SeñorPieuPieuPieu Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Now it gets tough Edit: Went back to listen to both Bravado and Ghost before voting. Edited June 10, 2021 by SeñorPieuPieuPieu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Now it gets tough Edit: Went back to listen to both Bravado and Ghost before voting.Not that tough. Only one of these songs is actually good, and the level of putridity of the other two is not particularly close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's really not a song on RTB I don't like except the title track. And that only because of that god awful rap they felt obligated to cram into it because rap was busy becoming a thing in the late 80s.

goose Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 And we're left with three of RUSH' best mainstream rock-era efforts. Really can't fault any of the three. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Carmina Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 It's not a bad song, as this era goes, but it's time to exorcise some Ghosts . . . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Ghost Of A Chance is wimpy as heck. Don't really get what other people see in it. A good Lifeson solo doesn't save it from the chopping block in my book. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malignant Narcissist Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I get that it's not 'Eavy in the 'Iron Man' sense (re: the chancey one) but surely Bravado's not exactly Raining Blood either!Battle of the wimpy ones it seems. Not that wimpy is necessarily bad. Hey, Rush left real hard rock around long before this and were never 'metal' in today's sense of the word. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78jazz Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Ghost Of A Chance is wimpy as heck. Don't really get what other people see in it. A good Lifeson solo doesn't save it from the chopping block in my book. The mood and the vibe. I think they nailed this song on tour in 2008. Had it ended up on CP sounding like that, I suspect it would have been appreciated more (then again, CP is the last Rush album for me where I would not skip any songs). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's more a matter of opportunity than anything since I never have the urge to put it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
