GeminiRising79 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) I've only heard the lo-res youtube version of CA, and I refuse to purchase the CD based on my initial reaction to it. If anyone would be willing to point me to a good quality recording, I will give a fair listen and see if it "blooms" after a week. If I do see some early glimmers and it grows on me, like so many of you insist, I will buy the CD. If not, I will give an in-depth critique of each song, and the album as a whole. Thank u, Kurt Edited July 9, 2012 by GeminiRising79

Thanks, Kurt *shakes his head* Glue yourself to some radio station then I guess cheapskate! Nobody here is going to point you to an illegal stream or anything and to my knowledge online music services such as rd.io and Spotify do not have it, Rush does not want to be on those "all you can eat" services, although their old stuff is there. You've been coming here for years, seem to have weekly homoerotic thoughts about the band members and yet you won't chuck $12 to hear the album? Stuff it buddy! Edited July 9, 2012 by Godeater2112

Snaked Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 If you don't want to buy the CD you don't get to listen to it in CD quality.
GeminiRising79 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Posted July 9, 2012 It has nothing to do with being cheap. Its the principal. I refuse to buy the CD unless I first find it worthy of being bought, period. Why should I financially support Rush if I feel the album is a half-effort on the part of the members of Rush? The recording quality is another issue. From what I've heard thus far, CA is easily at the bottom of the Rush catalog.

If I can show you any sign of consolation or kidness I will say that outside the instrumentals and maybe two other tracks on Snakes & Arrows I was not a fan of most of the rest. Clockwork Angels is far superior. You'd probably like it. Now go. $12 well spent.
canadianice Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Why don't you grab a room at the Motel 6 with Trenken, and he can sing it to you.
BriGuy Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 If you don't want to buy the CD, you can download it on iTunes. It is a record album; like most songs, they grow on you the more you listen.

Thank u, Kurt You have the AUDACITY to ask anyone in here for anything when you keep insulting us everyday how our tastes suck and other such insults? I think Goober has kept track of your insult labels. You seriously need help. You are truly shameless. And it has nothing to do with liking or not liking something. You're a pure narcissist and an insensitive jerk. You love trying to piss people off and get a hard on from looking at yourself in the mirror. Buzz off and go away forever.

Don't worry, I know this thread isn't a serious request, just more grandstanding and looking for attention. That's OK. Many have a hard time wrapping their minds around my opinions, whether it be that they refuse to see the hard facts or are cerebrally incapable of doing so. I usually only buy CDs that hit a home run with me, immediately. Obviously, this Rush CD has failed, imo, BUT, since there are so many posters who rabidly extoll the perfection of this CD, I would like to give it a fair chance, against all odds.

Just to remind everyone what this dude said recently after looking at Goober's one month poll and all the positive ratings CA has gotten: "Wow. Didn't realize how many people here that have such low standards in music. Its no wonder that the music, movies and TV shows that are considered popular today are absolute rubbish. I never thought the dumbing-down process could get any worse. Btw, Nothing personal to anyone, I assure. Just my personal observation." ....what an asshole.....
sammy Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Over 1600 posts on a Rush forum and you won't buy their CD until you're absolutely sure that it's worthy of your dollars

Don't bother, you're not going to like it. And you're not going to like the setlist either, so please don't buy any tickets for this tour. By the way, TRF has a policy against sharing or asking for pirated music, so even if your OP is honest you're out of line.
