I was curious to find out when Snakes and Arrows would start being the preferred Rush album.

Presto maybe?

I have no problem rating Snakes over:

 

2112 (two awesome songs, two okay ones, two really bad ones, not exactly a favorite)

Vapor Trails

Test For Echo

Hold Your Fire

A Farewell To Kings

Caress Of Steel

Fly By Night

Roll The Bones

Presto

Rush

The thread title should be Moving Pictures and Signals vs. Snakes and Arrows.

That is what I should have asked. Sorry to have inadvertently chosen the more tedious way. I was just curious when the album would begin to be preferred.

Signals is better.

 

But i picked Snakes over MP.

 

WAIT.......WAIT. MP is just sooooooo overplayed and it doesn't get played by me too often. Snakes get's played more. I don't wanna pick MP JUST because it's MP.

 

Snakes it is.......and......uh......bite me, lol

Snakes suffers from length. Cut it to 8 songs and it would fair better.

 

Which is a common problem for modern Rush. They forgot how to cut the fat. Snakes in no way had to be over an hour.......much as i love it. And neither did CA for that matter.

Snakes and Arrows is around the bottom of my list, so this poll was easy. MP and Signals are in my top 5.

It would really fare better if only 2 or 3 of the 8 songs were on the original album.

seriously, what is up with bands thinking you have to fill up a CD? not to sound like one of you old folks, but I miss when a band could say what they had to say in less than 40 minutes.

I can't say I really disagree. Maybe on 2112 and AFTK, but it's close.

Geddy Lee says of the album: "It’s big, it’s bold, and I think it’s some of the best work we’ve done in years."

I went with MP over S&A, but opted for S&A over Signals. I just never got into Signals as a unit by itself. I love Subdivisions and The Analog Kid, and I like New World Man. That's about it.

 

As far as S&A goes, I agree with those who say it's too long...my ideal tracklist (assuming they used the same order after songs being removed) would be:

 

Far Cry

Armor & Sword (but trim a couple of minutes out of it)

Workin' Them Angels

The Larger Bowl

The Main Monkey Business

The Way the Wind Blows

Hope

Faithless

Bravest Face

Malignant Narcissism

 

BAM...that knocks off about 14 and a half minutes (plus a couple more if you trim Armor & Sword), down to just over 48 (46 with A&S trimming). Much more manageable.
