Texas King Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Which of these Police-influenced tracks you like better?For me New World Man is much better track. I'm not a fan of Vital Signs at all, and I think it's the weakest track on the album Moving Pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I like New World Man okay...it's a fun little ditty. Â But I think Vital Signs has much more weight to it...it's much more engaging, to my ears...and my whole body. Â Vital Signs wins handily! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Vital Signs. Nothing on Signals comes close to MP. HONESTLY. Even the songs I really love, Losing It or Countdown...not even slightly close. Vital Signs is great. It is also my least favourite song of MP. But that's kind of like saying it's my least favourite Nightwish album. I love it tonnes! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosher Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 New World Man was the first song I ever owned by Rush. From a compilation album, and before I connected them with so many other songs I liked. But I put the needle on that track often, it is an important song to my history with Rush. Vital Signs is the better song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tangy Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I love them both. Splitting hairs but will go with vital signs. Still the bass and lyrics of nwm? If i recall correctly and thats a big if. nwm was their highest charting song? Out of all their songs that says something. .. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm moving your polls into there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexMike Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 NWM. Vital Signs has never done much for me and is the only weak link on an otherwise flawless album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket ignites Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 New World Man gets a little overlooked it seems but Vital Signs is a great song. Edge to VS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 NWM is a good pop song but Vital Signs is full on prog heaven. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I love both songs. But "Vital Signs" is a very important song in the Rush repertoire. At the time, it really was a kick in the balls. It's as progressive as progressive can be. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 yep, Vital Signs for me too ... It took a long time, but when I hear it now, I realize how perfect it is .. Something very dark about it, and I like that 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camera Eye, now THAT'S progressive! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest, a lot of Prog rock is not progressive music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormtron Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Vital Signs easily. NWM is just okay to me, never been in love with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016  If i recall correctly and thats a big if. nwm was their highest charting song? Out of all their songs that says something. .. I recall the same thing. As for my vote, I like Vital Signs a lot. Its a good strong song - although (with the exception of YYZ which I find not to have aged well at all for me) I find it to be the weakest song on MP.  New World Man however, a lot a great deal. Just find it to be slightly more enjoyable. So my vote goes to New World Man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewWorldScott Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I like "New World Man" much more, but the poll results tell me it's not a popular opinion. LOL! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Vital Signs is so weird in a good way. Really love everything about it. New world man is a little too normal which is why it cracked the charts I guess. Btw, I just don't hear the police influence in either one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Vital Signs. For the longest time I thought NWM was too poppy. Very un-Rush-like. I still don't like it as much as I like most of the other songs on Signals but I don't hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 (edited) There may have been slight horror in RushLand, hearing the blatant pop of New World Man on the radio for the first time. Fearful for the content of the next album. No Worries. Signals pushed all of my buttons in all the right places. Phewwww. And with that a growing fondness for the poptastic NWM: it rocks nicely in the choruses and was a great favourite live. Placed perfectly on side 2 after the near-chaos of The Weapon (did Neil break many sticks recording this track ?) Vital Signs is a different beast altogether.Loved it back then, still love it now. It's a bit kooky, it's fun, it's BRAVE. Neil's drumming on the track is fantastic.Eat My Hat Stewart Copeland ! Everybody got to deviate from the Norm. Love it :rush: Edited November 24, 2016 by Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
