goose Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 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.Ged said the same thing. He wasn't keen on reviving it. 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.With the light show and all, it turned out to be a highlight of the R40 show for many, many fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Available Light.Why is everyone drooling over this song?Everyone considers this to be the late 80's Xanadu or 2112.Who in their right mind says that? 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.I meant that you gotta look for topics about the song, Presto, etc.I've looked up lots of lists of people's favorite Rush songs. Available Light is there quite a lot Ahhh...I see. To support your thought, I like it a lot and put it at #2 or #3 off Presto behind The Pass and maybe the title track.

Top 3 off Presto still doesn’t equate to “everyone drooling over it” imho. And that’s even coming from me who likes it a lot. Far Cry is probably the most liked song off Snakes but I wouldn’t equate that to “everyone drooling over it”. Anyway, moving on. :hail: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, moving on. :hail:I'll now admit, "drooling over it" is kind of an over-exaggeration there. But to be honest, I can at least say that Available Light is an overrated song when talking about the album, mostly when comparing to other songs (more specifically, ranking).
