I CAN LEARN TO RESIST

LOL. Also a youtube of all the songs, 30 second clips.

Very interesting. Sounds incredibly dark and intense, which is refreshing I guess.

Definitely better then the Walmart samples, but I'm gonna have to hear the whole songs to make any real judgement calls.

Rush is my favorite band and I've been really looking forward to CA but the samples don't do much for me. The Wreckers and The Garden sound like they'll be my favorites. I really hope these clips are bad representations of the album. I didn't really care for the samples for A Dramatic Turn of Events at first but I ended up loving it, so I hope its the same in this case.

Nick · « **Reply #2736 on:** June 03, 2012, 03:08:12 PM »

I'm not listening to the samples, but your story reminds me of Octavarium, I was very weary of the clips, but then I loved the album. Of course over time it ended up not aging well and became one of my least favorite DT albums. I hope you get the former without the latter.

The fan package supposedly has shipped.

If it gets here by Friday, I won't have to pick up another copy at the store Friday night.

Knowing my luck recently, I don't expect that will happen.

Hmmm, well I haven't received any emails from BurningShed about my Fan Pack shipping yet. I'd love it if it got here before next Saturday!

I am not gonna listen to these new 30-second samples, but there seems to be a lot of bickering about them at the Rush forum.

And based on some of the comments, I will reiterate my biggest fear about this album: Geddy's vocals. His voice isn't nearly what it used to be, and I worry that even good vocal melodies will have too much of that double-tracked yodeling that he has resorted to at times in recent years. I hope I am wrong, but his voice is not gonna magically get younger or better again. Time will tell...

jjrock88 · « **Reply #2740 on:** June 04, 2012, 01:40:19 AM »

How are most of you purchasing CA. Are you going to order it online or get it from a store? I plan on going to HMV as soon as they open.

Well, at this point I pretty much just use Itunes, so I've already pre-ordered it there, and it will download automatically the moment that it is available.

Amazon re-order

Got a Best Buy gift card burning in my pocket. After work, I'll pick it up.

Pre-ordered the deluxe package directly from Roadrunner.

I kinda wish Rush would become an instrumental band.

Any more rules broken in this thread will go straight to temp ban as this is people's general warning.

Pre-Ordered the Classic Rock Fan Pack from Burning Shed over a month ago. No shipment confirmation email yet, though, so I'm hoping I get one soon...

I'm going to guess Christmas came early for some people today.

My Christmas will be Friday, when I walk into the store and head to the register resisting all other temptation.

Fun interview with Geddy here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBZY_loemUw

Without giving it away, he and Alex have the same least favorite Rush song...

Nick · « **Reply #2753 on:** June 04, 2012, 06:12:52 PM »

Heh, good thing that wasn't on my list of songs to see live.

skydivingninja · « **Reply #2754 on:** June 04, 2012, 06:27:31 PM »

Not surprised at that choice.

KevShmev · « **Reply #2755 on:** June 04, 2012, 06:39:51 PM »

Okay, but is that song on anybody's list of songs they want to see played live?

That's a fantastic interview.

Oh Tai Shan... jeez, not even they like it.

KevShmev · « **Reply #2757 on:** June 04, 2012, 06:56:53 PM »

I actually like Tai Shan (I could easily name 20-30 Rush songs I like less or not at all), but I wouldn't want them to play it.

Phoenix87x · « **Reply #2758 on:** June 04, 2012, 07:09:44 PM »

I don't know the exact number, but out of the 130+ Rush songs, there's only 3 that I don't like. (Tai Shan, Dog Years and Super Conductor)

All others I can enjoy on some level, and about 90% of them I really do love.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #2759 on:** June 04, 2012, 07:26:11 PM »

I've never seen a good song take so much heat like Dog Years for the lyrics.

And yeah, Tai Shan is low on my list too.

KevShmev · « **Reply #2760 on:** June 04, 2012, 07:37:17 PM »

Yeah, Dog Years ain't that bad. It sure does rock if nothing else.

Rivendell... you like it?

theseoafs · « **Reply #2762 on:** June 04, 2012, 08:26:04 PM »

There's nothing wrong with Rivendell.

There ain't much right with it either.

That's pretty much it, just kinda goes on and on with nothing to hold on to.
