Wil1972 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) Great tour! The guy on the cover looks really stoned Granite, he's lost his marbles. Okay, okay - clean slate... He's a shale of a good guy. He rocks! Edited July 18, 2018 by Wil1972 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket ignites Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 NOOOOOOO, lol. i like 2 tracks. Driven and Resist. it was a goofy attempt to continue being alt. rock. when they did it just great on Counterparts. Mick I'm with Mick; I only like Resist and Driven and I find Carve Away the Stone going through my head at odd times. Other than those, meh. Carve Away the Stone is catchy as hell.I love how the song builds. It's catchy and a strong album closer. I get that it's nothing groundbreaking, but I've always been high on CATS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Driven and Time and Motion are the only ones that I can really listen to at any given time...the rest isn't in my favorite bin.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todem Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Love: Test For EchoDrivenColor of RightTotemDog YearsTime And Motion LikeResistHalf The WorldLimboCarve Away The StoneVirtuality I can listen to each and every track. I have always enjoyed Test For Echo. Not nearly their best work.....but a good album. I think at the time they recorded it they were pretty happy with the finished product and man to this day one of the very best tours they ever had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredtamasrule Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Far and away the worst record in their catalogue. I still remember exactly where I was in the Salt Lake Valley when I heard T4E on the radio the first time and thought "Well, they had a good run." I didn't even load it onto my phone. I met Geddy, Alex and Howard for the first time on that tour though, so there's that... Whoah, whoah, whoah....have you heard presto & rtb? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Geddy Lee: "Test for Echo was a strange record in a sense," singer/bassist Geddy Lee said in the 2012 book Rush: An Oral History, Uncensored. "It doesn’t really have a defined direction. I kind of felt like we were a bit burnt creatively. It was a creative low time for us." http://ultimateclassicrock.com/rush-test-for-echo/ Editorial comment from the article: If any Rush album sounds like it was sleepwalked through, it's 1996’s mostly forgettable Test for Echo. Even its highlights – the title cut, "Half the World," "Virtuality" – cannibalized spare parts and old ideas, like a printer cartridge running on empty, or an echo growing fainter, fainter, fainter ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 It's their worst album. I really only like Driven. The title track is okay if I ignore the lyrics and I don't mind Resist either. It's mostly just a boring album to me.^^^This. I have the CD, but it gets very little play. With idiot bombs like Dog Years and Virtuality, what do you expect?

Blue J Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hard for me to imagine I’ll ever like it. I hate saying that about any Rush album...but this is literally the only under that heading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably written by someone who hadn’t even heard the album. And/Or maybe they wrote that simply because Half the World was one of the singles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the first time I've disagreed with Geddy and it won't be the last though I do generally agree with him about this stuff. Still think the decision to go back to the acoustic guitar was a brilliant one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
