Mr. Not Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Disregard the concept of CA for a bit and take the songs at face value. You are to design the best possible side you can by changing the track listing of the album. Consequently, the remaining songs which will make up the other album side, will be, to you, the worst of CA. After doing this, you can optionally compare the album sides to actual Rush album sides, whether you just do a few or 36. Note: Traditionally, album sides are seen as album halves. This means, in CA's case, that each side should be around 30 minutes - but it doesn't have to be. The side you create absolutely must be under 40 minutes, however. Have fun, and don't be a bitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deslock Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Though the idea of two sides on a studio recording is old school, I'll play. My 6 favorite songs: Clockwork Angels Headlong Flight The Anarchist BU2B Carnies Caravan However, at 37:25 it's about as long as many of their classics: 35:35 - Permanent Waves 36:14 - Hemispheres 37:18 - Fly By Night 37:37 - A Farewell to Kings 38:46 - 2112 IMO, this is better than any side of any Rush album: Side 1 (21:43): Clockwork Angels Headlong Flight The Anarchist Instead of creating a best and worst side from the 12 songs, here are a couple options for an ass-kicking album of classic Rush length: Side 1 (18:21): Caravan BU2B Clockwork Angels Side 2 (19:04): The Anarchist Carnies Headlong Flight Or a little longer (order chosen to make lengths of each side close to even): Side 1 (21:55): The Anarchist BU2B Carnies The Wreckers Side 2 (21:59): Caravan Clockwork Angels BU2B2 Headlong Flight At this point I've listened to the new record enough to form the following opinion: Clockwork Angels isn't their most consistant album, but it has the best 43:54 minutes of any Rush album.
