RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted Thursday at 10:43 Share Posted Thursday at 10:43 (edited) It was too early this morning to do an unboxing type of video . It was 8.15am and I was just about to have a shower., and this turned up via DHL! Times are tough , but on 5th of November I had to make a somewhat rash decision while in bed . 🛏️ . I couldn't see UK currency , so had to ask Rhino 🦏what the chances of this being available in the UK. This was after trawling the internet with no success . I didn't have to pay import duties or anything like that thankfully . It's now sold out as it's ltd edition of 3,000 copies . Tbh it shouldn't really be unavailable in this country , and I don't know why it isn't . I feel sorry for those who didn't get one. That may change . Who knows ? Anyway thought I'd share 🙂 Edited Thursday at 20:17 by RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Valdemar Posted Thursday at 11:34 Share Posted Thursday at 11:34 Are these remixes/remasters? Presto would really benefit from one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe they are . Thee vinyl is weighty and heavy though. Just checked Rhino website 🦏,and still available if anyone's interested . Agree about Presto . I will give it a spin later . The album that is most popular in this boxset is of course Counterparts ! That apparently , was their first album to be marketed heavily for cd release . That album on vinyl is not cheap , so I'm glad to eventually get it . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwork Angels is rather good. I went to a hi-fi shop with it and the chap there said "Rush: there'll be no deep bass in that"; put it on and some of the bass pedals work made his eyes pop!

Clockwork Angels, Snake & Arrows and Vapour Trails are well worth listening to IMO. IMO, Counterparts is a bit hit & miss. Again, IMO, only "Animate" is a classic, the rest are either merely "OK" or mediocre. Of course, this is my opinion, and you may not agree.

It's a bit eccentric. Although Animate is one of my least favourite Rush songs 😄 I find Vapor Trails a bit of a dense mess - even remixed - but S&A was a real return to form, and what else is there to say about Clockwork Angels? A magnificent farewell. Edited 8 hours ago by Cosmo Valdemar Idiot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago I’m not keen on the production of the last 3 albums, too dense and mushy. That said Far Cry is one of my all time fave, Rush tracks. I know that Presto and Roll the Bones are often reviled in the Rush community, but I really like them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted 8 hours ago Author Share Posted 8 hours ago Well, I was going to play one of the albums yesterday to start with. Alas , there was a scraping noise on my turntable ! New belt ordered , and received this morning . I'll fit it on tomorrow , and give it a spin . I have all the Rush releases. The album which I like the least , seems to be Snakes And Arrows. Far Cry is brilliant though ! I like Vapour Trails . I have to be in the mood for clockwork Angels , but a good album nonetheless . I find Test For Echo,patchy . Starts off great . As for Presto , Alex Lifeson went a bit too much U2 in the solos imho . Roll The Bones to a while to grow on me . I do wonder how Rush can improve the thin production of those 2 albums 🤔. I don't think I'd buy the remastered versions if they released them , as I have the various remastered Cd's . I have a Japanese copy of Presto on cd which is the best of the bunch of those imho . Enough for now .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
