I really like this topic, so I just had to register.
Hi everybody!
Now, here is the deal:
- If we're talking about studio versions, I would say "Freeze" is my
favourite song in the "fear" series. The studio recordings of the
last 2 songs on MP plus most of Signals and GuP are to thin
sounding. If they had the same power as in the GuP live video, that
period could probably be my favourite. Much more guitar, but no less
keyboard.
- Most overrated album: Counterparts. Can't see
what's so special about it. People talk all the time
about "the best thing since CP". I would say VT, S&A
and probably also CA is their best stuff since Power
Windows. (at least)
- Most overrated song could be "Jacobs ladder". They
could easily cut 1-2 mins of that song. They could
do that with many old "epics", and it would help the
old albums to rock all the way through.
- Most underrated song could be "Spindrift". I really like the powerfull
singing in some parts of the song. (not Geddy's ooooooo's)
The outro is rocking soooo hard!
- The guitar solo in BU2B is the best one of the 3
new songs, and I almost don't want to call it a
solo.
- Can't see why people are going crazy about Alex's
shredding solos in songs like Headlong flight or
Working man on the latest tour. If any other
guitarrist would have played exactly the same, most
of you would call it emotionless crap.
I myself prefer his more melodic 80's solos.
- I don't see any of the band members as master
musicians. I just like the way they write music, and
tries to explore new horizons. Dream Theater plays
with their brains, Rush with their hearts. For me
Rush > DT because of that.
- My favourite Rush music video is....... Far cry!
- C'mon girls, are the Rush guys really THAT good looking!?
- I like it when they don't try to hurry the realease of the new album.
We all want quality, don't we?
Just my thoughts!
