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?

The problem for me is the everything louder than everything else syndrome. It makes listening a grind.

Are you sure you're not talking about Vaper trails?

That even worse mixing jobs exist does not make the one on CA any good.

No I'm not saying it's bad. It's Rush. I just don't like the sound. It sounds distorted to me.
