canadianice Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Clockwork Angels is truly a masterpiece, a once in a lifetime classic, I could mention a few of these that have graced our ears, over the years. The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zepp. etc. I have alwats had a soft spot for Rush, I guess i can put that down to being a proud Canadian, living within a short distanceof the boys. From day 1, Rush caught me in there wonderful web of music. Over the years i have faithfully followed. attende there concerts, and really enjoyed there music. I guess being a true Canuck fan, i am naturally biased.I am the same age as Alex, Ged and neil, and i just want to express my heartfelt thanks, for all the beautiful music, you have given us throug the years. And to top it off with such a classic album, well words of thanks, would not suffice. Alex, Geddy, and Neil , Heartfelt thanks for making my life a lot brighter, with all your wonderful music. peace and love 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Sarcasm-o-meter at 11!! "karmaceutical: There isn't a lot of variety in there. Not very surprising, actually. Rush is about as one-dimensional as it gets." "Yes, I frequently can't tell the difference between Led Zeppelin an Bjork. Totally the same style."

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 "Thwack: DarKrow: What about the voice of Geddy Lee? How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy." Geddy Lee's singing voice is much lower than it was in the late 70s. I would not call it low by any means, but it is much mellower now. That's another way I can tell someone who has not listened to Rush in ages, they still think he sings in a "screech" or a "banshe wail". As for his speaking voice, it's perfectly "normal". *whoosh* God almighty, this is a scream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) It's time like this I wish I was a fanboi. But it's not my nature. I'm just very critical when it comes to this stuff. I till give CA a solid 6/10. Not perfect but has stuff i'd come back for. I've started skipping tracks now too Caravan BU2B Carnies Seven Cities of Gold BU2B2 That's 5 tracks.

USB Connector Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 While I was blown away by the entire album upon the 10 or so listens I've given it so far, I find it's too early to tell. Right now I consider it to be one of their best albums, but the hype train is still well in effect. I think that once the tour starts winding down people will be able to look at it much more objectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful.....SOMEONE will start labeling you....... Which is why it is [ironically] underrated by, of all people, serious Rush fans. This album is #2 to only Moving Pictures in my book. Fawning over early Rush is fashionable. Fawning over new Rush makes you a fanboi. IMO all of the other concept pieces (really long songs) are wildly overrated with the exception of 2112.

ReflectedLight Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 i don't think it's a masterpiece or great but i think there's some very good songs on the album that i like. good for the fans who think it's a masterpiece as they are getting great listening pleasure to their ears.
