fraroc Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Seriously, I like this song a lot. It's a very catchy song with a great riff and when it was preformed live, it seriously looked like they had a lot of fun playing it. I'd rather listen to Superconductor any day over Rivendell, Dog Years, or The Speed of Love. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I've never really understood it other than the backup vocals and the production (both courtesy of that one producer iirc). Fine tune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I hate eggs of all types. Slimy texture depending on the cooking style, unpleasing odor, and the taste makes me want to gag. However, it remains a beloved dish by millions if not billions. A simple matter of...taste. Oh Superconductor...When Rush played it on the Presto tour I remember the crowd and them loving it! It's a decent song I think. It's not Presto's best but certainly not its worst either. I also enjoy it more than half of Roll the Bones. When the topic of "worst or bad Rush songs" is mentioned, I never think of Superconductor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) It's the chorus that really kills it with the Van Morrison wannabe going "Superconducterrrrrr"... Edited October 18, 2017 by treeduck 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 it sounds like a battery commercial jingle. Mick 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Sounds like they were told they needed one more song quickly to fill out the cd and put this piece of crap together 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Fair or not, some of the hate might have to do with the embarrassing video .. Unfortunately, the video suits the song perfectly 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Fair or not, some of the hate might have to do with the embarrassing video .. The video is terrible. I like the song, Alex's guitar crunch, and, especially, the groovy bridge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Fair or not, some of the hate might have to do with the embarrassing video .. Unfortunately, the video suits the song perfectly Hard to know. But I'd guess nearly all Rush fans heard the song way before they saw the video. If anything, the most likely case for haters would've been that they hated the song first then later hated the video TOO. And thinking along those lines, the even shittier Time Stand Still video hasn't seemed to stop fans from liking that song Edited October 18, 2017 by JohnnyBlaze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 verse is pretty goodpre-chorus is beautiful (selling point of the song)chorus is bad but tolerable does this song have a guitar solo? I honestly forget. so if it does it's obviously not a memorable one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 It’s not very “Rushy”. More like video game music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 DULL song!Funny but it seems that a lot of folks that dig Superconductor will express love for Madrigal or Rivendell. Give me upbeat parody all day over that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
