At this point half the reason I'm voting for CoS is because I want Power Windows to live. ...The other half is for beating Clockwork Angels and Counterparts.

tas7 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Not sure Signals doesn't have any more synths than Moving Pictures. Subdivisions is the big synth song. Tom Sawyer has background synth and synth in the solo section.Analog Kid has synth in the chorus and a bit else where. Red Barchetta has background synthChemistry has background synth. YYZ has minimal synth at the end of solo sectionDigital Man has background synth Limelight has minimal synthThe Weapon has some synth, background and in the middle The Camera Eye has synths in various sectionsNew World Man has background synth mainly Witch Hunt has synthsLosing it has synth and electric violin Vital Signs has synthsCountdown has some synth The only difference IMO is that on Signals the keyboards became more central and the guitar was panned losing volume and presence in the mix.

JohnRogers Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Calling all REAL Rush fans: remember the 70s? How honest and real the music was? Caress of Steel - three young men full of spirit and creative drive, thinking big. They couldn't stop thinking big. They poured their heart and soul into writing evocative songs and stories with a hard edge, sometimes with a softer, more soothing edge. This was before scientists in electronics labs developed newer and better synthesizers to make "music" that had nothing to do with the press of flesh against wood and steel. Press a button, and out pops a sound! You want it to sound like a horn? Sure. We can't unfortunately make it sound like what a real horn would make, with a real musician behind it breathing his or her life and soul into it. But close enough for dancing and AM radio. Here ya go. Guitars are so out of fashion. Make a slicker, glossier, more synthetic album! Make Power Windows, an album in which your real musicianship will lurk in the shadows behind all these big, glorious, shiny, pummeling synthesizers. Weener-neener! Weener-neener!!!This all started with Grace Under Pressure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyMidnighter Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Signals. It's the less consistent album of the two: Chemistry and Countdown are a bit limp. But it also hits some amazing highs. Subdivisions and The Analog Kid are better than anything on Grace Under Pressure. Digital Man, The Weapon and New World Man are also all Top-Tier Rush songs. Grace Under Pressure is a terrific album with a concise point of view but lacks those one or two true classics. Distant Early Warning, Red Sector A, The Enemy Within and Kid Gloves are all terrific songs but compared to the run of 3 albums preceding it, Grace falls a bit short. It also has a pretty somber world view, which makes it more challenging. I love the sound of this period of Rush- low growling synths, playful bass, creative drum fills and new wavey/reggae guitar stabs. Grace Under Pressure marks an end to a certain era or the band for me. Power Windows seems like they were trying to correct themselves in some ways- a stab at being more accessible. Grace is the last time they just did whatever the f**k they wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I was almost disappointed they played Limelight at the show I went to on the CA Tour instead of Body Electric. Limelight is one of my all time favorites for sure, but the more Grace Under Pressure the band puts into the setlist, the more awesome it is. I was elated they kept Between The Wheels in the set for the Snakes tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAccountant Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Am I the only person who loves Losing it and Countdown? No!! Losing it is wonderful. Countdown I used to not like but over time I have come enjoy and appreciate it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Where is the "Its a tie" choice? Both are great. Signals clearly has the best song (Subdivisions). But overall - its a tie. At least tonight. Both have a ton of great songs and both have a few duds. Overall both are wonderful albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushpepe Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Both are great albums and have great songs. P/G is the most underrated RUSH album in my book though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g under p Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 This shouldn't be hard which one gets my vote. However, I must say Signals is a vastly under rated album that gets close REAL close to my favorite RUSH album of all time. Signals plain simple is a damn good album from side one-two. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powderfinger Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 The two synth albums... which is the best one? Signals or Grace Under Pressure? If Signals and P/G are "the two synth albums," then what are Power Windows and Hold Your Fire? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
