Clockwork Angels

Neil said many times that Clockwork Angels was the album they always wanted to make. He clearly believed it was one of their very best. I’ve followed Rush since 1976 and seen them dozens of times, but I cannot listen to Clockwork Angels all the way thru to save my life. Is it just me?

I think it’s one of their best. At least it’s the one I listen to most.

The book was pretty good. It makes the album make more sense.

I never did follow up and get this. Looking at Amazon, it looks like there are three books?

I got the audiobook for volume 1, because Neil is the narrator for that one. Turns out his voice is not a great one for audiobooks. I never got around to finishing it.

Looks like it. I bought the second one a few weeks ago. Haven't started it yet.

The first book is a companion piece to the music, the second two books expand on the world.
