quickfree Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 its an okay record. i tend to like simple, short songs these days. Carve Away The Stone has actually grown on me since it was released. Time and Motion is another favorite, I still have no idea why it was dropped so early in the 96 tour. But some songs just can't be salvaged though even after 10 years (Dog Years/Virtuality).

ILSnwdog Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 It's funny how people go back and forth on this one. One man's turd is another man's treasure. As for T4E, it's not Moving Pictures or Kings, but it has some of their best stuff from the 90s on it. The song Test for Echo ROCKS (it's my ring tone on my phone), and Time and Motion is an incredible tune. Resist ain't half bad either (the live acoustic version is the best). Then there is Dog Years and Virtuality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I consider Test for Echo to be spiritless and bland. The only song that has any "fire" for me would be "Carve away the Stone". If it weren't for Geddy's voice (which seems to be rather distant), I'd never know it was Rush but just another 90's rock group that has no memorability.

ReMarkable Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 TFE may not be the pick of the litter but I rate it better than Vapor Trails. One of my top 5 songs on my list is Half The World. I don't think Neil was lyrically lazy at all..especially with this song. My one and only (so far) Rush show was TFE Dec 1996 so I am loooong overdue !!

clearingsky Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 People who know me for my Rush fandom are usually suprised when I list T4E as a favorite Rush album.Of course,these are people who never gave it much of listen to begin with.Even worse,their judgements being based on the stereotypes of others.

WCFIELDS Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I love TFE.....sure it has some bad lyrics but I can deal with them. I've always liked it far better than Counterparts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
