Title: I burnt a CD with 1/2 of all Rush songs ever on it
Post by: The artist formally known on February 01, 2008, 11:12:01 PM
What a great fucking mix tape  caterpie;

Has like the first 10 CDs on it, it's an MP3 CD. I'm proud of myself for getting a CD in my car besides Borknagar.

He burned it as an MP3 CD and not an Audio CD, allowing him to store a lot more songs.

Limits you to 700mb which is a huge amount instead of the 80 minutes.

I got their first 12 albums on 1 CD leaving the rest of their albums for another CD. Their first ones are better in my opinion anyways.

The only hitch is that the sound quality blows.

I laughed.


Seriously, I'm not audiophile and I don't notice any difference and I doubt you would either. I don't care really. And I'd much rather listen to 80+ songs in a little worse quality then listen to 12 songs at "great" quality.

Anyways have you tried it yourself and noticed a difference?

I'm not an audiophile either, and I can tell the difference. Maybe it sounds fine if you're just listening to it casually, but if you're really listening to it closely and appreciating it as a work of art, you should be able to hear the difference.

And I believe in quality over quantity.

It's a regular CD, just don't burn it as an Audio disc.

You can get a CD player for less than 30$ that will.

If you didn't put the All The World's a Stage album on it, you fail at life.

I skipped the live tracks because I never really listen to live albums.

If I get an iPod I'll check it out

Yes.
Fair enough, I don't notice any difference and I don't plan on trying to because that'd be awful if I couldn't stand the MP3 CDs. I listen to some poor quality-recorded bands anyways so I must not be anywhere near an audiophile. All I like is decent sounding sound at a large volume (depends on the band but usually the louder the better for me.)

DEFINITELY listen to All The World's a Stage. Really good album, Rush rules live.

Oh and just to rub things into people's faces. I got Rush's first album on vinyl.

I have Signals on vinyl, and it's way better than their first album.

I disagrees. The first album has Working Man. And a bunch of other hard rocking songs.

Eh, Working Man and all the rest are pretty weak and way too generic for my tastes. If you like hard-rocking Rush, Fly By Night is superior.

I don't really think the first one is the best... I just like it. Very Zeppelinesque.

Not very into their synth erea, including the one you got, Signals. Most Rush I listen to is from the debut to Moving Pictures. Not really into their ninties and 00's stuff either.

I'd rather just listen to Led Zeppelin.

Every man to his own, I guess. Personally, I dig their synth era-onward stuff, albeit not as much as their Fly By Night-Signals output.

Wait though, consider this logic:

More music from a band you like = good
One song = bored eventually
Multiple songs = satisfying
An artist similar to the band you like = MOAR SONGS

Which is why Rush's debut is great for hard rock fans.

Which is also why Rush's debut isn't great for people who see music as an art form and not as semi-disposable entertainment.

I hate people who don't listen to anything that isn't 'artistic'. Yeah, I know there's shitty bands we should avoid, but what ever happened to having fun with your music?

Listen, pal, I decide for myself whether there's art in a given sample of music or not. I find art in AC/DC. I find art in Led Zeppelin. It's called subjectivity. And believe me, I'm all for having fun with music - what good would music be if it wasn't fun? I'm just sick and tired of people treating music like it's candy.

The first album is okay, not great.

Much rather listen to anything but it. Even Roll the Bone.
