Product Description

CD Description

The Rush Fan Pack includes Clockwork Angels, the band's incredible new studio album, plus a 132-page magazine dedicated to one of hard rock's biggest and most enduring bands. Fans who buy the Rush Fan pack will be able to hear Clockwork Angels exclusively weeks before it hits the shelves in record stores. The Fan Pack magazine is 100% Rush-approved and contains brand new interviews with Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart talking in depth and at length about their latest, much anticipated studio album and about their incredible thirty-year plus career that's seen them shift over 40 million albums and sell out stadiums and arenas worldwide. Clockwork Angels is the eagerly awaited twentieth studio album from Rush, and to celebrate the band's legacy, the magazine looks back at their legendary career with the help of, among others, members of the Manic Street Preachers, Porcupine Tree, Mastodon and original producer, Terry Brown. The magazine also speaks to the men behind the band's award winning documentary, Beyond The Lighted Stage and to Kiss' Gene Simmons about taking the young Rush out as their support band in the 70s. All of this plus rare shots of Rush from the band's personal archives, a Rush Keyring and a Giant double sided poster, make it a real must for Rush fans everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rush - Clockwork Angels 11 Jun 2012
By Gentlegiantprog TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
2012's Clockwork Angels is the new concept album from the legendary Canadian band Rush. It is the band's nineteenth studio album of original material (twentieth if you count the covers album Feedback) and follows up their last two albums in bringing out the more Hard Rock/Metal aspects of their sound. It takes Snakes And Arrows' variety and Vapor Trails' power and combines them into a very strong album indeed, one that isn't ever dull or plodding. It can be bought now as a digital download, now in a special fan pack edition of Classic Rock Magazine that comes with a Keychain, Poster and links to online bonus content or later on its own in either CD or Vinyl format. The story that it tells is also available separately as a novel if you want to take things even further.

If you have already heard `Caravan' and `BU2B,' which were released a full two years earlier than the record was, then you should have some idea of this album's musical direction already. The songs have since been re-recorded to fit in better with the rest of the album though, so even if you've played them to death already, you won't feel cheated that they are part of the album.

Despite concentrating on the band's heavier side, the album is still very dynamic and varied. Sometimes things will be melodic and sweet, sometimes there are synths and keys in there, sometimes you'll hear little touches that remind you of Hemispheres and A Farewell To Kings and then of course sometimes you'll hear more of the direction from Snakes And Arrows' and Vapor Trails' heavier moments. The opening to `Carnies' even has a big fat riff that could almost fit on a Monster Magnet or Down album.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastically written piece of music 11 Jun 2012
By Karl
Format:Audio CD
Unlike a lot of people, I'm quite a young Rush fan (I'm only 18) but in the past 2 years or so, I've fallen in love with Rush because of the sublime way they've told such stories through their music. My favourite albums before this would probably be the era from Fly by Night to Moving Pictures, as well as Presto; however, I was pleasantly surprised by this album as I wasn't expecting it to leave such an impression so quickly. I remember listening to Caravan and BU2B when they came out as singles and thinking, "Hmm... Not bad." Although, as a complete album, I think that the album as a whole is much better than its constituent songs as it tells a brilliant story laced with steampunk and alchemy. Truly a brilliant album and probably one of my favourite Rush albums already.

5.0 out of 5 stars RUSH: a step back in Clockwork time. 11 Jun 2012
Format:Audio CD
I have to agree this is one of the best ablums the band have done, and there is a lot of hidden gems on this CD Fan Pack version. As I had it pre-ordered before the cut of point deadline, I got my name listed on the extra poster. Anyway, there is elements from the past albums hidden within the tracks on this disk. There is nothing new I can say that has already been posted, but one thing! I wonder if anyone else noticed about the album cover art work. We have twelve zodiac icon signs for the hours of a clock, but look at the time 9:12. Well some of you will go so what, or what does it mean? Answer was puzzling me for ages since I first saw the album pre-release pictures, then it just hit me while looking at it after my Fan Pack arrived, 9:12 in the 24 hour clock system equals 21:12 as 2112 the first Rush album I ever bought.

5.0 out of 5 stars What do you lack? 30 Jun 2012
Format:Audio CD
That's a good question pedlar. It's the album that in my youth I would have liked to have followed Hemispheres, especially lyrically. But it wasn't and that was over 30 years ago; times have changed.

When I first heard Caravan and BU2B, I had no idea they would be part of a concept, the tracks (at the time) standing up as individual songs ... but now they don't. Having accepted the intro/verse - chorus - verse - chorus - solo - chorus Rush, going back to the open source concept Rush is not an easy transition for me. Although I never did get 2112, preferring Caress of Steel's diversity. Lyrically the songs sound odd taken out of the context of the album and also listened to out of sequence. But at least, unlike 2112, the main character chooses life - I like a happy ending.

Clockwork Angels is an album of vibrancy, colour, depth and variety, all songs performed with impeccable musicianship (taken for granted) and I do like the string arrangements for a change of direction. But I feel that Geddy has had a little too much influence in places, putting his foot on the break to slow tracks down rather than keeping the pace going and then sticking it to the floor for Alex to have a good old fashioned thrash at.

Is this a great Rush album? Yes. Is it a classic Rush album? No. There are moments of classic (Caravan and BU2B), moments of greatness (Carnies and Headlong Flight) and a moment of Tai Shan (The Wreckers). But it's The Garden that has taken me completely off guard and shown a side of Rush that I thought had long gone. Utterly infectious.

Looking back and with rose tinted glasses removed, if you were to truthfully rate each track from each album and then calculated the average score, you may be surprised at what you find.
