I already know what they'll say but they are brutally honest over there so it's always entertaining to see. You'll get some pretty nasty response if you post some of CA there. i'm sure it would be a little like here. some would like it, some will like some of it, and some don't like it.

Those people still buy their albums, which hover around 500k sales so there isnt all that many of us left in the world. Travel outside of here though and people have some nasty shit to say about modern Rush. QBN has millions of users and ive talked to them about Rush many times.

It's got flaws, as do most of their CD's. On a whole, I think CA is fantastic. It's the best stuff they've done in a couple of decades and a half.

How boring would this message board be if we all just talked about how great Rush was ? Except for a few songs, I HATED HYF. There I said it. Run for your lives!!

LOL at all the Nut Washing that goes on in this forum. You're arguing with hardcore Rush fans that love everything they do. You cant win so dont worry about it man. I grew up loving Rush, got my Permanent Waves tape when I was 6, but at the same time if they do something that sounds like crap to my ears, I have no problems saying it. I really dont think CA is very good. It's decent, better than S&A, not even remotely close to much of what they've done prior to the late 80s. It's just my opinion. If someone else loves it that's fine, but we should all be able to share our opinions as long as we dont attack others. I get attacked all the time by blind Rush fanboys just for sharing my meaningless little opinions on things when Im bored. Doesnt bother me one bit.

bluefox4000 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I know very well about message boards. i'm Part of a fleetwood Mac one.....Stevie fans are.....wow is the only word i can use. I've just been able to look at every band I love with a critical eye....I've never been.....i don't how else to phrase it......caught in fandom But i understand why people would be, so it's cool. if i offended with the previous observation. I apologize. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make Your band Tour 38 years Make 20 gold or platinium records And then come back and we can argue about it. It goes both ways. How about this. You are not allowed to state your opinion on the band, positive or negative, if you have not accomplished what they have. Now repeat after me: "No more Rush forum discussion."

Animate Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I like the vocals in The Wreckers. The message in the lyrics of the chorus fit so many more situations then just the overt story line of this song, and the tone in which Geddy is singing them really sounds very earnest and emphatic, like he is reminding himself of a simple truth. In contrast, his vocals in the refrain transitions well with the story line, such that there is a sense of relief in the "ghostly lights" appear, yet by the end around a "bloody stain", you can hear the despair of the situation.
