I'm hypocritical to an extent since I'm so poor usually that I end up going there since a lot of stuff there is far cheaper than it'd be at less evil retailers. Imo they just aren't good for the economy since they drive a lot of independent retailers/grocers out of business but pay their employees peanuts and(I'll work on confirming this) I had heard about them paying migrant labor far less than minimum wage to clean floors overnight when closed(once again...HEARD this, not saying I can confirm it as of this moment.)

Edit: While I only skimmed it, the article confirms the migrant labor bit as well as numerous unethical practices with the staff but I didn't see anything about whether they made less than minimum wage or not. Considering they could've legally paid anyone who is legal to work in this country minimum wage but still opted to risk what ultimately resulted in the biggest fine in a civil immigration case ever($11,000,000) it seems like a brief connecting the dots points right to paying them less than minimum wage.

Walmart is convenient for me. Plus it's either that or the grocery store I work at. A lot of the times, WM has the better prices. Fry's can be up to 3 or 4 dollars more expensive on certain things which is just wrong. Walmart could be slowly sucking my life force out like a succubus, but I gotta eat and wipe my ass.

My biggest problem with Wal-Mart is that they sell only censored music. Or at least, they used to, I haven't bought a single CD from Wal-Mart in the ten years since I learned that, but apparently it's 'okay' to sell extremely violent video games and movies, but music with the word 'fuck' in it is bad, bad, bad!

So yeah, I'm also a poor, hypocritical piece of shit, but fuck Wal-Mart.

Looks like the DVD/BR is set for a September 27th release and will be called "Time Machine".

I'd love for this to come out then, but I think it will likely be pushed back a bit.

It will be cool though to have this be the centerpiece of Rushashana on VH-Classic

DVD pushed back to November 8? ( https://www.rushisaband.com )

If ever a joint tour were to occur with DT... Well, there are no words to describe how

that would be.

Great news!! But waddaya know... ANOTHER live album coming out. 'nuff is enough.

Gadough · « **Reply #1323 on:** September 04, 2011, 07:07:59 PM »

I've come to the following conclusion:

Grace Under Pressure > Signals

Mainly because I like every song on Grace Under Pressure, while Signals has two songs I don't really care for (Chemistry and Countdown).

Pols Voice · « **Reply #1324 on:** September 04, 2011, 07:15:03 PM »

I like GUP more than Signals too. There's an urgency to it that Signals is lacking, plus I like the production better. The first four tracks on GUP is one of the best runs Rush ever had. I do like Signals though.

Gadough · « **Reply #1325 on:** September 04, 2011, 07:16:28 PM »

*sees that Nick is viewing this thread*

Also forgot to mention, Kid Gloves is AWESOME.

Nick · « **Reply #1326 on:** September 04, 2011, 07:27:14 PM »

Well Drew, since you asked for it...

Signals > Grace Under Pressure.

While Signals is strong all around, with Chemistry being one of the best tracks on the album, Grace Under Pressure has Kid Gloves and Red Lenses, and both are sub-par by Rush standards. Though both albums have two big favorites of mine, Subdivisions, and The Enemy Within.

Love GUP, though they're both my favorites from the 80's, synth era of Rush.

And yes, Kid Gloves is awesome.

MasterShakezula · « **Reply #1328 on:** September 04, 2011, 09:05:29 PM »

Kid Gloves is my favorite song on GUP.

I prefer Sigs over Grace, but I prefer them both over almost all pre-80 Rush and all post-84 Rush.
