Narps Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Second Nature for me. Beautiful Song. Mick^^^^ This. Beat me to it. Back when I was really ignorant regarding this album I used to think that Mission was the only "beautiful" song on the album.

Back when I was really ignorant regarding this album I used to think that Mission was the only "beautiful" song on the album. Boy was I wrong... ...No, you were right. :P To me, and I've said this before, "Second Nature" is possibly the most un-Rush song they've ever done. It's Adult Contemporary soft rock, and if Celine Dion were singing it, it would not sound out of place. "Second Nature" along with "Tai Shan" were where Rush bottomed out for me, and they were no longer the Rush I grew up with. My choice is "Open Secrets." Up-tempo, good vocal melodies and bass lines, and one of Alex's very best solos. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Tough choice but High Water since most people here hate it. I dont get it. Its a gorgeous song that is not contrived in any way. Great solo too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on Tai Shan of course but I had already abandoned ship at Power Windows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I can't answer the question, as I've never underrated any songs from Hold Your Fire. But in the court of public opinion, I could name about seven or eight of them to the jury for consideration. ;) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems many people are defensive about this boring mall music album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredtamasrule Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Mine is High Water Mine too. Always liked that song. Not my favorite off the album but it seems under appreciated. Neil's electronic kit work is really cool and Ged's bass drives the tune. Nice solo by Alex too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket ignites Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I'll go with Second Nature. It's so un-Rush, but I remember really being into the song back when I first got into HYF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lock And Key Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Here's my choice?...................The whole album is underrated!!!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DistantEarlySignals Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) High Water for sure. Sure, it isn't their best song, but it doesn't doesn't deserve all the hate. Unlike Tai Shan, which is the only RUSH song worse than modern-pop or the such. I was so happy to learn that Ged and Alex agree with me about Tai Shan. Honorable mention: Open Secrets (also criminally underrated) Edited July 24, 2015 by DistantEarlySignals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circumstantial tree Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 High Water. In fact, the guitar really picks up on this song to the point I wonder why "hard rockin'" Rush fans don't like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a cool cut. Probably marred by the inclusion of Tai Shan and it causes people to dismiss it based on that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Really, the only thing I can say that I don't like is that "Tai Shan" seem to be in awkward places on the album. "Turn the Page" would have been such a great closing tune. But I also don't know where else Tai Shan and High Water would be placed in the sequence.

Crimsonmistymemory Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Open Secerets and Second Nature for me as well as the thought the whole album was/is under rated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I went with Mission. Most people underestimate how somnolently Fogelbergian this song really is. But Tai Shan would be the most underrated in the traditional sense. Most people have it at the bottom of their list of all Rush songs when Half the World is clearly the biggest POS they ever put out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I like only three songs on the album, one of which is Lock and Key, so I will go with that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
