  1. Cygnus without a doubt. makes my ears bleed every time.
  2. I sometimes dread reading this topic because I know my daughter will always be autistic and there will be no miracle cure. All I can do is try to get her the best therapies and hope she has a chance at a somewhat normal life. The worst part is wondering what will happen to her after I'm gone. My thoughts are with all of you that are dealing with a similar situation. Sigh. I think it's time escape to the "That's It" thread.
  3. holding breath for review of their finest work "Fair Warning".
  4. ^^^^ likes...uh...oil rigs... n stuff.
  5. Dear _____ It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.
  6. I met Geddy and Alex during the T4E tour. I was very nervous to meet Geddy since I had worshipped him for like 25 years. I said a few words to him and found him to be polite but a little reserved. Alex was definitely more personal and talkative.
  7. wow there is some heavy discussion goin down in here. I'm going back to the "that's it" thread.

  13. I'm a big fan of the first 2 albums and even the remix album, but the new single is not doing it for me. Is the rest of the album any good? Much appreciated.
  14. It's good but doesn't really blow my hair back. Not yet anyway. The Mellotron is cool.
  15. im surprised Armor and Sword is winning all these polls. It definitely took a few listens before i grew to love it. I'm still going with Workin Them Angels. I still get chills during the chorus.
  16. The dense layers of Alex's guitar work on the chorus of Workin' Them Angels. Very GUPish. Blows my hair back.

GNR are the former, Queensryche are the latter. I also don't consider Zeppelin to really be "hard rock" either. clearly you don't consider Zeppelin metal do you?
  18. QUOTE (deslock @ Apr 13 2007, 04:23 PM) Neil has been a moderate, liberal-leaning libertarian agnostic/atheist for decades. He's also been directly critical of the religious right many times. amalignantfarcry, your statement, "Deep inside I get the feeling he holds such great anger towards a higher power for ripping his wife and child from him" doesn't make any sense as Peart has never believed in any higher power to get angry at (at least for as long as he's been with Rush). It's obvious from his lyrics, books, articles, and interviews. I also don't understand your statement that Fear has become a big issue with Neil. It's a topic he's touched on many times over the decades. As far your assertion that Neil is "starting to rail on like a liberal", you can go back to Counterparts and find lyrics that advocate social equality for women and gays (Nobody's Hero, Alien Shore). Go back to Presto and P/G for lyrics about environmental problems (Red Tide, DEW). Go back to Power Windows for lyrics against hunger, war, and nationalism (Territories). That he's also written lyrics promoting individualism (Roll the Bones, Tom Sawyer, Freewill, The Trees, etc) doesn't change that he leans liberal on some issues. And many of those same songs about individualism also promoted atheism/agnostism... given who his influences were (like Ayn Rand), this shouldn't be surprising. Part of the argument here may be more about the definition of liberal and libertarian and whether or not those terms conflict. For the purposes of this discussion, I'll refer to liberal in the commonly used sense (as opposed to one of the traditional definitions of embracing change). Some conservatives say that liberal and libertarian are opposites and it's true that several liberal positions are associated with authoritarianism (such as gun control, affirmative action, and economic regulations). However, on many topics liberalism is closer to libertarianism, especially when it comes to social issues. For example: I'm sure all of us will agree that anyone under the influence of drugs (alcohol, pot, etc) should never be in positions where they could cause harm (driver, air traffic controller, operator of machinery, etc) but it's both liberal and libertarian to believe that what drugs people do on their own time is not the government's business.It's both liberal and libertarian to believe that it isn't the government's place to regulate birth control or gay marriage/civil unions.It's both liberal and libertarian to believe that children should not be indoctrinated into religion by public schools and that religion should be a personal decision.There are obviously other topics where people of many ideologies cross-over (abortion, military spending, foreign policy), but that's another topic. I feel like a dumbass.
  19. QUOTE (amalignantfarcry @ Apr 13 2007, 03:40 PM) I must have listened to Far Cry about 600 times by now and have not heard a single key in there. Spindrift on the other hand...sounds hauntingly beautiful and the 30 seconds of it showed me some damn fine music. Ditto MalNar. Far Cry on the other hand never did anything for me and I was struggling to like it. wow after 600 times I think its safe to say Far Cry will not grow on you. I really like it alot but hope it's not the best track on the record.
  20. I'm still waiting for Mastereggcream to let us know how Snakes and Arrows holds up next to the entire Rush discography.
  21. great review. im a little concerned that he thinks MalNar is the best of the instrumentals.
