Lorraine Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Just wondering where this song stands in the wonderful world of Rush fandom. I thought I remembered The Body Electric being disliked by many here. So, if you do dislike the song, what it is about the song that makes you dislike it?

TexMike Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I didn't use to care for it that much, but something clicked when I saw the live version on the CA DVD and now I love it. I used to be annoyed by the "1-0-0-1-0-0-1" part, but got over that. It's really a very cleverly crafted tune. I especially like Geddy's vocal melody on the verses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I love the song. I was a bit disappointed to not get it at the two shows I saw on the CA tour. We should have got it at the Buffalo show but that's the night they decided to add Limelight into that rotation spot. Got LL again the second time I saw them as well. Nothing against LL but it would have been great to hear them do a rare gem like TBE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclonus X-1 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Awful song, quite possibly their worst. Such an annoying chorus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Didn't really like it till the CA Tour. Now I love it, like most everything on the last album before 27 years in the wilderness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 LABT, you are not the first person here to say something like that. I keep reading over and over how a song, or an album, someone wasn't very fond of suddenly became a big favorite once they saw Rush do it in concert. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Grace Under Pressure only has one song on it that I don't rank as a 10. That song is NOT The Body Electric. If I got rid of Red Lenses, this would be my favourite Rush album, bar none. As it stands, HYF gets that vote! (And AFTK, MP and VT do as well...do not make me choose!). I love the lyrics of this one, and the chorus is ultra addictive! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick I asked because I don't think there is one Rush album that I don't like at least one song off it. Usually, i like at least two or three even if I don't care for the album. But I understand an album having a sound that is just a complete turn-off. Edited July 16, 2015 by Lorraine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The style- To police, Ultravox-y for my tastes.2. One of the weaker production jobs they've had done. It SOUNDS very thin to me.3. Just weak songwriting. Melodically and lyrically. I cannot connect with it for the life of me. Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing the difference that seeing it live can make. I never much cared for Power Windows until I saw so much of it played during the last tour. Now I love the album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
