Tuesday's Gone Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) I tried CA yesterday. Damn that production. God it's so awful. A clean up would help man i swear. MickYep... ^^^^ and just to cover myself. I do not think it's an awful record. there's stuff in there with potential. I just want to hear it, lol Mick Sums up perfectly how I feel about CA. I only listened to it once due to the production. Too painful to listen to for me, no matter how much I turn the volume down.

Lorraine Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Don't forget, no matter what anyone thinks of Moving Pictures, it is the album that finally got Rush out of debt once and for all. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddy's Soul Patch Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) I do believe however that it is possible that Caress Of Steel could be ones favorite i.e. LedRush... No chance Narp. We're all fans, so we can listen to it and enjoy the experience. To say it is the apex of their creativity and performance? Cut it out.I mean that it could be ones "favorite". Everyone knows AFTK is definitively their best work... :) Meh, AFTK needs more cowbell. Xanadu contains the single greatest cowbell performance of all time :smoke: Edited July 7, 2015 by Geddy's Soul Patch 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I've been reading quite a few of the posts in topics like "Rank the Rush Albums" or "What is the Most Underrated Album" recently. Let's stipulate that music is subjective, so every one has and is entitled to their own opinion about what they like and why. Some people love Signals (I do) while others do not. Some people love Hold Your Fire while others do not (like me). But . . . I've seen more than a few folks suggest that their favorite Rush album of all time is Hold Your Fire. Or Caress of Steel. In a similar vein, I've seen people place Test For Echo higher than Moving Pictures in a ranking of the band's discography. I get it. "Real fans" love to say they don't like Tom Sawyer or Limelight because they've heard them too many times. Like everyone else, I like variety in what I listen to, and sometimes I'm not in the mood to listen to Permanent Waves. But there is a difference ( :finbar: ) between saying you need a change of pace from listening to a particular song or album, and suggesting that your own fatigue with a song diminishes its quality. Like it or not, Tom Sawyer is an amazing tune. It's the reason that we all own Counterparts, but chances are the person next to you at the coffee shop, if he or she is a rock fan, owns Moving Pictures. So knock it off. If you have everything Rush ever released on your iPhone all the time, by all means, listen to Vapor Trails and Roll the Bones today. But if you were being banished to a desert island, and you only could take one Rush album to listen to for the rest of your life, you're not taking Caress of Steel. You know it. :) There is a lot of truth in what you've posted. I think an important to distinguish what is your "favorite" versus what is the "best." I went through a period of time where I preferred to listen to synth and 90s Rush because it still had a degree of newness to me. At that time, I might have said Power Windows was my favorite album..........but even at that time I would still ranking Moving pictures as the better album. Another observation- on an internet forum, people are often looking for attention or trying to stif something up, and like to flaunt their own "unique" tastes. This is not necessarily a bad thing, it certainly helps to start conversation But not everyone will think the "best" is the same as you. Personally I think Clockwork Angels is their best. I'm not doing that for attention, it is, in my opinion, their best work. These are all subjective, you can't say that Moving Pictures is objectively the best work, because so many huge fans can disagree on that.May I ask how old you are or at least when you became a fan? Its just for a survey I am doing for a book I am writing regarding this forum and Rush fandom in general... :) ... You're not wearing your ID tag today, Narps? I'd help you out, but ..... :codger: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I was at the Spectrum in Philadelphia Sept 25, 1980 when I first heard "Tom Sawyer" - I'm not sure how many times they had played it live, but at that point, it couldn't have been more than a handful .. I didn't like it then, and I still don't like it .... I have heard Xanadu mnay many many more times, and still love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
