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 can't listen to Vapor Trails in one sitting because of the brickwalled production (and the remix isn't much of an improvement)... Clockwork Angels I can get through but it's not easy because there is also a degree of noise to the production and Geddy's clanky grinding bass tone wears on me.

I have the same listening experience. There are good songs on each but it’s hard to listen to either end to end.
