Narps Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) This is extremely difficult. Both albums rank very closely for me. Like TM said, Clockwork Angels simply has more to enjoy, but that doesn't deny the greatness of Permanent Waves. I knew that CP was your favorite but I just didn't realize you weren't a big fan of their halcyon days. :)Most fans of the Halcyon days, were living in them. Some, like myself, don't have that experience. So perhaps that impacts the significance of the early albums for me Fair point. Never thought of that before.Believe it or not I have. Many of the younger folks don't hold the 74' - 81'ish era in as high a regard as those who actually lived it. For the most part I "get it"...

Tombstone Mountain Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I'm not rating albums based on their "importance for the band's career" or the memories of it being releasedI don't think everyone can say that...feelin' some reminiscing going on with most of these threads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) I'm not rating albums based on their "importance for the band's career" or the memories of it being released. Simply songs against songs.But in fairness to the subject matter at hand you didn't live them and they aren't "burned in your brain" like an old fart such as myself. I wouldn't expect you to revere them as I do... Edited June 6, 2015 by Narps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people adore CoS-AFTK because of their songs, not the memories or importance of their existence. I'm just not one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 I hVe to believe that anyone that votes CA is a troll on this and the next one. I think Tombstone's THE BIGGEST troll at least with CA Actually the biggest trolls would be those who say CA lacks imagination and creativity, or it's a completely average work. Trolls are the people who would say that the album is all rehashed shit, or boring. Those are the trolls Mick. Another good example would be someone saying it's a "chore" to listen to Headlong Flight. Troll Squad has you and Segue as CA Troll captains, with a few bench players. I have done nothing except try to be nice to you, confronting you when offended and all you can do is say stuff like this. I will continue to be kind but my patience has definitely run out.

The Analog Cub Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Guys come on...I think everyone needs to chill out and maybe step away for a bit. Fighting over a Rush album??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 They pop up because: A) it's the most recent album B) it's one of the bands most divisive releases C) it's great for discussion, especially lately 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) I heard the seventies' Rush albums (that includes Permanent Waves) in their entirety just a few years ago. I can't be accused of nostalgia. Or emotional attachment. They are great albums. It matters not when you discover them. Their greatness is evident regardless.

And some CA "haters" also happen to enjoy SA, and others VT. The band existed for nearly 40 years as a studio band prior to CA, I am pretty certain many here still qualify as true fans regardless of their view on CA. Nostalgia plays no role in my enjoyment of CA. I happen to like it more than a fair few Rush albums. Edited June 6, 2015 by Segue Myles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) Would you all like me to dig up one of the old Speed of Love bashing threads? It would be a real "bonding" moment for many of you. :) Except for me. I like the song. Still do. Listened to it for the first time in a while yesterday.

x1yyz Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I did vote for Permanent Waves here, but the decision was tough. PeW won only because it was the first Rush album I heard, thus holds a very special place in my heart. Every song is fantastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed of Love (and Counterparts, really) gets a lot of hate, but I understand it. It took a lot of time for me to find things about it that I liked. The guitar work is what makes me appreciate it. Reminds me of Grace Under Pressure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unforgivably underrated, but as I said at the start of this thread, I understand how my favourites can divide opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
