Guitar World readers vote Rush's Clockwork Angels as the most anticipated album of 2012
According to the Roadrunner Records website, Guitar World readers have voted Rush's upcoming Clockwork Angels studio release as the most anticipated album of 2012:
Rush's Clockwork Angels, currently being recorded, was voted as the most anticipated of 2012 by Guitar World readers, who chose the disc via a poll on GuitarWorld.com. Rush beat out Black Sabbath, Van Halen, Tool, Lamb of God and Kiss, among others, to take the top spot with 21% of the total vote. ...
Billboard magazine recently posted a short interview with Geddy Lee where he spoke about what fans can expect from the album, along with some new revelations regarding their feelings on the recording of their last album - 2007's Snakes & Arrows:
The first two [single] releases from this album, "Caravan" and "Brought Up to Believe," are a great indication of where this album's going, although there's much more variety than just what those two songs offer. When I look back at [2007 album] "Snakes and Arrows," as happy as we were with that record, in retrospect I feel we kind of overdid it with overdubs. We'd like to simplify that, just in terms of making sure the guitar, bass and drum sounds are big and loud and clear, and any time we are going to add an overdub, to make sure that it definitely is adding and not subtracting.
The band is currently in the studio finishing up the recording of Clockwork Angels which should be released sometime next Spring with a tour to follow.

Thank you Ed. You will not have any problems here. C'ant wait for the tour. Seen them last in Ottawa at the bluesfest. Movingpicturesrocks
Good for Neil, looks like he's dropped some weight. Break ? I see the drums in the background and Neil's wearing his drummer hat.
I got two prints myself, #10 and #11
Off topic - Yesterday, I received my limited edition signed print of Alex's painting A Brush of Hope (lucky #13 out of 250). It is a terrific painting! Just love it!
#5 - I completely agree! I am anxiously awaiting this to be released!
Come on then!
We MUST shell some $$$ out and make this at least a GOLD record!
I found out about the poll here, #2. Voted from 2 different computers--only one vote per computer counted. I suspect we RIABers really made a difference.
#2 - it's been online for a while now. I mentioned it about a month ago in this post: link
I also posted to FB and Twitter. I think there were a lot of RIAB votes.
How come we didn't know about this poll?
First!!!!!!
