WCFIELDS Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 It's hard to believe these albums were back to back...... Moving Pictures to Signals Imagine if this forum existed back then? lol There must've been some pissed off fans on the day Signals was released.

Kudzu Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 I actually find Signals to be a logical progression from Moving Pictures. I don't know what the diehard fans all thought of it at the time, but retrospectively, it just seems like a no-brainer. The Hemispheres to Permanent Waves transition was much more of a leap, IMO.

It makes all the talk about S&A look like a tea party. What Pedro said is very true. I remember that time fondly. Most Rush fans I knew (as a teenager) were downright pissed. As usual though, over time, most of them came around and Signals became one of the most beloved records of all time from Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shift from MP to Signals was miniscule compared to the change imposed upon us by GUP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 QUOTE (nic2112nic @ May 6 2007, 01:07 PM) Well for me, it was HYF to Presto Yeah, I agree with this one. Roll the Bones to Counterparts was another big leap, CP is so much heavier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The O' Sullivan Factor Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Hemispheres to Permanent Waves Less keyboards, (but more prominent), Neil writing with a completely different style, Ged singing in a different register, an end of the acoustics Alex had been building up through all albums prior, and overall a more concise, digestible, and poppier sound. Yea this' certainly the biggest leap in terms of everything. Signals seems the logical progression from MP the only big change is where the guitar sits in the mix, is that really such a big deal?

Weakly Criminal Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 It's definitely Signals to GUP for me, and mostly because of the haircuts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priest_of_syrinx Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 How about 2112 to A Farewell To Kings? I hear a big change there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The O' Sullivan Factor Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 ^ I don't really, Time Sigs were added but Acoustic stuff was used throughout 2112, actually I think part of the reason the Overture is so heavy is simply because of the manic Acoustic stuff in the background. Everything that transpired in A Farewell to Kings was hinted at on 2112. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Emotions Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I gotta go with HYF to Presto, as you go from an album with a whole lotta keys to one that scales back the keys quite a bit. But MP--> Signals is also a drastic transition in the other direction, although MP had quite a bit of keys to begin with. Rather, the Signals album puts the keys up front a lot more than it had been previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
