ReflectedLight Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 i think they think too much along the lines of adding "texture", and it ends up with no room because you're trying to jam everything in there, and than neil trying to jam a books worth of lyrics in there. not easy.

presto123 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Still their best work since the 80's. No it's not the best Rush record sonically but I re-EQ'd it and it sounds pretty darn good IMO. I don't think there are as many layers as some of you think. There is not even a rhythm guitar track under the solos on this record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarKo Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 QUOTE (jnoble @ Jul 13 2012, 03:06 AM)And the messed up part of all of this is that Ged and Alex both specifically said that the last couple of albums had too many layers and overdubs and CA was going to get away from that. Way to follow through, guys Agree 100% Alex seemed really determined to pare back his sound in those interviews. I think we have to look at the "professionals" who Rush pay to craft the sound of the album. They've done a poor job..... Simple as. Music and sound are analog at source and the human ear hears in analog. The increasing tendency to push natural waveforms through digital processing..... Filling the sound spectrum artificially....cutting and pasting etc....is what's creating this mess..... Along with the iPod generation. Back to magnetic tape and vinyl.....!!!... That's what I say. Can't wait for the live versions of these songs  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompers Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 QUOTE (mazyyz @ Jul 12 2012, 06:14 PM) I completely agree. The sound quality has suffered in the last three albums. S&A had a great mix, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I say. Can't wait for the live versions of these songs I've said this before. Even though I like the S&A mix, Counterparts was the last release with a great mix. The reason? They kept it simple (thanks to Kevin Shirley of Dream Theater fame). Although not as horrid as VT, CA suffers over-production.

ThinkingBig Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 QUOTE (treeduck @ Jul 12 2012, 04:12 PM) Should Peter Collins return to the RUSH production fold next time? All the albums Peter produced with RUSH have great production quality. And he's still got it, the Flying Colors album sounds excellent! Come on now you RUSH fools, have at it! Are you just trying to stir shit up? Or are you flirting with the 'audio experts'?  This is RUSH's last album and it's perfect. The 'experts' need to decompress their brains and stop grubbing for attention. No one cares what their basement audio system software says.  We all have these two things called 'ears' and either the music punches your gut and touched your heart via your ears, or .... it doesn't. No software needed to calibrate my gut and my heart. ProTools says thanks for buying our software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway...someone tell me about Collins and his upside please He brought Caveman to Rush. OK, but what did Collins do for the band??? Caveman isone thing. what does Collins do that is so special??? He helped creat really crisp and dynamic sounding albums, Rush's best sounding albums IMO. CA is a muddy mess. The drums sound completely dead in it. Rush deserves better than this. Nick is a hack producer who only gets hired by garbage mainstream rock bands.  Why do some of the more creative and revered bands out there not work with stock producers like him? Hmmm I wonder... sorry sir, you are in the wee minority on this. everyone else in the world is wrong and your right? Best album since the early 80's is THE consensus. Anyway...have a nice day dude!   Utterly Flawless  Um, have you read the threads on this board about the sound of this album? Yeah pretty sure Im not alone. You're too busy with your joke review threads to even realize how many people dont love the mix of this album. I have, and most folks don't have a beef with it. A lot wish it sounded better, sure, but it's not a major issue with most regular posters here. thank you lerxter. it is a minority of people who have a problem with sound. I think the CD sounds awesome in a car, a boom box, or a $3000 stereo! I think you are very lucky to be able to either A.) ignore the poor mix B.) not know the difference. Edited July 13, 2012 by Gompers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did collins bring to the albums he produced? what quality does he bring out of Rush that makes his productions superior to Nicks? It is almost universally agreed that CA is the bands best release since the early 80's...why is that? Nick had A LOT to do with it. Just ask the boys.

Now, admittedly I am no audiophile though I have a deep respect for the quality of sound in music and film. I just don't get it. People in my office who listen to this music with me don't understand the hubbub as well. Give me an example of where this music falls short in your ears please. In laymans terms if you don't mind.   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
