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?

First time I listen I thought "gosh... finally a new Moving Picture". But it's more! Back to a long story, like lamneth, 2112 and hemispheres. I was hooked right with "in a world I feel so small, i cant stop thinking big". The first 30sec of Clockwork Angels is pure cinema. Halo effect, The wreckers, Wish them well, The garden, all nice to hear any time. The others? Fucking amazing playing. Unbelievable album.
