savagegrace26 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Prime Mover has a killer Chorus. Very hooky. Mick I was going to mention that but I'm in a RUSH... I think Presto may be their most consitently "melodic" album...crucify me but it's an inarguable "truth"...

savagegrace26 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Even though I have low tolerance for it, Superconductor is pretty damn melodic....as is Virtuality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddy's Soul Patch Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 "One likes to believe in the freedom of music, but glittering prizes and endless compromises shatter the illusion of integrity, yeah." "To stand within the pleasure dome, decreed by Kubla Khan, to taste anew the fruits of life, the last immortal man. To find the sacred river Alph, to walk thecaves of ice! Oh I will dine on Honeydew and drink the milk of paradise." "Every day we're standing in a time capsule racing down a river from the past. Every day we're standing in a wind tunnel, facing down the future coming fast. It's just the age, it's just a stage. We disengage, we turn the page." "Apollo was astonished, Dionysus thought me mad, but they heard my story further and they wondered and were sad. Looking down from Olympus on a world of doubt and fear, its surface splintered into sorry Hemispheres." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

len(songs) Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) The Big Wheel may be the least melodic song in their catalog, the verses especially. Sorry, but reverbed staccato syllables do not lend well to "catchiness" or whatever they were going for.

Sorry, but reverbed staccato syllables do not lend well to "catchiness" or whatever they were going for. I disagree...at least for the chorus. It sounds like a Cher song so it has to be catchy...and I sing it in the shower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know...7COG and The Larger Bowl are pretty lacking in the melody department as well I think Seven Cities of Gold is quite melodic . . . as for The Larger Bowl, well, have you ever tried to write a melody for a "pantoum"? :) I recently watched a video on youtube in which they talk about being quite proud of that song - according to Geddy Lee, "one of the best we've ever written." I'm not that wild about it myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
