J2112YYZ Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 High Water. Listened to what Neil is doing. His work here makes the song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutlefan Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I like High Water. Don't understand why there are so many people who like the rest of HYF (apart from Tai Shan, commonly) who don't like it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't understand why there are so many people who like the rest of HYF (apart from Tai Shan, commonly) who don't like it as well. I think Tai Shan left such a bad taste in most fans mouths that High Water gets forgotten about because it had to follow possibly the least liked Rush song ever.

Rutlefan Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 ^^ Yeah, I suspect there is some guilt by association going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madrushian Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I actually like Tai Shan. The intro is a bit too much, but it sets a nice picture in your mind's eye and tells a nice little story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddy's Soul Patch Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Both are wonderful sonic journeys, I like High Water slightly more for the guitar work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaminbenb Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Truthfully...both of those songs contribute to my HATE of Hold yer Fire! Running the Gauntlet of that album: Force Ten-not a fanTime Stand Still- WORST RUSH SONG EVER!Open Secrets-Not BAD, but not greatSecond Nature- Like the "Grand Piano" at the beginning, but not a fan of the songPrime Mover-ok...Lock and Key- not a fanMission- just don't like itTurn the Page -GREAT SONG! Tai Shan- sucks!High Water-sucks! HyF isn't my favorite album, and was part of the reason I didn't go crazy looking for Rush tickets the next few years (Presto and RtB didn't help much, either) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JARG Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Might as well ask me to choose between dog food and cat food. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRogers Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 It was tough to decide, frankly one is not really much better than the other. I find High Water more interesting musically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkingAllTheTime Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 High Water is the Rush song title with the most lost potential...I thought it was about something else completely. I actually like Tai Shan. The intro is a bit too much, but it sets a nice picture in your mind's eye and tells a nice little story. Well said about Tai Shan. I often joke about the song, but mostly because it is so out of context with, well, everything. Still, one of the things Neil does well, I think, is painting the setting for you. Tai Shan is one example. Another is Countdown. I distinctly remember my daughter, at a very young age, listening to the song on a drive and telling me she could see the shuttle before takeoff while hearing the lyrics. Tai Shan has that same effect. I also enjoy the percussion in High Water. So, there's that. And, truly, the Rush song I hate more than any is Superconductor. That said, they could play an extended version of it this tour and I wouldn't complain. They have earned the right to go Andy Kaufmann for all I care.
