Segue Myles Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 AFTK loses to CA. The amount of epic tracks on CA puts it on top. The AnarchistCarniesHalo EffectSeven Cities Of GoldThe WreckersThe GardenBU2BCaravanWish Them Well How are any of these more epic than A Farewell To Kings, Xanadu or Cygnus X-1? As for CA's title track and Headlong Flight, how are they more epic than Xanadu alone? As for songs like Carnies, The Wreckers, BU2B2 or The Garden, how can they top songs as classic and timeless as Cinderella Man, or Closer To The Heart? And as a segue to the next track, come on, their is now way that BU2B2 tops Madrigal? Seriously, there is absolutely NOTHING on CA that outdoes AFTK. You go well overboard with CA, and when it comes to the greatness of AFTK, so do I!Hey why can't you just be respectful of my opinion? All you do is preach CA bashing Dude...I responded exactly how you do to us ALL THE TIMEWay ahead of you bro. But seriously dude, AFTK is the one Rush album above all Rush album I will defend to my grave, and any offence you took from me is not intended. And considering you deleted the rest of my last post, that sole line when taken out of context makes it sound a lot worse than I actually meant it too. Dude...what is the point of polls if we only give but cannot take? There will be more than one album from me to get outvoted by CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 AFTK. This is like comparing the finest wine to like… mud. CA was recorded in a mud pit ya know. Mick I think on headphones CA comes to life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Speaking of coming to life and headphones, I think I will listen to the one and only AFTK right now! :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick I think on headphones CA comes to life... CA a decent album with a bunch of fine songs, but requires a full bottle of excedrin to listen to with the phones on. Kings is a timeless masterpiece. I wish I were allowed to comment on these two with respect to current Rush news, which would put this thread into laser focus, words chosen carefully...but Admin and mods have their rules. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hard to believe the album is 47 years old. It is timeless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Okay, so I should probably give a bit of input here.A Farewell To Kings=Magic, genius, insta classic, Xanadu, Broon, best Rush album of all time...the list goes onClockwork Angels=Insta classic, loud, Headlong Flight, awesome, late career giant...list goes on A Farewell To Kings wins.

Segue Myles Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Playing AFTK as I type. There are currently only five Rush albums I deem perfect: AFTK, HYF, MP, Hems and VT, but if there was only one f these five I could take to a desert island, AFTK would be it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to play Hems now Cygnus and Xanadu are two songs that I think encompass the true essence of who the band was back in the early days. They have never truly recaptured that again, which is a shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
