Narps Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I have trouble listening to CA as much as I had trouble listening to Vapor Trails before the remix and for much the same reason.Yep. There was something "different" and troubling about it but I couldn't put my finger on it and I listened to it a bunch. When Halo Effect or The Garden was coming up I was relieved to say the least. Great potential there but just missed in my view... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) I have trouble listening to CA as much as I had trouble listening to Vapor Trails before the remix and for much the same reason. Spoken like a true troll. Jk jk! Two albums that suffer with dodgy production rank alongside my top favourites: VT and Springsteen's Magic. My dislike (in comparison to other Rush albums) of CA is based on the dullness of it all. A couple of true highlights, some decent songs, and some dull filler do not a great album make. And that is how I see CA. SA has great production, and I like that a lot less! Edited June 6, 2015 by Segue Myles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think CA has dull filler, you think S&A's does too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best songs would be fillers on anything else. CA song for song is a much better album. The two aren't even close. SA is really unappealing to me, the only Rush album that lacks a single song I return to frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAccountant Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 MP....... TM..........CA I suppose? "checking" AH YES. there it is. lol. MickLast summer when I would walk the neighborhood I listened to CA a ton and thought it was pretty good overall (with the 3 or so skippers I have mentioned before). When I would switch to something "older" the difference in the production was stark and pleasurable to say the least. As I have stated there is a damn good 45 minute album there if the fat was cut and the production redone. Would be cool if they just did the latter someday at least... :) Got to agree with you on that one. Get rid of the filler and fix the production and it could be a really good album. Interestingly S & A has some of the same traits. Get rid of some of the filler and it would be a great album. Thankfully the production is not a problem with S & A. In may ways S & A is a mirror of CA. CA, IMO as I have said elsewhere, starts slow with 2 marginal songs and 3 skippers. Then it catch's fire. S & A starts out on fire (Far Cry, A & S, Working them Angeles, TMMB, The Larger Bowl, TWTWB - they all rock big time). Then you get the stinkers. However near the end of the album you get the wonderful Hope. Again a mirror of CA as in the middle of all the really good songs on CA you get a stinker in BU2B2. At least S & A closes with the strong "We Hold On". Combine the best of the 2 (with S & A production) and what an album you would have!! BTW - voted for MP. Its an easy pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
