GeddysMullet Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Tie Pretty much! Yesterday I voted for and posted something about slightly preferring The Camera Eye blah blah blah, but today I listened to Natural Science, and, just...damn! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRushmonkey Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Tough choice but I'll have to say I prefer the Camera Eye. It's probably my favourite song from Moving Pictures. Natural science is a great song but the Camera Eye beats just beats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Natural science for me. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Was Natural Science originally going to be about King Arthur or Gawain or something? Or am I thinking of a different song?Parts of the music, supposedly.

NaturalHemisphereGarden Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Natural Science for me. There are more musical things that keep it interesting, and the Permanent Waves section has great lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x1yyz Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I adore both songs but there's something about The Camera Eye that really does it for me. Maybe because it's a bit different than all their other songs (in a good way) while still being unmistakably Rush. I saw them perform this on the Time Machine Tour but sadly don't really remember the performance. Which just reinforces the thought that I need to see multiple shows on a tour to cement the memories.

I saw them perform this on the Time Machine Tour but sadly don't really remember the performance. I remember it vividly. Alex's solo was amazing. If you see this, I hope you're well.

JohnnyBlaze Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I’m sure I voted 14 years ago when the thread was made. But I didn’t see any comment from me. So, here it is:Camera Eye gets an “A” grade, Natural Science gets an “A+” but the gap is big. Natural Science is my favorite Rush song of all time, absolute perfection musically and lyrically with the band at their peak abilities and enthusiasm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Natural Science. Nowhere near close. In my musical mind I've envisioned a "hard acoustic" version of NS, a'la Michael Hedges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Natural Science is the correct answer. I’ll accept your money at lunch for letting you copy off of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Natural Science is one of the greatest musical accomplishments of all time, whereas The Camera Eye is not even my favourite from Moving Pictures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
