Anything with that much nautical thematics can only be Mastodon haha. Have heard others compare it to Leviathan and can very much see where they’re getting that. Liked the song, need to listen more times to see if I really like it though.

Super heavy and dark as fuck. Killer album

The great jams make up for the not so great jams.... my favorite is probably Spin The Black Circle....I remember 1st hearing that song when I Got the CD....its gave me chills! Great jam!💪 It's probably my 2nd favorite after Ten. Close to Versus😮

It sounds like it is a mastodon song because it mainly is, outside of the Randy vocals and the first solo the rest is all mastodon, Brann said the main riffs for the song were actually written in 2006. So it’s basically a mastodon song with LOG features for vocals and 1st solo. Also Randy and Troy’s vocals went together really well, I’d love to see Randy become the new Scott Kelly and have a vocal feature on every mastodon record

Banger

Ufff hopefully & wishing they will play it together when I see them next week 🤞🏻🤘🏻

I just relistened to AFI “Black Sails” thru “DecemberUnderground.” “Sing the Sorrow” is probably their best!

I saw Linkin Park in concert on the tour for this album. Incubus and Mutemath opened. As for any bad albums from Linkin Park, One More Light is the worst and it sucks that it's the last one with Chester in the band.

Yeah you look like a fuckin nerd

One of the best albums ever

If you count the individual chapters of the epics, you actually have 12 songs, so i would have liked to see them evaluate it like that instead of flushing a whole side of an album. I think Fountain Of Lamneth is one of their best epics for sheer vast sweep and experimentation. And I Think I'm Going Bald gets a bad rap cuz people can't imaging Rush having a sense of humour.

I mean, he's a rockstar, hes made a mistake, i wouldn't say it makes him a bad guy, at least he admitted it.

Production was the main issue with this album I feel (a common problem for Rush, they often did not sound as powerful as they do live, many albums sound kind of small and not enough room sound, too much DI type of sound and muted drums). Geddy's vocals on this album also needed more attention, he is pitchy and often just shrieking. A lot of the music is great though, Alex plays amazing on it as does Neil. Some of it is a bit too hokey and Dungeons and Dragons for sure, they were able to nail the concept album w 2112 and Hemispheres. They probably should have made another hard rock album with individual songs versus doing the concept thing, they were not quite ready for that yet. But it is an important part of their history and does have youthful charm for sure.

This was their best album. They have never topped it

He couldn't resist the temptations of the rock and roll lifestyle.

Que feo le quedó 🤦🏻‍♀️

There goes my hero 🫠

There goes my hero 🥴 another fallen hero 🤦🏻‍♀️ que metida de pata fea 🫠😵‍💫

Never was "That Bad" -it's a great album. Every song. STP had developed a sound and they wanted to stick with it. In my mind STP went the route of AIC as William Duvall had similarities vocally to Layne, yet still a sound of his own, like Jeff. Why? One reason is because they have a catalog of classic songs that will be sung by the new singer live. And Jeff Gutt (Pronounced GOOT) does justice to those songs live, but also upon repeat listens to new material he clearly has his own distinctive voice. Another reason is because if they had a singer that didn't sound anything like Scott...everyone would be complaining that they don't sound like STP.

Power trio

We wouldn’t have 2112 without Caress of Steel. I really enjoy this album, it’s such a building block towards where they wanted to go.

I never enjoyed much off this album. Like you, I also thought there seemed some inklings of what we came to know as Rush, but that's about it. Even the cuts y'all liked, I didn't. Neil lamented their public musical development, and this is the kind of stuff I believe he was talking about. No band could ever get away with doing this nowadays. But that was then, and Rush happened since...

Great interview with God Dethroned Hector! Great insight on their new album, I'll check it out 🤘🏻🤘🏻

It's my second fav after Power Windows. Like all their albums except Vapour trails. The mix killed it for me, it gave me a head ache after 20 or so mins.

I always thought it was one of Rushs’ weakest album . I think they were hard driving and rocking . This came in with bastille day but then it fizzled off . I tho k the production was weak and the mix was off. Less guitar driving and less hard drums.

My favorite Rush album, burned bales to the second side as a kid.

If there were no "Fountain of Lamneth" there would never have been "2112." In the middle of that suite is one of the tenderest love songs ever written, Panacea. And Bacchus Plateau is just...muah (chef's kiss). "The Fountain of Lamneth" is a friggin' MASTERPIECE for this young band. So what if I told you the inspiration for "I Think I'm Going Bald" was actually Gene Simmons? ("At least to my taste or whatever") Meh. You guys suck. I am engaging your algorithm. But you're getting a dislike.

It’s one of the greats, love Caress of Steel!

I think that the LP is OK. Lakeside Park. The biggest difference that separates this LP from the other Rush LP's is the drumming. Peart isn't there. It's OK,but kind of bland. Prior to Moving Pictures Peart said that he changed the way he held the sticks. My first Rush LP was 2112. We would play football/ softball in th street and my buddy would get his speakers and put them on his porch and jam Temples of Syrinx!

The Didacts and Narpets passage from Fountain of Lamneth saves Caress of Steel from being a stinker. Test for Echo is a good record. Sonically, it was engineered very well. The three previous records, culminating with Counterparts, sounded too compressed. Compression makes good instrumentation turn ordinary.

Aww man, I like the singles from Load and Reload. Fuel and The Memory Remains are classics.

Caress of Steel is my favourite Rush album and I will not hear a bad word about it.

First compact disc i ever bought, in 1985

CoS was and is an excellent album, perhaps among my favorite 2-3 Rush albums. The reason why it initially failed commercially is obvious, since up to that point Rush were catering to a more straight forward rock and blues audience, as they opened for Kiss, Uriah Heep, Rory Ghallager, etc. Had Rush opened for more progressive hard rock bands like Jethro Tull, CoS would’ve sold just fine. FYI. Since Rush has become a recognized prog-hard rock band, CoS has since sold very well.

Too much drama around this new singer.

Caress is a great album. I bought it soon after release. Think I paid $3.99 for the album and played it nonstop for a month. I think anyone trying to go back in the Rush discography will run into issues with certain albums and not really understand how each album fits into the band’s evolution. The fans who jumped on the train in 1974, like me, have a very different perspective, I think. We are the lucky ones.

You guys are pathetic you suck caresses of steel is a masterpiece your thoughts in this album just don't go! Again you guys are pathetic!

Finally a Canadian band Nick can be proud of 😅🌶️

I give props for the band to "try" and comeback but there is NO Linkin Park without Chester. There will never be a new Linkin Park without him, just how it is.

One of the guests on that Post Malone album, Jelly Roll, has his new album coming on October 11th, which means that weekend will require two back-to-back episodes of "Is It That Bad".

Tremendo disco; muy buenos músicos. Estilo rock que me recuerda a Cigarettes After Sex. Música rock como melancólico. Recomendado. Definitivamente espero que por ahí traiga algo en nuestro idioma, porque sería un palo tener en español música en este estilo y con esta calidad. Les deseo mucho éxito!

This is a great album. I think the last bonus song is a cover so that's why they didn't put it on the main album. Thanks for sharing your thoughts

I saw Rush in 2011 on the Time Machine tour. For the second set, they played the entire Moving Pictures album.

Sábila los duros 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Qué magnífico

phoeix is cool.

So apparently this woman is like a decently ranking Scientologist who was on trial and exchanged testimony for immunity from charges of silencing SA/Rvpe victims. She also doesn't believe in psychiatry/psychology, which would maybe have been the one thing to save Chester's life. I think it's good for Linkin Park to move on, but to me, this isn't the way. This is disrespectful to Chester's legacy and the things he stood for, in my eyes. Honestly won't even be checking out the new vox 🤷‍♀️ lady seems like a monster
