Cyclonus X-1 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 3/10. Too repetitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken hawk Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 6 For me " The reason for the Middle Kingdom is because it's a middle between Heaven and Earth. In other words, it's slightly below Heaven - but still above everybody on Earth." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket ignites Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I give it an 8, not a perfect 10, but I love the song lyrically and it is very catchyI feel the same. Strong 8. Intriguing lyrics. One of my favorites of the 80's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeson90 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Solid 8 but doesnt hit heights of Grand Designs Mystic Rhythms or even Emotion Detector. For me, anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirteen Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 8/10 - Studio version. Brilliant song. I like it more than Limelight and Tom Sawyer. 9/10 - A Show of hands live version. Close to perfection. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Second fav on PoW 10/10 with Marathon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Barchetta Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 8. Just like the others on this album. Very solid and very underrated by a large segment of the fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 10s I reserve for the super elite. This guy is right behind them at 9. This and Marathon are my two favorites off PoW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnify Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 9; lyrically great (and very pertinent today), musically, I find it very interesting and unique. Geddy has a killer bass line in there; the song just has a cool groove. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Honest Man Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I gave it a nine. I have always loved this song from the first time I heard it and have always felt it was way underrated. I was pleasantly surprised to hear them play it on the Clockwork Angels tour! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabesCavesOfIce Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) As a yuuuuge fan of everything 70s Rush. I have always liked the soaring pace of this synth era tune. It could almost pass as an epic, with differing themes appearing and reappearing. And interesting lyrics regarding the dangers of populism. Very relevant message, over 30 years later. 9 of 10. .

Mystic Slipperman Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 - A Show of hands live version. Close to perfection. Heard that version today on the way to work. 10/10. I was so thrilled when it returned to the setlist on the Angels tour. MAN! that was sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianice Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I have to give the song a 10, as i have the album rates a 10 as well. Talk about a Classic, I never get tired of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Looked at the poll and wondered "Who the hell would give it a 1?!!" Then I checked and thought, "Well yeah of course." :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prolix Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 8. A very solid song from one of my favorite Rush albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That One Guy Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 At one point it was possibly my favorite Rush track. As a 17 year old I got many non-Rush fans into this track alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaportrailer Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) Musically stuck in the amber of the 80s.Lyrically, I like the idea, but comes across as clunky to me.Interesting that so many people like this song that I almost always skip.Then again I like Vapor Trails, so what the hell do I know? :P :D Edited April 6, 2017 by vaportrailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
