Tombstone Mountain Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I understand it isn't for everyone but it is the album that got me hooked on Rush and I learned to love the older tunes because of GUP. Love the bass line and when I listen to it, I get the chorus stuck in my head for hours. :DThis era is what I was exposed to first. I enjoy the album immensely, though it's not in my rotation at the moment. I'll be revisiting it soon. A bit dark to "enjoy". The song? Good song. Can think of many others on Grace Under Pressure that blow it away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I wonder if Peart was thinking about emulating something mechancial with that drum intro, like factory robotics or something. There's something persistent and vaguely martial about it, too. Android-martial?I wonder if Peart was thinking about emulating something mechancial with that drum intro, like factory robotics or something. There's something persistent and vaguely martial about it, too. Android-martial? Yeah I think that was the idea. It reminds me of a lumbering metallic robot. Can either one or both of you think of another Rush song he did the same?Mystic Rhythm. You are right! How could I have forgotten that one?

canadianice Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 The body electric brings me back to a place in time, mid eighties, my son was 3 at the time, life was good. It will forever have a special memory in my life, besides that it is a really cool song, from a great album. :rush: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBsDWdrums Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) I love the Body Electric....always have ...it signified a rebellion of sorts towards their old sound ( love all eras btw...others did not back then).... Lyrics are great.. Watch the movie "ExMachina"...great film.... Then throw on the body electric afterwards... Sublime.....

Blue Barchetta Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I understand it isn't for everyone but it is the album that got me hooked on Rush and I learned to love the older tunes because of GUP. Love the bass line and when I listen to it, I get the chorus stuck in my head for hours. :DI'm with you there. Distant Early Warning really got me hooked on Rush. I like TBE and that whole album. How much of that is sentimentality, I have no idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) I have been listening to Grace Inder Pressure this week in my car, and for the first time I'm noticing how incredible the bottom end sounds on this album. Cranked, the songs' bass notes made my chest vibrate. It really is a great sounding record. Love it! Edited August 29, 2015 by goose 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can either one or both of you think of another Rush song he did the same? What do you mean by the same? When he hits the drum like that. It's really pretty much throughout the song. Maybe the way the song was recorded has a lot to do with the sound too. It is so crisp and sharp.Yea...they recorded it back when they cared about production quality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crisp, clear high end with a resounding bass presence. Alex's playing is more up front than on Signals, as well, which is an improvement for my ears. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
