MMCXII Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) My first thought; how dare anyone suggest that PW could be bad!! Then I saw it was Lorraine, pretty sure she's no dummy.. Probably just trying to expose anyone who isn't a REAL Rush fan ;) Edited January 3, 2015 by MMCXII 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snyder80 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I don't mean to be a dick but is this a serious question? PeW is in the Top 100 of a list I once saw entitled: 1000 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Does that pretty much sum up it's value to the overrall music fan populace? Let alone Rush fans? I mean it's only f***ing Permanent Waves which might be 35 minutes and 35 seconds of the best sounding time in the existence of mankind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeson90 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Yep if the band even slightly daunted by the amount of effort they know will have to go into a new 60 min+ studio album they should bear in mind an album the length of permanent waves of similar quality will go down very well. In my view clockwork angels was only half brilliant rush anyway, i for one dont need an epic 60 min album just bang a few tracks out you know hit the standard and get on with doing something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narps Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 It seems at least in my view that Permanent Waves is the most universally loved Rush album by fans and non Rush enthusiasts as well. Makes sense.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pags Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 When I first heard PW I was let down. When I first heard it, I already knew TSOR and FW very very well and loved them for as great as they are. The album was a back-catalog discovery for me. The complete slow down from Freewill to Jacob's Ladder took all the momentum and adrenaline out of the record for me on that very first listen, and somehow that energy wasn't recaptured until Natural Science, and even 'that' takes awhile until it hits that killer riff. i guess I was more focused on the 'adrenaline surge' than the masturful songwriting and playing. It took a while for me to appreciate it, but once I finally did it quickly became clear why it is considered the masterpiece that it is. Everything before Presto (except MP and 2112), are back-catalog discoveries for me. Not every album grabbed me right away. Way more than PW, GuP and COS were by far at the bottom of the barrel that literally took me years of 'trying' to find something worthwhile other than what was on Chronicles. The funny thing is, once I finally 'got' it, those albums probably became my biggest obsessions on a note by note basis. They are now what I consider some of the band's most ass-kicking genius work. I'm the poster boy for "It's the the band, it's the listener". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Watching Beyond The Lighted Stage again, right now, I am startindlg to reappreciate early Rush. The first two albums sound so much better when you take time to remember the age of the band, and my goodness Hemispheres deserves its own documentary! And as for Permanent Waves, what a splendid transitional album! I will be spinning those early albums a lot more over the next week. Amazing documentary! Yeah, Permanent Waves...forgot how amazing it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm sick and tired of all the complaints about threads that I start. I've noticed too that they all come from members who never start threads. From now on, all of you that complain - start your own. Edited January 5, 2015 by Lorraine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreww Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The beauty of PW is that even though the band had started to go off in a new direction, the sound of each of their instruments hand't yet changed. Great album and still probably one of my top 3 favourites of theirs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
