![]() I was weighing whether to get this on vinyl or hi-res. I haven't heard this record, though (other than the couple of songs they previewed on the last tour). ![]() I've been listening to Rush for about 36 years, so you could say I'm a fan! Hard to believe, but this is the first full concept album for the Willy Wonkas of prog metal, Clockwork Angels being a complicated, oblique, angled tale involving less steampunk than rumour had it and much more about the march of time, all wrapped up in the meaninglessness for the non-believer, except. How's the music on this? As a fan of Rush, I am interested in what is sounds like, but if they have dialed it up, I suspect that getting it in high res isn't worth the extra coin. I'm sure that's a result of splicing and mixing in different tracks or (more likely) recording sessions. It appears that they have an ultrasonic noise problem in some of their equipment, as that segment near the end seems to have an awful lot of information that far up in the range. However, the first graph appears to show that the 'loudness wars' are still raging in some mastering studios? Since this is a new album, we won't probably every hear a better version of this album, unless they have a master somewhere that hasn't been dialed to 11. ![]() No brickwalling here, and the information appears to push up into the higher frequencies in the peaks reasonably.
