That song is absolutely beautiful. Great imagery, it build perfectly, amazing musicianship...

I agree- this song always blows me away when I listen to it. The complexity of the music is astounding, I love the use of polyrhythm and polymeter on this album.

A soaring, magnificently beautiful album, so clean and brilliant. Just an f'ing monster of an album, excuse the french. I pine for such Rush greatness.

Which boggles my mind since Clockwork Angels is, IMO, their greatest work since this album—nostalgia aside.

 

Agreed (about CA).

If only Rush could muster the energies and creativity to produce another masterpiece. 31 years is far too long. Bring Terry along for another science/science-fiction-themed dream.

Yep....

I agree Terry Brown needs to come back...

 

...but CA is very close to being a masterpiece...and would the chemistry still be the same after all these years?

 

I played this album again yesterday. Entre Nous and Jacobs Ladder really stood out as great this time.

Biblical album. Pure rush at their awesome best. Not a single note out of place. Composed by the gods. even the artwork magnificent. we truly are not worthy :)

 

Biblical post. Pure accuracy at its awesome best. Not a single letter out of place. Composed by a lover of the gods. Even the wording magnificent. We truly are not worthy! :cool:

You forgot the OBLIGATORY introduction of Jacob's Ladder as a song written by T.C. Broonsie.

True, but Xanadu and 2112 add up to about half an hour—enough for five to six normal-length Rush songs. Not that it matters or anything, it's still awesome.

One big flaw:

 

No Tai Shan? ;-)

Or Toto covers?

 

I know right! That would be one funky gig!

 

Heres hoping they cover Rosanna...

Not a weak song...Freewill is one of the catchiest rockers of the eighties, and it does it without being cheesy!

Was listening to it only yesterday, great album

Natural Science blew me away when I first heard it (and still does to some degree)

 

I can still remember coming back from the record shop with my older brother clutching my copy in its paper bag!!

Happy times :sundog:
