Godeater2112 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 We only know Gemini as a weirdo on the Internet, so we don't really know them as a real person to be able to determine how many of those wyptoms they exude. At a glance though, and judging as a poster, about half of those seem spot on and the other half seems exactly the opposite. I know well what acute narcissism is, but Gemini has the case of something a bit more peculiar i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deslock Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 QUOTE (GeminiRising79 @ Jul 9 2012, 03:48 PM)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. Half-effort? Holy hell, even if you don't like the music, it's obvious from the songs and interviews that they gave it their best. And what you call principaled, I call first-world whining and misplaced entitlement. There are decent quality streams of some songs and 90 second clips of all the songs, plus mediocre quality versions of the entire album on youtube. If none of that is promising enough for you, then don't buy the CD. On second thought: QUOTE Always angry and dissatisfied Even the lost ones, the frightened and mean ones Even the ones with a devil inside Thank your stars you're not that way Turn your back and walk away Don't even pause and ask them why Turn around and say goodbye I wish you well.

Borrow it, don't borrow it. Do I wish that you liked what you've heard so far? Sure I do, but I wish the everyone liked Rush. Seems to me, however, that your mind was made up loooonnngggg before CA was released, but you do love to stir the pot...which admittedly can be fun to watch. I'm going to be fair and listen to the album (and listen often) at the persistent insistence of others here. I'm really doing this for them, believe or not. Gee thanks. You shouldn't have...

Union 5-3992 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Not sure why you need "CD Quality" to tell if it sounds good or not. If you dislike it through basic streams/leaks, I'm sure the CD won't improve your opinion much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure there is a name for that in some sort of psychiatric journal. Yes, its called "empathy" Yeah, because you're such a sweetheart. Always thinking of others. If you want to do something for us, forget about listening to the CD. How about you just put an ixnay on the ollingtray? If he wants to favor us, leave the forum. It will be the greatest, most appreciated service he can give because most us think he's a jerk and a half, which Im sure he's proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never enough for me to decide to purchase it or not. The quality online is fine enough to make a decision. If you dislike it where it is now, I honestly don't see you liking it when you have the CD. What you can find on Youtube is fair enough of a sneak preview to judge whether or not you like the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just doing it for sick kicks, poking fun at our love for the album through his disguised request for help, and really doesnt care at all. He heard CA, hates it, and thinks his opinion is the only right one. He cant stand it that so many are loving CA, hence the grand standing and sarcasm. Predictable troll....nothing more.
