bathory Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) To me, those high notes at the start of Madrigal are a strength of the song. Love Lifeson's guitar playing in that song--those great chords and the sound of his guitar (and especially when the 12-string acoustic comes in--such a great sound), combined with that great chorusy bass and vocal melody. Not to mention the understated electric swells in the background (someone correct me if I'm wrong about that). Very pretty song. Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder. That is one f***ing ugly chick in my eyes. I respectfully disagree. :) Are you disagreeing with the original opinion, or the crass response to it? Or are you simply demonstrating how to disagree politely? Just curious. my original response was me telling him that he's the one who's ugly, but then I realized he had a pic of himself as his avatar and might get upset or something so I just decided to cover my ass. I like madrigal Edited March 12, 2015 by bathory 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) In anticipation of AFTK's exit I listened to disc 3 of Different Stages on my way to and from work today. In '76 one might have thought that 2112 could be a really lucky one off, never to be repeated (happens from time to time). AFTK showed that 2112 was no fluke and that Rush was here to stay; they were something NEW and amazing, and there was nothing else quite like them. Goodbye old friend.

Powderfinger Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Surprised AFtK is still there. There's only 3 good songs on it anywaysCan't let that one go. Couldn't disagree more and its kind of disappointing to read to be honest... Words can't describe this masterpiece. Love Madrigal, too. And Lifeson's solo on Cinderella Man. Shivers. Precisely. Listening to Madrigal now, have always loved this tune. And Alex's guitar tone and performance on the AFTK album is superb. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I'll just take a minute to step up to bat for A Farewell To Kings, and say that not only is it my favorite, but a song like Madrigal is all of what RUSH is for me .... It may not be considered their best song ( as that honor goes to the song that follows ), but it is RUSH as unique and stylized as they ever got - nobody was like that, nobody sounded like that, and it is this period that means so much to me .. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which, to me, makes RUSH so special - even a song that could be considered the weak link on an album can still be so damn fantastic simply because of their style and unique abilities It is a very simple bit of music ... but they didn't need an mass amount of complexity to be great, or, more importantly, to be RUSH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
