gudbuytjane Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I think I still have an inbuilt bias against albums that run over 45 minutes in total, from the days of trying to get an album on each side of a 90 minute tape. :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Moving Pictures wasn't long enough. I hate that about it.Snakes & Arrows ought to satisfy you. But pack a lunch. Hahaha, okay, even as someone who loves the album I had to laugh at that. :) It is so long. Why do new albums always have to be so long? I'm perfectly happy with, like, 40-45 minutes of music. Heck, many of my favourite albums are closer to 35, with a special few around 30. It seems like a case of "just because you can doesn't mean you have to." I wonder if MP's legacy would be different if it had 20 more minutes of forgettable filler. The "pack a lunch" comes from Narps. Once I told him I was going to give the album a listen and that's what he told me: pack a lunch. So.....hat tip to Narps and his sense of humor. I think they should just dispense from filler songs and stick with quality songs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H. P. L. Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I hate it because it's not about elves or black holes. You have to dig deep. Listen to the lyrics of YYZ.

fraroc Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 :o Stirring the pot, indeed... Every song is a perfect nugget of Rushy goodness. Except for Witch Hunt, maybe. :outtahere:I agree about Witch Hunt. Over-rated in my opinion. I used to like it a lot, but it has no real weight, so it is one of those songs that doesn't withstand the test of time. Like Ghost of a Chance.I hate Witch Hunt................Suck it lol.

Bard Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Witch Hunt drags? Man. That said, the weakest track on MP is Vital Signs by a long shot. A throwaway on an otherwise perfect album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Grownup Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Ouch on the Witch Hunt posts^^^^. The best lyrics ever and the song paints a picture. Just my opinion.... :) Best lyrics ever? Interesting...up against things like Natural Science, or Between the Wheels, or...hmmm, any number of others? Interesting. I'm not saying they're subpar at all. Just not anything that stands out to me that much, compared to several of Neil's others.Hey just my opinion as I stated.... Behold :madra: http://cdn.tonefuse.com/overlay/uploads/images/da85bb413a48f8cdd3feb0a9f7e4abe9.png Play Music http://cdn.tonefuse.com/overlay/uploads/images/1d64ab1bb7315113c5647de42d17a2cb.png http://cdn.tonefuse.com/overlay/uploads/images/c56e288db2ce297a23bc2b80627143d8.png "Witch Hunt" The night is blackWithout a moonThe air is thick and stillThe vigilantes gather onThe lonely torch lit hill Features distorted in the flickering lightThe faces are twisted and grotesqueSilent and stern in the sweltering nightThe mob moves like demons possessedQuiet in conscience, calm in their rightConfident their ways are best The righteous riseWith burning eyesOf hatred and ill-willMadmen fed on fear and liesTo beat and burn and kill They say there are strangers who threaten usIn our immigrants and infidelsThey say there is strangeness too dangerousIn our theaters and bookstore shelvesThat those who know what's best for usMust rise and save us from ourselves Quick to judgeQuick to angerSlow to understandIgnorance and prejudiceAnd fear walk hand in hand... Those lyrics seems to be timeless. Substitute witches with anything and it still applies. Great song and I especially like the massive guitar sound. Even more live. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
