chemistry1973 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 2112 :sundog: One of those tracks where it worked better in the studio. Live, especially in early versions, the song rarely worked - sometimes too fast, sometimes the toms are pitched too high, sometime the band doesn't congeal ---always seems to be some issue. Different Stages though - that version is super rad and I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Available Light. Beautiful lyrics and touching arrangement that skillfully suits Geddy's voice. And GREAT playing by Lifeson, especially in that second verse. I think it's a sly nod to Tom Sawyer too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yyz2112 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Xanadu and Camera Eye both for the same reasons - too few ideas for such long songs. Both need editing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar for me, I think it's ok but would say there are much better songs on Presto, which is a pretty low bar tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's beauuuuuuutifully balanced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Broon-produced albums are beautifully balanced but that doesn't change my rating of the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driventotheedge Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Why was everyone so keen on hearing Jacob's Ladder until they finally played it on R40? I mean, nice song but seems a bit unremarkable to me. So I guess that makes it overrated in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of Alex's babies.I play almost the whole song on guitar, and it's really, really fun to jam on (though the tempo feels a little sludgy to me today).In other words, like a lot of prog, it's more fun to play than to listen to.

Available Light isnt bad but I never hear anyone mention itI like that song, but lots of people say it's one of their best. You have to deeply search for it. If you have to “deeply search for it” then it means that everyone does NOT drool over it. Not even that many drool over it if you have to search for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostRider Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Tom Sawyer. It’s not a bad song by any means, but there are so many better Rush songs that you can listen to, and Tom Sawyer is not that high up on my list of greatest Rush songs though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
