ZachenFoot Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Really confused about his failure on CA.That's on the band. They wanted it to sound that way, don't you think? I would agree, since Rush plays such a strong role in the production of the album. I'm not sure I do, though. I've listened to Nick's other productions and recent efforts all have similar problems. I loved Mastodon's new album but much like CA, it's just a wall of noise. Same goes for recent AIC efforts. I would blame the band if I didn't see the trend in other Nick R. productions.

I'm a bit of an audophile so I can't help but be picky. That said, if the songs are good, I can overlook bad production. Which is the case for CA.

Please don't associate Rush with scatological "humor" and references to human body excretory functions. Please respect the boys' work. :baabaa: Edited July 26, 2014 by Spaghetti Lee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Barchetta Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I voted S&A just because I can listen to it without turning all the bass down to "0." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) Not even close for me: Clockwork Angels. Snakes And Arrows is a a beautifully produced album made up of underwhelming material. The Way The Wind Blows, The Larger Bowl, Faithless and Armor And Sword stand out as close to great, but this is the only Rush album without a single song on it I could label essential. Clockwork Angels, on the other hand, is beautiful. Not perfect, as I think the bands classic material is unbeatable, but CA is full of fantastic Rush songs, and Caravan, Headlong Fkught, Seven Cities Of Gold and The Garden are classics. Without this album, I doubt I would be a massive fan today. Edited July 26, 2014 by Segue Myles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John V Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) Snakes & Arrows. By a large margin.Its just better music. Sorry, just my observation. And I have given CA plenty spins to be certain this is how I really feel.I however do like CA better now, then I did when it was first released. But S&A is still the better album. One more thing. I think there are plenty more on here that feel just like I do. But do not want to publicly say so. For fear of the Rush "experts".

ytserush Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Snakes and Arrows only flaw is that Clockwork Angels came after it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Hhhmmm @John V, Your opinion intrigues me...maybe I should give SA another shot and see if I can hear what the SA supporters are saying...I admit he last time I played it it sounded better than I remembered, so maybe I should give it mire of my time!

Pound of Obscure Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I ignore the existence of Snakes. An entire album of drivel and vomitus. Far Cry is good. But even it lacked the solo for which it begged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaghetti Lee Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 The last time I tried to listen to Snakes and Arrows I literally felt transposed...to an 8 hour Indonesian polystyrene chemical seminar discussing the 724 different substrates used in exterior vertical force insulators. I was so traumatized at the end that I thought I was Frank Cannon disarming a whippersnapper with his rotund belly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
