Hemispheric Waves Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I don't like it that much. I like most of the songs on CP more than Animate. I was kind of disappointed at the show when they played it. On the other hand, it is pretty entertaining to watch you guys go at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Animate is ok, and is definitely the best offering on what is for me their worst ever album. Although a litle cheesy, the lyrics actually explain Jungs approach to the masculine side of ebveryones personality (animus) and the feminine (anima) quite well.... The title itself is obviously a play on words...Anima(te) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 QUOTE (Kudzu @ Oct 15 2006, 04:35 AM) I don't like it. The lyrics are a bunch of intellectual-sounding, multisyllabic words thrown into a vaguely mythological soup by the Professor, nothing truly profound or hard-hitting at all. If I want heavy, there's better progressive metal out there. I do like the added voice layers on the chorus and the winding bass line, but as Rush songs go, this is definitely in the lesser 25% of them. Read some Carl Jung, and you will find the lyrics do actually make sense....in fact they are quite well thought out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roddy Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Not a massive fan, since it opens my 2nd least favourite Rush album.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if i'd call them gay, but weak for sure. Let me try... escalate me concentrate me renovate me predicate me caffeinate me overrate me understate me delegate me foliate me excavate me Look! I wrote a song in 30 seconds! HAHAHAHA "caffeinate me" ^^^That one got me!

Someone who doesn't like Speed of Love, is probably missing the point. Which is odd since it' basically saying he same thing as Cold Fire...cole fire..

It's like the bridge in Dog Years with the tortoise line, or the excessive rhyming in Neurotica. They greatly weaken a decent song, in my humble opinion. P.S. As for rock & Jung, Synchronicity did it pretty well back in '83. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margana Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 This is the only track that I like on Counterparts. Great opening, plenty of energy. Most of the rest of this album sounds like RUSH go grunge - depressing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthshine Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 It is okay for me. Not a big favorite. The keyboards sound a little "synthetic". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayshway Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 I love Animate. It sets the pace for the rest of the album. Upbeat and positive. I loved Counter Parts the first time I bought it. I haven't heard it in a while and now it's been in my car for 2 weeks. I fell in love with it all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
