I don't believe your facts are true. Likeclockwork said The Garden sounds nothing like what you describe and I really do think he's legit. He knew the lyrics to Headlong Flight way before anybody on here had even heard the song. He described The Garden as being a beautiful, melodic song with a theatrical feel.
Cygnify would not lie. Don't mistake my banter with him for disbelief.
I believe he is telling the truth.
Didn't see anything in the track by track review today about a long bluesy song
No, but there was one word in the description of "The Garden" that makes me believe that that's the one my friend heard - "Shuffle"
"Neil lays down a simple shuffle." Judging from your avatar (very similar kit to mine as a matter of fact - down to the same color!) if you are a drummer, you know what a shuffle feels like. Could certainly be a "bluesy" feel. The fact that the review also mentions a significant solo from Alex also supports what my bud heard. My friend thought that particular one was the last song on the disc. He heard it one time, while in the studio with Vertical Horizon and, um, someone who would know, and that was his impression.
Can't wait to hear this album!!
OK....I'll give you a break. I missed that shuffle part when reading it. Probably not an all out blues song but maybe enough of a shuffle for your friend to describe it that way. We'll find out soon enough.
I've heard it. It's actually one of my least favorites!
Do you agree with the review that Halo Effect is an instant Rush classic?
I love Halo Effect but I don't see it being labeled a classic. It's short and melodic with somewhat repetitive lyrics. It also doesn't like anything Rush has ever done before but it's more of a really nice and pretty song than a "classic."
Well, likeclockwork, are there any other songs besides The Garden that really impressed you on the album? Like, what about the title track? I've personally been anxious to hear that one ever since I first read Alex's comments on it from a couple of years ago, and I'd love to read whatever comments you could make on that song.
First post here, btw. Hello everyone!
