Very competent album, just a total bore to listen to.

 

:laughing guy:

 

Yeah, I just can't agree with that post though. CA is a FANTASTIC album IMO....I'd like Alex to do another acoustic solo like "Hope" was...I just LOVE that song! http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j223/OldRUSHfan/Music%20Smilies/music-ENJOY.gif

 

Hope was Snakes And Arrows...

 

Yes, I know that, but I was just putting forward a wish of my own.....I think both albums are great, although I've heard a lot of so called RUSH fans who trash Snakes 'n' Arrows also. My love of RUSH and their music really knows no bounds. I am a musician, (7 years Piano, 8 years in band as far as Learning about music and it's construction) and I understand some folks' tastes aren't the same as mine, but Sometimes I wonder if they're as 'informed' as I am of the workings of making music when they trash albums I know, from a musical standpoint, are EXCELLENT........ :huh:

 

What a load of horseshit ORF.

Don't confuse your personal taste with some kind of special intuition or insight, that way snobbery lies. What you might describe as musically excellent might reasonably sound like a cacophony to most other people. I can guarantee that any album you love will be disliked by more people than like it. It's a matter of subjective taste whether one piece of music is better, the same or worse than any other and no amount of being "informed" about of music could ever make a compelling argument about worth.

 

Let's not forget that you have repeatedly stated online that you like everything Rush has released. That's not compelling evidence that your objectivity circuit is working correctly.

 

Nobody understands me, no matter WHAT I say, so just read my sig and understand that I mean NO OFFENSE to anyone, To put it simply, I know of the mechanics of song structure and I find nothing WRONG in how RUSH built their songs. I want to know WHY others feel the way they do. So SUE me, K? :P

I hate You Bet Your Life.

 

I hate the lyrics. I hate how they sound like Billy Joel's never ending parade of pop culture references in "We Didn't Start The Fire". That Joel song & YBYL may sound clever and fun to some but not to me. "Be-bop or a one-drop or a hip-hop lite-pop-metallist"...Nope, does nothing for me...besides make me groan internally. Why do YOU think it's great? Don't answer that!

 

I hate the music. I hate how light it sounds. I hate how in some sections Lifeson's guitar sound like they're there just for splashings instead of having strong direction. Isn't that a somewhat common complaint about their late 80s stuff? I hate the background vocals of "The odds get even". It sounds forced...as if they wanted to fill space instead of adding to the song (which was their likely intention).

 

There is my WHY. Is it sufficient or do I need a doctorate in music theory in order to be justified?

:LOL:

 

Nope. ;)

Frankly, I'm not sure any answer would satisfy you. You say that it's subjective as Tony said and as i think too. However, your words read like it's not. If you thought music was subjective, then why bother commenting about being knowledgable about the mechanics of songs?

 

Why do people like or dislike songs? Various reasons, clearly. If they can't pinpoint the exact reason, it still doesn't matter...especially since music is such an emotional thing for most people. Can I tell you the microscopic second or note or beat when Natural Science touches me? Probably not. IF I hated it, I might not be able to pinpoint the exact moment or reason either.

 

Satisfaction! Thank you!
