rugen Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 BU2B2 I wouldn't call this a song, but an interlude before the storm. It's a break. a time to relax. I don't see many people dislike this one minute song I do. And that's my point about the "one minute interlude." They wasted it. It could have been developed into a beautiful song. It has so much potential, and is unlike anything they ever did before. Yes, maybe we will see a suite BU2B3 on the next release. They could have made a more complete song with at least three more minutes. But the most terrible decision they made was to put Wish Them Well on the album My feelings as well. Sometimes I think that most of their albums would have done a lot better if they only had a few quality songs rather than having a few, or most, quality songs and junk thrown in because they thought, or were told, they had to have more songs to fill the CD. And those songs were written after their creative flow was severely clogged and they had to force out more songs long after they had tapped the best. That's the only explanation I can think of as to why they have some really bad songs amid the good ones. Yes, CA should have been a 45 minutes album, Snakes a 20 minutes and Vapor Trails should not have been recorded... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a ten minute album would suffice. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talented men they are, but even talent has limits. If you don't like an album, you don't like it. Why force it? And why let others who do like it intimidate any one of us, or try to shame any one of us, into liking it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket ignites Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 For me it's... CA - Layered to death and loud, but I do love the songs. Snakes - Underrated as hell. Yes, I know...it plods...too many songs...they all sound alike..blah, blah, blah... VT - Sometimes I love it. sometimes I don't...the remix confuses me more...that is why I have it 3rd.

Rushman2112 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) The more I listen to Clockwork Angels, the more I am impressed with it. The last song that I wasn't sure about was "The Wreckers", but I've come around on that one as well. The more I listen to Vapor Trails and Snakes & Arrows, the songs I like and the songs I don't like are becoming more polarized. My vote was for CA. My feelings regarding the other two are very similar. CA is the best since at least Signals. Edited September 12, 2015 by Rushman2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I really like all 3 of them. There are some naff moments on each but overall I really enjoy all of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 This is actually rather easy at this point. 1 S & A2. CA3. VT (remix)4. VT (original) I really have to list the original VT and the remix separately as they are such different records. Same songs but due to the remixing they are just so so different that they are totally different versions of the songs. Note that S & A is comfortably ahead of CA, which is way better that the remix of VT, which is way better than the original version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disk98 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Clockwork Angels is a sheer masterpiece. Vapor Trails is also great, but CA gets my vote. As for Snakes…well, it's…okay, I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
