rushgoober Posted May 30, 2005 Share Posted May 30, 2005 (edited) i have to give a slight edge here to distant early warning - rush sure had a habit in the 80's of beginning each album with arguably it's strongest track. very close behind is betwen the wheels, but i've also always loved afterimage as well. when i first got this album, it took me awhile to really get into kid gloves and red lenses, thinking the lyircs weren't necessarily up to rush standards, but it didn't take me too long to appreciate these songs either - a really great album...

Guest Xourque Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 The guitar solo in Afterimage is enough for me to vote this song as my favorite from the album. It is so powerful emotionally. This is such a well made album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

physics23 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 "The Enemy Within" The way the music in this song affects the listener's emotions is brilliant. It delivers the words right into the gut and mind. The first 13 seconds prepare you for the exciting riff that's about to take control of your muscles, send your feet tapping, your head bobbing, and your fists drumming on imaginary drums and cymbals. Half a minute into the song, the artfully crafted lyrics grab hold of your senses and you're swallowed into a world of apprehension and suspense. 0:54 - the song's first climax. 1:14 - a sudden shift to an ethereal, atmospheric, mystical, cloudy, spiritual place. 1:27 - back to the world of what will happen in the next instant? everything's happening so fast, what does it mean? Etc. That's experience to extremes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endlesslymocking Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 (edited) The enemy within....it was about the 5th rush song I had ever heard. (I started by downloading)  Best Lyric on the album though: You know how that rabbit feels JUst goes to show that a sense of humor alleviates stress.

liquidcrystalcompass Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 This was a rock solid album from beginning to end. Had to go with Afterimage but I really like them all. Haven't listened to this one in a while. I will give it a spin on the way home from work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allhailtheprofessor Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I love the energy of Distant Early Warning and when Geddy does that "obsolete, ABSOLUTELY!!!". And I dig Neil (Happy Birthday) on the snare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vicious Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 (edited) Between The Wheels for its omnious keyboards riff. Afterimage comes next for its emotional context. The Enemy Within doesn't rock enough for me: the dancing bass line just doesn't appeal to me at all Edited September 21, 2005 by Vicious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
