No not really. The title track is only 7 minutes and it's basically a mishmash of them trying to be epic like they were in the 70's but failed. Their last epic was The Camera Eye

Does an epic song need to be longer than 7 minutes? Brucey didn't state it as such in his post.

 

In any case, I voted that there aren't any epics.

 

I count 3 excellent tracks, 2 good ones, 4 are ok, and 3 I don't care about or dislike.

Headlong Flight. What is wrong with you people?

Other than an unhealthy desire to consume doughnuts and pizza on a daily basis, nothing's wrong with me.

 

Easily, it's a Top Five 21st century Rush tune.

 

It's not Top 5 or Top 10 all-time. It's probably not even in my Top 20.

 

It's an excellent song but it's not an epic in terms of length or greatness.

Headlong Flight. No question.

:yes:

 

And don't forget The Garden.

 

Time for you to take a long break again.

Nah, I think I'll stick around longer than any Washington sports team in the playoffs in the last 25 years.

Epics are epics because they are long.

 

I don't know. As you know, some peeps just use the word to describe something's greatness and ability to impress.

Never gotten that impression with rush. No one says CttH or limelight is epic but they say FoL, 2112, hemispheres, Xanadu, LVS, natural science are epics. They have 2 things in common. They kick ass and they're long.

The album itself is epic, but the reason the long tracks are long is not that they are particularly epic. More that they have a lot of awesome content.

Clockwork Angels (the song) comes in at +/-7:30, and it has the thematic qualities to be considered an epic. Headlong Flight as well. The trick is that they're part of a larger epic, CA the album.
