The weakest is You Bet Your Life. They should've just ended it on Neurotica, at least that song has a good guitar solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompers Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Only dog on the CD is The Larger Bowl, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbass Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I like it! It has a good bass tone, as well as some nice accent parts. Ged weaves a nice flowing bassline through the song. I would like the bassline a little more, in your face, but it is still good. I find this album to be some of there strongest work in years. This is a solid hit as far as I am concerned.

The Larger Bowl is my favorite off of the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will just pretend RTB and Presto were never made. I just don't get where you say a whole album sucks. There are some that in IMO are not as strong as others, but there are strong tracks on every album. Even HYF has Force Ten, Time Stand Still, and the Mission. I can't imagine a world without Show Don't Tell, Bravado, or Ghost of a Chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyswing Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Sometimes, I think I'm going to back of my best album since "Hold Your Fire" statement, then I go listen song by song again and I then I feel comfortable about it again. "Good News First" is one of the reasons. Solid, well-crafted song with a great feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In totality I think those CD's suck, immensly so. However, you are correct, there are nuggets strewn throughout. Show Don't Tell, The Pass, Ghost of a Chance I really love & think are great...maybe Presto & Dreamline make the cut for me, but other than that those 2 CD's are a "firm foundation of turds" to quote Shakespeare...or was that a foundation of firm turds? I can't quite remember.... I challenge your contention about Bravado however; there's a reason so many people took a piss break during that song that Neil even noticed from behind the drum kit: it sucks too, or at the least is boring. I wish it was different but for every Red Barchetta there's a Larger Blow or Nobody's Hero or Second Nature or Hand Over Fist. On the other hand, I think Hold Your Fire is a damn fine CD, one of my favorites, and I'm a dyed in the wool Hemispheres, fill-all-the-spaces-with-notes-kinda Rush fan.
