JohnnyBlaze Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 All the talk about lyrics, gimme a break. Maybe Neil was a little preoccupied by completely reinventing his approach to drumming to write the perfect lyrics.. Who the hell turns to RUSH for decent lyrics any way?? When Neil writes bad lyrics it only makes him like most other bands and no less.. Dont make me post the lyrics to 'lick it up' dammit!! ;) "It's only right now" I think your wit has finally transcended my comprehension sir.. Whatchu talkin bout?? Lol Kiss lyric to Lick It Up...aka the song you mentioned. Don't make me bust out with that dumb ass video 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedRush Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Amazing album...around the middle of all Rush albums. Far better than most of the synth era and the horrible album which preceded it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Test For Echo is a super meh album. It's the only Rush album I don't own, if that's indicative of anything. I think about getting it again sometimes, but Right now, I'm listening to A Farewell to Kings...so the thought of seeking out Test For Bleccho seems just kind of silly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) I don't care much for the sound or maybe more specifically, Alex's guitar tone. The whole thing has a fuzziness and distortion to it that puts me off. Ditto Geddy's bass. Counterparts sounded way better Love it. "Counterparts" is the last great Rush record. It broke my soul when the boys didn't play "Alien Shore" but believe it or not I have a sharp mind for being such a radical Rush maniac. I remember hearing rumors that the boys played "Alien Shore" a few times on the East Coast. Fact or fiction? No doubt it was fiction. Alien Shore is one amazing Rush song. Musically it kicks butt. and I like the subject matter. Not sure how I feel about the lyrics though. "We are strangers by one chromosome..." eeeehhhhhhhh I love Alien Shore and Totem. Agree about the silly lyrics, but who cares? :D Edited August 3, 2017 by Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronos Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 It's got Time and Motion, which just might be the best song from Presto to Clockwork Angels, so it's got that going for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you try to remove the shit from ice cream, it's still going to taste like shit. 'Testicle For IMO" LOL!!!!! Musically solid like a turd. Lyrically? Diarrhea of the pen. Thanks Neil Spurt.

WildKineticDreams Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Test For Echo is a really forgettable album. It's in my personal bottom 5. Not their worst, I actually enjoy cuts like Driven and Cut away the stone. But I also have to say that Dog Years and Virtuality are two of the worst songs they've ever written. It's a bad cut.

driventotheedge Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I loved this album from the very first listen. Although it does contain the worst lyrics in any Rush song out there with "Dog Years". Aside from that, I agree with you about the production. I love Alex's playing on this record.Loved it from the first listen too.Think Driven is an absolutely awesome song and was very disappointed when it wasn't included in the R40 setlist. Like pretty much most of the rest of them too.Best production of anything in their latter career and it ain't even close.Maybe best produced album of theirs ever.Am I the only person in the world that gets that Dog Years was humor, meant to be funny and not taken seriously? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driven is the best tune on there by far. Total quality! As for Dog Years, I don't mind it. I like it more than some songs on T4E. It's just an "ok" song for me. I think nearly everyone knows it's meant to be humorous...but that doesn't mean they think or even have to think it's humorous. The Roll the Bones rap is the same for me. I don't mind it and I know that it was meant as a joke...but I'm not laughing. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
