WCFIELDS Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Dog Years would've been a good instrumental.....they should re-release that and Virtuality with the vocals tracks muted...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReflectedLight Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I liked" Dog Years" maybe because of it's simpicity and I thought the music to "virtuality" was rockin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReflectedLight Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 When I listened to S & A for the first time I thought "Good News First" was my favorite of the bunch. It's such a great release musically and I still like GNF alot and ranks up at the top for me. (thumbs up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCFIELDS Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 There are way too many effects on the verse vocals......and the oooooooo's, sound stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachy girl x Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I freaking adore this song. One of my favourite rush songs ever. It's such a healer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket ignites Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 I really like "Good News First"...sounds like it could've come off Counterparts. Definitely a top 5 song off S&A for me! I also rate "Dog Years" and "Carve away the Stone" (so unnderrated, love how the song builds) as my favs. off T4E. Sheer hate for Dog Years has always befuddled me.

GeddyLeeFender Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Good News First i dont think is the worst song on the album even, i dont really like "The Larger Bowl" that much. But the solo is really good. Also Virtuality is a pretty decent song, and i dont even really like Test for Echo...the Chorus is pretty catchy.

GernTheFish Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Maybe I'm just , but I think GNF is one of the strongest tracks on S&A. Actually I think it's one of the best songs over the past 3 or 4 albums. Maybe I've just gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReflectedLight Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 the only song i can't get into musically is spindrift, and they'll probably play that one. good news first is so easy to listen to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazyyz Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 To me it is one of the better songs on the album. I think We Hold On is lacking, followed by Larger Bowl, followed by Far Cry. The rest of the songs are quite exception. I haven't really cared for the singles chosen by Rush in their latter years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prog.fusion Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 the worst on S&A? yes. worst Rush song ever? no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackStagePass Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I am suprised that 'Superconductor' gets mentioned a lot, I like its quick tempo. Anyone who says 'Vital Signs' should put on headphones and listen to the live version on Rush in Rio very loud. It kicks ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushfanNlv Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 The opening and the chorus have a very heavy "Counterparts" kind of feel to it. The guitars have that deep, woody and dark kind of sound with a lot of delay....I like it. I would have to say one of the better songs on the album. Ged's vocals are top notch. Cool effects.

Rush Man Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Roll The Bones,how i do not like that song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigG Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I'm loving it. The opening is what rock music is all about: Total wall of noise guitars with loose heavy drums grooving underneath (the open hi-hat fill give a great shape) The verse: really ominous and moody. That weird voice, textured guitar, beautiful creative drums build to the great chorus Check the guitar rock out at the end of the chorus. The only things I don't like are the triplet fill into the solo - a real Peart trade mark, but they never flow or me and the OTT 16 note run down the toms under the chorus after the solo, that's just having a rush of blood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoenataArctica Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 good news first is pretty good. if i had to choose their worst song, it would be the one titled; I think I'm Going Bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friendlyvoice Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I think it's a pretty good tune. I wish the rest of the song rocked a little harder like the intro, but it's still a good one, regardless. Faithless is far and away my least favorite song on the album. Least favorites from other albums include: Tai Shan, The Speed of Love, Rivendell, Dog Years, Totem (know a lot of folks like that one, but, for me, yecch), War Paint and the last 4 songs on Presto (or as I call it, the "Where's Alex?" album). Don't care much for the 2 epics on CoS. I always give the first album a pass on stuff like this...after all, Neil wasn't around for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm going bald, that is. the song flows nicely, along with the lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 This is a GREAT TUNE!!! My favorite part is when Alex goes to that acoustic guitar sound and Geddy sings, "Some would say they never fear a thing Well I do And I'm afraid enough for both of us For me and you" I love the echo effect on "Well I do" and "For me and you." Incredible song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
