Jmo2112 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) After listening many times and reading interviews with the boys I have concluded that this is really the ultimate concept album by Rush. While 2112 and Hemispheres are great albums they lack the genuine cohesiveness and maturity that Clockwork Angels has in spades. This makes sense considering Rush have had 30+ years for this one to percolate. Isn't it phenomenal that they are not only more relevant than ever but charting at #2 with a *concept album*?!

jnoble Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I was just telling someone the story arc of CA is like a direct combination of The Fountain of Lamneth and 2112. A man who wants to see and explore the world, which is run by higher authorties who can be real dicks, and different things happen to him along the way.

micgtr71 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I guess I never saw Hemispheres or 2112 as concept records...just the one side. So, I will say that CA is definitely more of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexmai Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Last night I listen to CA on headphones with lyrics and singalong... is way better than it seems. Best lyrics EVER for a Rush album, and emotion to extremes... CA is incredibly good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
