The wait was worth it 9

With some delay so now is finally Clockwork Angels before, and I must say: Rarely wait was worth it in such a way. My expectations (which of course are always very high in a band like Rush) were even exceeded. I found the last albums Snakes & Arrows as well as bulky Vapor Trails absolutely strong (though certainly with some weaknesses), but here expected a an absolutely fresh, with ideas only to be sprayed plant a sympathetic band that has more to prove anything to anyone.

Before highlights it teeming, and this does not even include the two surprisingly known for quite some time songs 'Caravan' and 'BU2B'. Great are more songs like the title track (to be 7.5 minutes at the same time the longest piece). 'Headlong Flight' could have been appearing in the seventies; here the guys go blithely dismissed as fresh Pennäler to work, perhaps also may be because that is brought here the reef of Bastille Day out of mothballs and again given for the best. 'Wish them well' is compared to a Rush ratios rather simple piece but what keeps it hanging in the ear immediately. As so often with rush we find the climax at the end of the disc. 'The Garden' is one of the most emotional songs of the band, here you sit paralyzed seven minutes before the pit and listen to the tunes that are almost painfully beautiful.

The CD is rounded off by a beautiful and artistic presentation and easy to read text, which is still the best copy.

Where this CD can be ultimately filed, is now impossible to say, but I do think that you will be in a few years can say that CA did not absolutely have to hide even in front of the old masterpieces.

I tip my hat to the old men!
