This album led into my favorite RUSH album GUP.GUP, HYF and AFTK are perfect. I can remember listening to HYF in its entirety on DC101 in MD a couple days before it was released. I was like wow that's good stuff, the only tour I bought a tour book. Oh I was going through my mothers attic on TGIVING and came across a HYF tour shirt and it looked like it fitted a 10 year old. It says large but damn its tiny or I've become huge. Smiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 There's not a bad song on Signals. The last Rush album I can say that about. I can say that about:AFTK, Hemi, PeW, (MP hold VS), Signals, and GUP. HYF could be there too if they had done what they did with the last three albums and keep it at 8 tracks.. Chop off tracks 9 & 10 and HYF is golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbobby10 Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 I feel like the album is put down so muchWhen and by whom? I don't recall it... What i mean is that they do it because it was a "downfall" because of how different it was from MP, which I disagree. I forget which thread it was that said that.

TheAccountant Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Signals has "The Analog Kid", "Mew World Man" & "Losing It", all of which are wonderful works of music. It also has a bunch of decent songs. Oh, it also has the mighty (IMO) "Subdivisions" which is just my second favorite Rush song of all. Of course I voted for "Good" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He led the team as a senior to the NCAA basketball championship in 2002. Funny kid but lazy at the time I had him hardly wanted to go and play.

EagleMoon Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I do think originally when it came out it had to measure up to Moving Pictures and that was tough. I agree there's not a bad song on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driven_to_xanadu Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I like every song on the album although the production could certainly be better. I wish Signals had the production of P/G then it would be a masterpiece. Any album that has Countdown and The Weapon on it gets my vote of approval, it's just not a Top 5 album for me.

goose Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Only problem with Signals is Alex's guitar sound. Very mushy and like wet cotton.A very strange production choice, for sure. Some very strong songs on this effort: Subdivisions (some of Neil's best drumming ever), Digital Man (amazing bass), Analog Kid (one of Alex's coolest solos), New World Man (well-crafted radio-friendly track), Losing It (great sounds and lyrics), and The Weapon (classic RUSH experimentalism). Chemistry and, especially, that Space Shuttle song don't quite do it for me. The middle keys section to Countdown saves it from being a total disaster.

tas7 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) Signals, like a great wine, has aged really well. Broon didn't know what to do with the guitar because the keyboards took centre stage so unfortunately panned it wide left and right. The guitar then loses definition but buy a Cambridge Azur 651 amp and Alex sounds like he's playing in the sky. Considering it's called the 'Synth' album, the guitar playing is superb and IMO should have got Alex an award Edited December 28, 2014 by tas7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micgtr71 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Signals is fantastic and near flawless. The only album I like more is Hemispheres 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chemistry, however, is a pretty poor song and is the only stinker on the album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
