starting to think The Wreckers is better)

Countdown < The Garden

 

Clockwork Angels > Signals

 

And Better than the tracks on Grace Under Pressure

 

Distant Early Warnings = Clockwork Angels

AfterImage < The Anarchist

Red Sector A < Headlong Flight

Enemy Within < BU2B

Body Electric < Caravan

Kid Gloves < Seven Cities of Gold

Red Lenses < The Wreckers

Between The Wheels = The Garden

 

Clockwork Angels > Grace Under Pressure

 

And Better than the tracks on Power Windows

 

The Big Money = Caravan

Grand Design < The Anarchist

Manhattan Project < Seven Cities of Gold

Marathon = Headlong Flight

Territories = Clockwork Angels

Middletown Dreams = The Wreckers

Emotional Detector < BU2B

Mystic Rhythms < The Garden

 

Clockwork Angels > Power Windows

 

 

And you still have Carnies, Halo Effect, Wish Them Well and BU2B2 Which are really damn good.

 

Honestly, with the exception of Subdivisions, I can find an equal or better track on CA than the rest of the tracks on Signals and GUP and PW.

Why do I need to Jack Off? Just listening to the music is enough for me to determine that Clockwork Angels is better than everything after Moving pictures but it seems that many need to see the facts.

To me the GUP tour was one of the most powerfull sets of music i had ever seen.. just think MP and Signals were albums just on its heals. The Rush liveset archive was at its peak... You got a heavy dose of MP .. Sig .. Hemi ...PeW..and 2112 at those shows. Beyond that you had the GUP material, Which i believe is underated here... To me Power Windows sounded to bright on alot of songs... Territories has that punch i like. But i feel Rush went to soft for my taste on this album..Not that i dont enjoy it.. i do...It probable has a collection of some of Rushes most beautiful melodies in the sync era.. But when i hear the songs on GUP ... Afterimage... Red Sector A ... the enemy within ...The Body electric ...Red Lenses ... & Between the Wheels .I feel like this is Rush songs in distress . The power and aggressive edginess on some of these cuts i listed sound like a beautiful sync rock symphony. And woundn't be surprised to see alot of these songs played on this tour with the strings. Let the sharks bring on the thrasing now lol.. Edited by The Vigilante

Better than both, Not the production however wink.gif

Cha ching...... applaudit.gif

 

Edit...nope changed my mind.

PoW is better. Grace is better too.

 

Just had to listen for a few hours one after the other. CA is not better than either.

Not musically nor production wise. For me anyway.

 

CA cannot touch anything in my opinion before Presto. Anything after, yea maybe.

But not before.

 

Its wearing off....I find myself doing the same thing I did with Snakes. Turning it off in favor of ANYTHING before Presto....and enjoying it much more.

 

Dammit I so wanted to love this album.

Well, Power Windows is my least-favorite Rush album by far... so, yeah, I'd take Clockwork Angels over it.

 

Grace Under Pressure is a much tougher opponent. It has four spectacular songs (DEW, AI, RSA, TEW) plus a very good one (BTW). But with TBE it sinks far lower than CA does at any point, and CA matches its four spectacular songs and adds a heap of very good ones on top of that. CA is a much deeper album than GUP is.

 

So I'm going to say that CA is better than both.

Mick

I don't think its euphoria, not at all. Its a very careful observation. I like every track on CA, some I simply Love. This hasn't happened since Signals, hence thats the album I compare it to the most. At this moment, with the exception of Subdivision, I honestly believe that the tracks on Clockwork Angels are stronger than the tracks on Signals. My favorite song has always been Losing It and The Wreckers is really giving it a run for its money. Maybe I'm delusional, but after 4 Weeks, (Since I the Download). My opinion on CA hasn't changed it has actually become stronger with every listen. At first I knew it was better than S & A and VT, then Counterparts. After the Release of the actaul CD I knew we had a winner here cause lets face it, Its not hard to go from CP to PW, GUP and finally Signals. The songs on CA just keep growing on you. Thats a sign of a very good if not great album. Its not boring, repetitive or weak. On the contrary..It ROCK pretty damn hard!
