madra sneachta Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Natural SciEnce by a country mile for me. TCE is a fine song, but I'm at a loss to understand the obsession with having it played live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Territorial_Game Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Had to go with Natural Science because it kicks so much ass live. It was also the song that hooked me on Rush, along with Earthshine, when I first saw an abbreviated version of Rio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushlover13 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 The Camera Eye kills Natural Science, and beats it to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theredtamasrule Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I gotta go Natty Sci by a hair. I love Camera Eye: it's sound, Alex's tone in particular, Neil's simple yet deceptively tough drum parts. But NS has so much going on with lots of instrumental muscle flexing that for me it gets the nod even though Camera may be a more well crafted piece.

Jocky Balboa Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Love them both. Can't choose between them. Would love to hear Camera Eye on the next tour, especially when they said they'd rehearsed it for S&A, but had to leave it out due to time constraints.

circumstantial tree Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I prefer the Camera Eye simply because of the "impressionist" mood of the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILSnwdog Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Natural Science is as good as it gets. Camera Eye is a nice 5 minute song stretched out to 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielmclark Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) I think Natural Science has more depth to it; it's far more complicated in structure and lyrics (metaphorically speaking), to my mind. I like the Camera Eye, it's my favorite track on MP, but I like Natural Science better. A lot of people consider Tom Sawyer to be the quintessential Rush track (or Limelight). To me, if I had to pick one song to represent the band, it would be Natural Science. Edited July 12, 2010 by danielmclark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeddysMullet Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Natural Science was the first Rush song I fell into obsessive love with back in 2007 when I always had to play it at least twice, and then play the Permanent Waves section three or four more times before I could move on. So that's the sentimental favourite. However, in recent years, The Camera Eye has become my energising song for when I'm feeling burdened and need to get my blood up, and Alex's solo from it can't even so much as briefly cross my mind without giving me at least a small burst of joy. The Camera Eye takes it by a shred! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Was Natural Science originally going to be about King Arthur or Gawain or something? Or am I thinking of a different song? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
