Any Rush fans who don’t like this album don’t like the heavier Rush or haven’t listened to it. I can never work out which is my favourite on this album. The Anarchist probably isn’t, but I still love it. Great reaction Justjp.
Those of us that appreciated the denser songwriting of Vapor trails and snakes and arrows after Neil’s return (take a little longer to appreciate, but increasingly rewarding, at least for me), were not surprised when they put all the pieces together for this fantastic swan song. Anarchist is a banger and Alex’s Middle Eastern tinged guitar. Solo puts it over the top. It feels like you’re cascading down a mountain as lightning flares behind you it’s so menacing.
I appreciate this comment. I like VP and S&A, too. VP took me a longer than most to get used to but I love it. So many great tracks.
Clockwork Angels is their Prog metal album and their only full length concept album. The perfect final album, I recommend the songs Caravan, BU2B and The title track, great openings to the album.
No synth on this song actually they hired a string section and they took them on the road when they did it live which was amazing!!! This whole album in my honest opinion is probably their best work ever done. You really need to listen to it from start to finish because it's a true conceptional album ending with my favorite song of all time for Rush the garden.
When control and oppression in "Hemispheres" do exist. There is always a special role for the "Snakes and Arrows" of The Anarchist. Burn down, blow up, re-educate the powerful, the corrupt. Cynical people who do not feel. "A Farewell To Kings" and their "Counterparts" with the "Caress Of Steel"!!! Peace & Love.
Headlong flight is probably my favourite track from this album
When Geddy was asked to name his favourite Rush song 'Headlong Flight' was his answer!
After essentially giving up on the band in the early nineties, it was so comforting that they left us with such a remarkable return to form. Despite what i considered too many duff albums in their latter years, i will always love Rush for the truly unique outfit they were!
You should do Headlong Flight, the titular track, and The Garden from this album if you haven't already. But to truly enjoy these songs, you gotta listen to the entire album. It's a concept album and one of their best works, as a whole, in general.
Check out the concert video for this album. String section for the "Angels" songs. Fantastic.
JP. You're on the right track. Want to find out what the Anarchist does?
Well, you'll need to listen to the next song on the album called "Carnies".
Great reaction! I still get chills remembering driving through the California canyons listening to Available Light. Heading back to the East Coast in the middle of the night.
This is one that really thrashed me on first listen, the arabic swoons, the coherent anger, it seems to be consciously harnessing this energy rather than pointlessly expending it. This album is an unreal magnum opus, a glorious swan song of a piece. Maybe the best last album by any group.
In the field of rock music, i'm inclined to agree.
So true, relevant and creative to the end. Can't think of any other bands that did it this way.
The Anarchist in the storyline is the villain that is up to no good. Yes, I really like this song off the album. Halo Effect is another one that is a fav.
I think he meant the Anarchist and the Watchmaker to both be villains, trying to bend the protagonist to their extremes, not unlike Apollo and Dionysus in Hemispheres. I suspect actually that they might be the same person, or working together. All distopias need a scapegoat so the Watchmaker supplies one. Maybe I'm reading too much onto it.
Clockwork Angels is definitely an album you need to listen to from beginning to end. It is an incredible album, and the strongest album put out in 20 years before they disbanded.
THE Eric Burt is happy for the shoutout lol. Love watching your reactions. Grand designs, available light, every day glory are some lesser known Rush songs I really love.
Hey Justin, Rush finished up really strong with Snakes and Arrows and Clockwork Angels.
There’s always a 👍 in my ❤️ for Rush.
Might want to call a doctor. That don't seem healthy.
@@jxchamb😅 I’ve been alive this long and it hasn’t bothered me, yet. If I’m going to go, death by music is a good way to it! ⚱️
Really nice reaction JP...My fave track of their last 3 albums and maybe since Force Ten from Hold Your Fire...this song is a roaster🤘
I know: let's listen to some Rush! I'm in a bad mood already so it's not like I'm spoiling much...
This concept album is exceptional. Neil has written a book to accompany the story as well. When listening to these songs it’s important to remember it’s all in the same universe. The anarchist is against the watchmaker and the clockwork angels
Hey JP, joined after seeing you with Nick and Lex, great collab. I see you have already done Headlong Flight, if you haven't seen the wingsuit diving video with this as background, watch it !!
Hi John! Thanks, I havent checked out the video
The 2:00 and 3:55 mark (in your video) always reminds me of 'Turn a Square' by The Shins to me. It's always a fun listen, and thanks for sharing it with us! I've missed listening to Rush with you.
Good solid listen.
You need to do Permanent Waves.
I like Rush, but right now I'm going to Wawa for a coffee.
Was just there yesterday 😁
Late period Rush is far superior to late period Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd and, imo, superior to anything they did in the 90s. This isn't too adventurous but is solid rock.
What do you mean by "late period of YES"? They've only just really started🏁
Not bad, if perhaps a tad long. Largely quintisential Rush, but there were snippets that had an almost goth feel to them. And the secondary vocal popping up reminded me of Sabbath. Still, overall not bad.
I don't think this is one of the stronger tracks on the album.
It's more of a metal sound than I like, just a wall of sound. I suspect you're right about Geddy's weakened vocals, I think they've been treated on this track as well. An album I've only played once, too loud for my aging ears.
Not bad, but not great either as far as I'm concerned, because musically it's déjà vu for Rush, plus the sound is rather compressed (although less so than their previous three albums) and I've had trouble memorising their melodies since Test For Echo included. There's no denying that Counterparts was Rush's last great album.
Incorrect. This excellent swansong was after years of mediocrity!
@@Owlstretchingtime78 No way! Still better than Snakes & Arrows, Vapor Trails and Test for Echo combined, but pale in comparison to the brilliant Counterparts!
@@a.k.1740 Disagreement time AGAIN! 😉
@@Owlstretchingtime78 ...and I agree to disagree on this occasion!😉
Without Geddy's RANGE (or some other reason) , the melodies became pretty unimaginative and stagnant. For any ALTOS, it's like the BORING parts you get stuck singing too often!
Not much melody is there? 😀
I love Rush but YUCK to Vapor Trails and everything beyond.
This was more generic than Dollar Tree toaster pastries.
