Segue Myles Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 It is annoying to continue to talk about bad mixes on Rush albums. I agree with everyone about the overall brick layered sound on CA. Everyone had the same conversation about Vapor Trails, RTB, Presto, and Hold Your Fire. What is REALLY annoying is that the only 2 Rush albums after Power Windows that sound crisp are Test for Echo and Snakes and Arrows, which also happen to be two of the worst Rush albums of all-time in terms of song quality. It's a if when they make a great album, they decide to flush the mixing down the toilet, but when the song quality sucks they decide to really nail the mixing. What's REALLY REALLY annoying is that 3 gifted, talented, musical geniuses seem to be on a completely different planet from their listeners as to what a well mixed, crisp sounding album should sound like. Geddy: We have some really kick ass stuff here Alex, how should we approach the mastering?Alex: I don't know, but as long as it doesn't sound like Moving Pictures or Permanent Waves I'm goodGeddy: Yeah, those albums are just painful to listen to. I was listening to Hold Your Fire the other day and really love how distant and muddled it sounds. Let;s approach Clockwork the same way.Alex: Sounds good Ged. Have you listened to St. Anger by Mettalica? Really like their approach on that one.Geddy: Spot on Big AlNeil: Good Luck guys. I'm outta here. If you're so annoyed, why are you still reading the forum? ;)He loves Rush, just isn't a fanboy. Like us! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 the Garden is overblown bad cheese. Mick I agree. Not smelly cheese, but cheese just the same. It's one of those songs that sounds like it's been done a million times before. Very predictable, which to me seems very un-Rush. i raved about it at first. but the more i thought about it. Bad song for Rush. and if that's the last album. not a song a band like Rush needs to go out on. Mick I did as well, but this style of song has been done better. By both Rush and many other bands. If it wasn't a Rush song, I doubt anyone would care. Actually, that goes for the whole of CA. Bingo. Who outside of Rush fans knows CA Blip on the radar really.

Jaminbenb Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 To respond to the original question...YES! It's a great album... IMHO, not quite as good as Snakes & Arrows (for the later Rush stuff that's actually decent) But I think it's a really good album, and I enjoy listening to it a LOT more than some of the late 80's early 90's albums! I think they came across rather well live...and really just wished that they would have done the WHOLE album on it's tour instead of skipping a few tunes.
