YYZumbi Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Every day I see someone on this forum complain on Snakes & Arrows when talking about Rush album. And I don't get it why the album get so much hate! To me it's a great album! The mixing is almost perfect, and the songs is really good (yes, even Spindrift!), and Geddy's voice is great on it! And I love how they have done a good mix with electric guitar and acoustic guitar. To me, this album is much better then Clockwork Angels. So explain to me... Why does this album get so much hate when it does not deserve it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disk98 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 There are only three things from Rush I hate. Snakes & Arrows isn't one of them, but I don't listen to it often because it's basically a collection of songs that sound pretty much the same. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I like it. There a couple of things that bore me and a couple of things that bug me, but that's true of a lot of Rush albums. I think if there's 3 or 4 songs that I think are truly great tunes, I'm usually happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my Fav newer Rush Album. i think it's TONS better then VT and CA. and yes the mix is perfect and why Nick what's his face and Rush chose to mix CA like that after Snakes.I'll never Know. I love snakes and will forever consider it underrated. Mick Edited January 17, 2015 by bluefox4000 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 It's the best Rush album of the 90's, 00's, 10's. CA is a close second. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, you and I are the only two here who see the light regarding this album. Edited January 17, 2015 by Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Snakes has about four or five good songs. It is way too long as an album. And, yes. After the first few songs, they all start to sound the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the first few songs, they all start to sound the same. It's got too many songs, that's for sure... Far Cry, Armor and Sword, Spindrift, Way the Wind Blows are four powerful songs which really lift the album up high. Workin', Faithless, Bravest, Good News, and the instrumentals are pretty good. Larger Bowl and We Hold On are the baddies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
