Mystic Slipperman Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I dig Red Lenses, but I'm a HYF nut. Tai Shan is beautiful.. So different from what you'd expect from Rush. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Very different appeals, neither is very Rush like. I liked Tai Shan on first listen, not so much Red Lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I love Red Lenses. It's my 3rd favourite on GUP after Distant Early Warning and Between the Wheels.I was really surprised when I joined TFR and discovered it was such an unpopular song. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbobby10 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I actually used to hate Red Lenses, but love it now, so groovy. Tai Shan will always be their worst for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's one Rush tune that always reminds me of Flock of Seagulls, but can't remember the name. sounds kinda like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddlimelight Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I actually like Grace Under Pressure much, much more than Hold Your Fire. But I'd have to say Red Lenses is worse. First time I heard it I thought it was a joke...in the same vein as I Think I'm Going Bald. Two campy songs from guys getting kinda tired and silly and staying up too late in the studio. Tai Shan sounds kinda poetic. I can see myself up on this misty mountain looking down on rice fields. Yeah, a little corny, but bearable. But Dog Years is worse. In this song it sounds like they're wide awake, bright eyed, bushy tailed, ready to go, confident and trying to make a serious song....and out came this dog turd. What happened? It should have been called Dog Turd. Other hated songs from the Holy Trinity, Holy Triumvirate: Hand Over Fist, War Paint, Virtuality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvan Alex Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 "Tai Shan" wins my vote, because it was very different. Yes it was mellow, but it was also culturally diverse, and that work up to the chorus sends me chills; it felt like you were visiting the far east. My Dad played "Red Lenses" over and over because of the build up to the lyric "And the Mercury is rising..," so call me anything you want, but that was just...eh.
