But to #5’s one word comment I reply, “Holy shit. ‘Lazy’?! Rush?! They were like three hyperactive bees for their entire career.”I am not saying they are lazy. Just that that one song seems like a lazy effort. It is not Rush-like to me at all. My drummer loves that song for some reason and wanted to play it and I just couldn't understand why. Nothing challenging about it, and just bleh. It really seems like, uh we need one more song for this album, do a little jam, eh ok record it. But overall, Rush lazy absolutely not.

edhunter Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 This thread is not fair. There are 11 equally,utterly, totally, completely, entirely shitty songs on Test For Echo. 6 of them shouldn't be let off the hook because you only want 5! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't make my bottom 25 list. But when you listen to the rest of Caress of Steel the feel of that song is just all wrong. IMO It is a typical sounding 70's classic rock song with cheesy lyrics. But when you compare that to the rest of the album, it really falls short. Is all I'm saying. And I don't hate any of them, but when you look at a body of work, there will be the best, the middle and the worst. No matter how impressive the body of work is. These songs are just the least impressive in my book. Edited February 22, 2018 by Ultimate Rush Tribute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although 1 or 2 my be close to strong angst, :sundog: I love that tune and the older i got the more the lyrics rang true to me Once we loved the flowersNow we ask the price of the landOnce we would take waterBut now it must be wineNow we've beenAnd now we've seenWhat price peace of mindTake a piece of my mind My 5 worst songs are the worst because they were overplayed during the synth years like Red sector aMarathon Early distant warning Blah blah blah Edited February 22, 2018 by tangy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think Bald is still a good tune. A typical sounding 70s classic rock song qualifies it for NOT being one of the worst five Rush songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Probably in this order... 1) Bravest Face...yodeling garbage 2) You Bet Your Life...sounds like Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire” - Buddy Holly Ben Hur bla bla bla suck 3) Speed of Love...(underserving of a comment) 4) Rivendell...Necromancer is an example of a good song made when drugged up; Rivendell is an example of a shit song when drugged up 5) Face Up...these lyrics kill this song for me. If it were an instrumental or just a bunch of humming I'd pass it. It’s a shame as the music behind the words is decent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
