Which album is the most Intellectual?

[savagegrace26]

I'm going with Signals...just because.

 

Permament Waves, Presto, Power Windows, and Moving Pictures are all strong contendors.

 

I wonder how many people are going to pick Hemispheres because it has a song about a brain?

[RUSHHEAD666]

I am!! "HEMISPHERES!" The greatest intellectual album ever made! I wrote a paper on "The Trees." I know it's cliche but I got an A!

 

Hey that rhymes!

Permanent Waves is the clear choice IMO. Every song tackles at least one heavyweight metaphysical idea. And Natural Science...the king of intellectual songs :smoke: Edited December 16, 2014 by Geddy's Soul Patch

Except for tracks four and five...

Maybe less so than the others, but both are still pretty damn deep! Just look at the effect Entre Nous had on Corgan

And three...I don't know. Jacob's Ladder is about storms...

I'm changing my vote to Moving Pictures.

 

Moving Pictures tackles individuality,

Or is it...? :smoke:

I'm changing my vote to Moving Pictures.

 

Now that I think about it, Moving Pictures and Power Windows are the only real contenders.

 

Signals has great strength because of The Weapon and it's overall themes of technology and society...but it also has Chemistry...

 

Every track on Moving Pictures has something strong to say.

Now you've got me thinking about Power Windows...I may have to change my vote. Although Marathon isn't the strongest of metaphors.

Go the easy route and pick Snakes and Arrows.

Go easy on poor Snakes...it might have precious little but it's still precious!

[EagleMoon]

I vote for Permanent Waves by a hair. All of the albums have at least a couple of "deep" songs. Power Windows has some more serious songs about world issues.

[savagegrace26]

Shoot. Hold Your Fire is it. EVERY song has depth. Yes even Tai Shan.

[savagegrace26]

And that "shoot. hold your fire" wasnt even intentional (was going to say shit).

[Segue Myles]

Test For Echo.

 

I never knew what half the world did until i heard that album.

[Narps]

Presto.....

[Blue J]

Hold Your Fire

[The Omega Concern]

_{Lyrically there are quite a few "intellectual" songs scattered throughout the entire catalog but I think that PW has a higher percentage per the whole album. I think that Natural Science is on the whole musically and lyrically the most "intellectual" song in the entire canon of material.} Edited December 16, 2014 by The Omega Concern

Presto.....

Was obviously kidding with this one. I went with Permanent Waves with my favorite studio work AFTK a very close second....

[bluefox4000]

Permanent Waves.
