QUOTE (rushgoober @ Jan 4 2007, 05:41 AM) All this thread ultimately proves once again is that there is no opinion about any given Rush album, song or songs with which EVERYONE will agree. While there are a goodly few people out there (including me) who believe HYF is a great album, save for the last two songs, there will always be people to come along to disagree. Someone here even said Prime Mover (my favorite song on HYF) was one of the weakest tracks on the album.
Just goes to show, we can't ALL agree on ANYTHING, except perhaps the most generic assessment that Rush is a great group.
Quoted for truth and justice. That's one of my favorite things about Rush-how there are hardly any two fans with the exact same opinions about things.
In my opinion, although both are near the weaker end of the CD, I still love them both, and the only reason they rank low for me is because of what they're up against-Tai Shan is...well, different, and you have to look at it a bit differently. Because, really, comparing Tai Shan to, say, Force Ten, would be like comparing Simon and Garfunkel to Led Zeppelin, really, and the fact that Rush can vary so much from soft to hard rock in just one album is truly amazing.
