Rushman14 Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 QUOTE (Pause Rewind Replay @ Mar 14 2008, 05:16 PM) Well my least favorite is the much-praised Secret Touch. However, Out Of The Cradle is my 3rd least favorite on VT... I generally skip Secret Touch, Freeze, and Out Of The Cradle. Rest of VT though haha those just might be my 3 favorites on VT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapes_under_pressure Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 yay. ilove this song. it took me awhile to 'get' but when i did i was blown away. gives me chills, in a sort of, electric way. leaset favourite song is ghost rider, other than that , it's my fave album, after all! but avaliable light is the best album closer ever.

TheRocinanteKid Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 For me Out Of The Cradle is the weakest song on Vapor Trails just as Carve Away The Stone is the weakest song on Test For Echo. Did Rush see it that way? I doubt it! Finishing an album with the weakest song is a sure fire way to get bad reviews, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth of the listener and is much more likely to leave them a negative state of mind about the record. That said I do enjoy both Out Of The Cradle and Carve Away The Stone I just think they're clear weak links on their respective albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig34 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I feel that it is a very strong closer and contains high energy throughout the song, especially in the end when they're all jammin their brains out. Awesome bass and drum fills also. I would vote "Stars look Down" as the weakest song on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew1 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 QUOTE (Rushman14 @ Mar 21 2007, 12:52 PM) Much to my surprise, many people have listed "Out Of The Cradle" as they're least favorite of Vapor Trails. I'm a bit shocked as it is tied with Secret Touch as my favorite, especially the end fadout section when Neil is going off with those killer drum fills. It's a great album closer and makes the hair on the back of neck stand up. Speak up "Out Of The Cradle" fans! Right on dude! I was just talking to my friend today about this song and the part you mentioned. It's not just Neil either. Geddy's bass line is just sick! Whoever doesn't like this song don't know what they're talking about. "weak song," my ass! Don't comment on this site if you're that ignorant.

Expect your special scotch stash to mysteriously go missing in the near future... Expect barbequed Duck a L'Orange if this happens Duck and Fridge, y'all crack me up with your brotherly sniping. Seeing as how both my wife and I have used lines from "Out of the Cradle" to derive our nicknames (hers is RockTheCradle), I think it's safe to say we like it. It's a perfect closer and isn't the weakest track on the album - I lean toward "How It Is" for that distinction. For a while, I was swayed by some of the arguments here that "Vapor Trails" was a weak effort overall, but in recent listens, I've come out of that perspective. I'm solidly with the camp who says we should be grateful "Vapor Trails" happened, because the band might not still be together if Neil hadn't chosen to move forward and ultimately help craft this album. Way more than half of this album has solid songs on it, so that in and of itself shows it is not a weak effort. "Out of the Cradle" possesses an energy and drive which leaves a listener wanting and expecting more on the next effort. That's a perfect closing song.

GeddyRulz Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 My least favorite on the album is "The Stars Look Down." I agree with the sentiment of the lyrics, but the song doesn't go anywhere for me; it's short, mid-tempo, and just sits there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1974FAN Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 If you read Ghost Rider (the book), you'll get a better appreciation for the lyrics. It talks about Neil's inner "selves". I also think it has something to do with them getting older and they just keep on rockin'. I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
