Earthshine Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I am sorry. Very sorry. I have been listening to Rush for over 30 years and have seen them 16 times in concert and will go again this tour if I can get a ticket. I don't think there are any "bad" Rush songs. Snakes & Arrows is growing on me day by day (The album that is, not the snakes, arrows or anything else! ) and I will probably end up liking it more than I do now. But if there is such a thing as a bad Rush song, it has to be Good News First! What were they thinking????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PariahDog Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Sorry, you're forgetting a few other contenders: Tai Shan, High Water, Face Up, You Bet Your Life, Speed of Love, Virtuality, Dog Years. I dunno, for me the chorus , bridge, and solo sections of Good News more than make up for the ( strange ) verses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I think this is probably the weakest song on the album, but I don't even think it's a BAD song, much less the WORST Rush song EVER. Gotta go with "Tai Shan." I don't even remember it (sold HYF years ago) but I remember hating the crap out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grilledweasel Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Sorry, Dude. I really like "Good News First". I don't like "Dog Years" or "The Speed of Love" or "Emotion Detector", but "Good News First" is a very good song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kooma Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I think their "weakest" song is Hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustMe74 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 What's wrong with Good News First? I think it's decent. Certainly not the worst song they've ever done.. what about Rivendell, Tai Shan, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizzle fo Rizzle Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 It's actually one of the more interesting songs on te album in my opinion. Killer bridge and solo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowman Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I would rate a lot of other Rush song as weaker than Good News First. It is maybe the weakest song on the album. I rate S&A very high, maybe the best since HYF and I think that Rush havent released such an solid album since MP. It is not a weak track on S&A.

Icarus Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Shai Tan wasn't that bad, surely. Was it? Worst Rush song would most likely come from their first 2 albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 At this point it is my choice for weakest tune on the album, but it's not that bad it's pretty good in fact... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madra sneachta Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 It took a while to grow on me, but it's by no means a bad song IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msrushfreak Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Good News First is my early favorite. The haunting chorus is sticking with me more than anything else on the whole album right now. Do they still call them albums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112-Rob-2112 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 ill admit i skip good news first everytime i listen to S&A i hate the part where he says.."Lets have the good news instead" it totally does not flow with the music..sounds like he just stuck it in there last minute..ahh i hate that part.
