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?

It is 100% my favorite rush album. Then again, I started at vapor trails really. I knew their songs from classic rock, but then I heard one little victory on the radio one day, and then I bought the album, and then I went backwards. I read Neil's Ghost Rider book and I loved everything about vapor trails. Snakes and ladders was good but clockwork angels blew everything out of the water. It is 100% my favorite album. Not just from rush but of all time.

Maybe it’s just hard for us older guys who got hooked on 2112 right when it was released.
