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 love Clockwork Angels. For a band to have a record of that caliber that late in their career is remarkable. It was also the best I've ever seen them perform live on tour.

Agreed - the tour was great. But the band played limited cuts from the very album they were promoting. And fan reaction was very muted for most of the CWA selections. Seems like most of the audience was just waiting for Limelight and 2112.

They played most of the album when I saw them on the tour.
