Side one is consistently great. Side two, not so much.

Witch Hunt is the worst???

 

Yes.

Geez, then it's a f**king masterpiece then :rage:

 

To me, Kate Jackson was the least attractive of Charlie’s Angels in the original tv series. And she was still a ‘10’ in the world of babes!

I vacillate between really digging TCE and then thinking it's a bit bloated and repetitive. The keyboard motif kinda seems lame at times - like the soundtrack for an 80s dance competition.

 

But then I end up loving it again.

 

I think all is redeemed whenever Alex appears.

 

And NP seems to be physically hauling the song - the fills are super powerful - and the snare work at the top is great. Without that energy the song would just whither away.

:goodone:

 

Alex and Neil crush on this one. The atmospheric stuff is drawn out, but I think that is true of all RUSH's longer pieces.

I understand the importance of Witch Hunt in their discography, and I generally like the ideas in it, but the execution has always fallen a little flat to my ears. I think they zeroed in on that overwhelming sense of fear and dread much better on Red Sector A, Between The Wheels, The Weapon, and Distant Early Warning. The rest of MP is great though, with only TCE being on the weaker side of great.

All great.

 

Years back, TRF voted Red Barchetta as the best (shorter length) Rush tune of all time. Just saying

 

Where is that poll? I can't find it.

 

Don’t know. It’s got to be at least 8-10 years old by now.

 

Was gonna say I'm not sure I remember that poll and I've been on here a decent length of time by now.

I feel like it took multiple polls. But I remember being surprised that Red Barchetta was representing MP as I assumed it’d be Limelight. That’s all I can tell you. Who knows, it might just be false memories ((but I doubt it)).

 

You could always make a completely new poll after taking the best, shorter length tune from each album.
