I swear people only dislike S&A because of the vocals... better vocals than the other 2000s albums :rage:

Is that really why people hate hate Snakes so much? I had no idea

 

I love "Snakes." 'We Hold On" is incredible. Wish they played that one live.

 

I love "Roll The Bones." "Test For Echo" and "Vapor Trails" are my top two stinkers.

 

Snakes isn't that bad of an album. It has several good songs on it, "We Hold On" being one of them.

That's one of the really bad songs!

 

Says who?

Me, but we can put it to the test if you like? Select a "bad" song, in your opinion, and we'll do a poll.

Who cares what a poll says? I like the song.

Ok, but you're just one person, you don't speak for everyone.

Lol no I have no problem with the vocals. For me the songwriting on SnA is just really forgettable at times and even sub-par. Only Far Cry really strikes me as a great songwriting accomplishment for the band. Maybe The Way The Wind Blows on a good day.

Armor And Sword? The Larger Bowl? Faithless? Good News First?

 

Armor And Sword gets boring. The Larger Bowl I can't remember how it goes off the top of my head. Faithless I truly dislike and makes my bottom 5 Rush songs easy. Good News First is sub-par.

 

For me, the vocals are one thing - the worst thing. But then the songs are plodding, as if I’m walking knee deep in a swamp.

 

On a 1-4 star scale...

 

Far Cry: 2 stars...the best of the 2 star songs

A/S: 2

WTA: 2

TLB: 2

Spindrift: 1

TMMB: 3

Hope: 2

Faithless: 1

Bravest Face: 1

GNN: 2

MalNar: 3

We Hold On: 2

 

Average: 1.76 stars

 

Some of those 2s are generous simply because they’re not as unlistenable as the 1s.

how the hell does Far Cry get 2 stars? and Workin' Them Angels? have you been doin' crack lately?

 

Why are other’s opinions so hard for you to accept? Nobody goes nuts when you rip Presto.

I'm getting sallllllty :wacko:

I accept opinions, just wanna joke around (whether or not the jokes are bad)

 

but tbh I would like to hear why Far Cry and WTA are 2 stars...

 

I see.

 

You want to know why I think Far Cry and WTA are just “okay”? This is your question?

 

Far Cry...

a) the “oohs” don’t help

b) if there’s a Lifeson solo I don’t even remember it

c) the chorus does absolutely nothing for me

d) all of the above

e) the real answer is d

 

WTA...

a) I didn’t even remember how this goes and had to check back at the lyrics to jar my memory of the melody

b) I feel like I’m riding an old horse through some massive sand dunes in 110 degree weather with 99% humidity

c) read c as “plodding”

d) I already mentioned plodding knee deep through a swamp in a previous post - - apply that thought to this song

e) the lyrics don’t bother me really but it does have a whiff of “look at me and look how far I push myself”

f) certainly a-e

 

There’s a reason why my Snakes & Arrows CD is the most pristine looking Rush CD I own. Meanwhile, Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures are beaten to shit as if they’ve been through a few decades of gladiatorial combat at the Colosseum.

Go to YouTube and listen to Armor & Sword on 1.25x speed.

Give it a few minutes to get your ears used to it like that's the way it was originally recorded and should sound.

Now go back to normal speed. Sounds like a walkman with dying batteries, doesn't it?

That song is a friggin' SLOG

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING???

Good songs, ruined by tempo. In concert they sucked the energy out of the venue.

I just deleted my vote. I have an album I'm putting on hold at the local library I want to re-listen to before making an honest, and final, decision. Right now HYF holds the inside track, but want to be sure. Edited by pjbear05
