vital signz Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I only have two complaints that prevent this from being a near perfect album. 1. The opening of BU2B being changed. Alex's guitar does not sound like it "belongs" to the sound of the album. Geddy's spooky voice is way too similar to the very next song, Clockwork Angels' opening sounds... It all is highly unnecessary in my opinion ...... But if I had been producing this album I would have either had them try to make the new opening completely different sounding than that of Clockwork Angels first half a minute, or deleted it altogether and gone with the original song, just maybe remixed it. 2. BU2B2 is just so off. Geddy's voice would have had effects on it for one thing to make it more surreal. It is the only vocal performance on the record I do not like. The strings I don't mind so much, but the whole arrangement is a bit meh. So that is a grand total of about 2 minutes out of a 66 minute album. Otherwise, this album is fourth in the catalog for me. Moving Pictures Permanent Waves Hemispheres Clockwork Angels I am happy you were wrong too Goob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowItIs Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 QUOTE (rushgoober @ Jul 26 2012, 09:04 AM) Awhile back I started a somewhat infamous thread that I was dreading the release of CA. At the time I said: QUOTE I know "dread" is a strong word to use, but I'm just not looking forward to what I fear will be yet another late career, sub-standard release. Some will say I'm setting myself up for disappointment, but I feel if anything I'm trying to prevent myself from being disappointed by keeping my expectations, based on my experience with the album so far, in check. I'd rather be pleasantly surprised than have unrealistic expectations crushed. At the time I really didn't care for Caravan & BU2B, and while I liked Headlong Flight, I wasn't loving it either. Somehow, magically, Headlong Flight really grew on me, and the first two tracks suddenly were brilliant when put into context. I truly didn't think context could save those songs, but they did. Other than that, this is just an incredibly strong album. I listen to it in amazement each time, waiting for the other shoe to drop and for me to suddenly see it as mediocre, but it simply doesn't happen! If anything, it just keeps giving and giving and getting better and better with one great song after another! There was a thread shortly before CA was released where people got to predict what numerical ranking the album would get. I gave it a 5, and then after I thought about it, thought 4 was more realistic. Now that it's out, I give it a solid 8.5 out of 10. No, 8.5 is not a 10, but for them to make an album THAT good at this stage in their career I consider a miracle! I was hoping against hope for 2 or 3 great songs, and I was skeptical I'd get that. In reality, there are at least 8 or 9! I said in a recent thread: QUOTE I was the first person to say that I really hoped I was wrong about the upcoming album, that I would love it, that I never wanted to not like or love a Rush album. I just didn't think it was possible. I also maintained when people tried to pigeonhole me as being too prejudiced against new Rush to like it, or to admit to liking it if I did, that I would give it more than a fair shot and listen objectively. I did. I'm not going to deny myself great Rush if I hear it because of being unwilling to let go of preconceived notions or maintaining some kind of image. F*ck that! Sometimes it's awesome to be wrong. Clockwork Angels rocks! http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f72/rushgoober5/rushgoober2/banana3.gif http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f72/rushgoober5/rushgoober2/banana30.gif http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f72/rushgoober5/rushgoober2/banana3.gif http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f72/rushgoober5/rushgoober2/banana30.gif http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f72/rushgoober5/rushgoober2/banana3.gif http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f72/rushgoober5/rushgoober2/banana30.gif http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f72/rushgoober5/rushgoober2/banana3.gif http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd103/laserspray/internet%20stuff/smilies/gimme5.gif Love ya, Goob!
