HigherWater Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Good God! I've been away from the forum for about a week and it seems like in that time the haters have completely taken over! Why is Rush not aloud to write a song with a verse/chorus/bridge alignment (The Wreckers) or a song with a nice bouncy melody (Wish Them Well)? CA is a good if not great balanced record that the guys can be very proud of. I cannot believe that a Forum member would say, "I'd be embarrassed for Rush if they played that song on the radio." What a worthless, obnoxious thing to say. I'm sorry but seriously, as much as I hate Superconductor I would never say I was embarrassed for Rush. What embarrasses me are Rush fans that act like turds every time the guys try to give us something new. Like the new album, hate the new album-- Whatever. But don't for a second feel embarrassed for Rush-- They are a lot better than you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never expect you to take anything back. You feel the way you feel. But I do think it's sad that you can't accept a band's desire to GROW. I remember similar arguments around The Pass back in the 90's and I fought like hell then as well. Rush is such a unique band-- They can hit us with Headlong Flight and The Garden on the same album. I'm not at all sorry that you don't like or appreciate The Wreckers or Wish Them Well--I'm just really happy that I do, and I'm not just going to sit back and read a bunch of negativity after I waited 5 years for a new release without firing back a little.

I realize it's your opinion but your group that think it is subpar is so small that it actually verifies that the general consensus is that this is the best record they have done in quite some time. 99% of the Amazon reviews are just glowing as well as almost all media reviews. I still don't think I've read even one negative or even mediocre review from a media source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What embarrasses me are Rush fans that act like turds every time the guys try to give us something new. Like the new album, hate the new album-- Whatever. But don't for a second feel embarrassed for Rush-- They are a lot better than you! It's sub-par album, and to me The Wreckers is one of the worst tracks....doesn't sound like Rush or represent any aspect of Rush that I like.. I wonder: what is "Par"? Does Rush have Birdie and Eagle albums? Is Test for Echo a double bogey? Subpar - Not measuring up to traditional standards of performance, value, or production, which is basically anything after Presto... Things did take an ominous turn with Presto. did they ever... We were then treated to RTB, CP, and T4E. CP is overrated, it's not even in my top 10. Well I think over 80% have CA in their top ten according to a poll on this very forum. Amazing. Edit: make that 83%. The album just came out......let's see the results in a year.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been away from the forum for about a week and it seems like in that time the haters have completely taken over! Why is Rush not aloud to write a song with a verse/chorus/bridge alignment (The Wreckers) or a song with a nice bouncy melody (Wish Them Well)? CA is a good if not great balanced record that the guys can be very proud of. I cannot believe that a Forum member would say, "I'd be embarrassed for Rush if they played that song on the radio." What a worthless, obnoxious thing to say. I'm sorry but seriously, as much as I hate Superconductor I would never say I was embarrassed for Rush.

I do rate it higher than anything that came after it. Their best album (material wise) since Presto is still VT, IMO.....then probably CA....

Very rarely does a Rush record get worse over time with me. I didn't like SnA very much at first listen and it's still not great but now it is more tolerable to me. I like about half.
