gudbuytjane Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Okay, in Lorraine's Moving Pictures thread it got me thinking about the length of albums, and how much of the later catalogue seems plagued by filler, maybe. So I thought: What would you cut? So here's the task: For all albums over 45 minutes (which is HYF on, I think?), what songs would you cut to make it closer to 40-45 minutes? I'll start: Hold Your Fire: Tai Shan, High WaterSnakes & Arrows: The Larger Bowl, The Way The Wind Blows, Good News First, We Hold OnClockwork Angels (this was hard): BU2B, Halo Effect, Seven Cities, The Wreckers, BU2B2 I'm going to have to think about the others.

Bard Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) LOL, you're so specific. Why not just make the topic easier to deal with and simply discuss ALL filler tracks, rather than only albums over 45 minutes? The early catalogue has its share of filler, rest assured. :) Edited February 27, 2015 by Van Squalen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 For me, the following would have been sufficient for Snakes: Far CryWorkin Them AngelsArmor and SwordSpindriftThe Main MonkeyHopeWe Hold On----------------------------------------------------------Test For Echo would have only seven songs. Vapor Trails is a lost cause. You can't release an album with only two songs on it. :LMAO: Clockwork Angels I would have to give more thought to.

toymaker Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) If it were me, I'd add about 45 minutes to all albums. All Rush albums should be double albums. Double CDs. 200+ minutes of music each time they release an album. And think of all the extra songs we'd have for our l'il disputes about what's good and what's bad! This place would be overwhelmed with posts!! They'd have to upgrade the servers again just to handle all the extra!!! !!!

I can't allow anything to be cut from Hold Your Fire. :tsk: However, Test for Echo would be about a four-song EP, and Vapor Trails would fit on a 45.

LedRush Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Counterparts Leave that Thing Alone Shit, I have another 41 minutes to fill. Can we just slap this on Power Windows, which is now about 25 minutes long? We can throw on a song or two from S&A and get rid of that album too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Take Face Up, Neurotica, and You Bet Your Life off of Roll the Bones, for Pete's sake! I have a soft spot for Roll the Bones...I like that album a lot. Well...about two thirds of it, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZivotSon Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Vapor Trails would fit on a 45. Wish I had thought of that one. That's very good. And true. Vapor Trails is great. For at least six reasons. I love the remixed Vapor Trails, but it is too long a journey. I think it would have been better listen without The Stars Look Down and Nocturne, not that I hate them, but it's too much of the same vibe for 13 tracks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clem Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Clockwork Angels would have to be a double album. can't cut anything (other than BU2B2B2. Or whatever). Maybe they can fill some of the extra minutes with a few tracks from Vapor Trails. I concur that most of that album isn't that good. Oh sure, it would mess up the "concept", but the concept is pretty stoooopid anyways.... Clem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
