WCFIELDS Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) I sure hear a lot VT and TFE in CA.....more VT though. Anyone else? Most notables... -Halo Effect sounds very much like it could come straight from TFE -BU2B stylistically would fit right in on VT There are lots of other traces, but to me those are the most obvious..

Quite a bit, but with more sophistication and substance. Also hear a lot of CP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushBowler2112 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Can anyone hear the Rush in this new album? It definitely sounds like Rush in many parts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Enemy Without Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 QUOTE (RushBowler2112 @ Jul 1 2012, 07:01 PM) Can anyone hear the Rush in this new album? It definitely sounds like Rush in many parts! Now that you've pointed it out, I can really start to hear the Rush influence in so many of these songs. I didn't expect it to sound much like Rush at first, but wow! They really surprised me!

GoldRush Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 "Wish Them well" sounds like T4E (Carve away the stone) The beginning of "The Wreckers" reminds me of the beginning of "Everyday Glory" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaked Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 since I consider the SONGS* on VT to be among some of the best of the last 20 years it would be a good thing if there were traces of VT on CA. that being said, CA stands on it's own. there is no need for me to compare it to previous albums (aside from the obvious nods to BD etc). *I said the SONGS were among some of the best... the production blows, there is no arguement there. But the songs themselves and the performances are excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union 5-3992 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I found one comparison quite interesting. Compare the title tracks of Vapor Trails and Clockwork Angels. They do feel a bit similar, though still quite different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenken Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Not sure about T4E. I dont hear a lot of that. I think it's closest to VT than any of their other albums, with some S&A thrown in there. That little folk breakdown section in the title track could have been on S&A, and the prechorus music of 7 Cities is right out of Good News First. Listen to 1:36 of 7 Cities, then intro of Good News, exactly the same, even in the same key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushIslander Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 IMO, there are many "nods" to their past in many places on the record. What I hear so far is... Clockwork Angels - The main riff Grand Finale approach, plus the Lamneth~ish ending. The Anarchist - The riff sounds like Beneath, Between, Behind as if it was on Signals, LOL Seven Cities of Gold - I LOVE the flanger, and the solid E from the bass pedals in the outro...is Xanadu next!? Tastes from the 70's. Headlong Flight - The obvious, and admitted Bastille Day reference is great to me!!! I'm sure there is more as I'm not immersed in the material after HYF, if even that album... All that aside, I think the Clockwork Angles album is f***ing AWESOME!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slack jaw gaze Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 QUOTE (trenken @ Jul 1 2012, 08:20 PM)Listen to 1:36 of 7 Cities, then intro of Good News, exactly the same, even in the same key. So you are saying you could write 168 songs and not have a few seconds of any of them sound like a few seconds of any of the others? That would be quite an accomplishment...and an utterly silly expectation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
