Pause Rewind Replay Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Test For Echo wins by default simply for NOT having In The End and Rivendell I'd rather listen to Dog Years and Virtuality covered by Hanson than those two bombs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivendell is a very good song - vastly underrated. T4E has Dog Years and Virtuality. Lyrically, it's no contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredtamasrule Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 One has By-Tor. That totally pwns anything on T4E all by itself. Throw in Beneath, Between & Behind, Anthem and FBN then you have a fireman carry takedown from which T4E cannot recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because FBN is a lot of Randian babble, stuff about "dark lords," and the By-Tor saga...TFE has lyrics like the title track, Totem, Resist, Color of Right, even Carve Away the Stone.

cygnus_thegodofbalance Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 It's my turn to drive It's my turn to drive Driven to the margin of error Driven to the edge of control Driven to the margins of terror Driven to the edge of a deep, dark hole That's Shakespeare right there.

So is this: You feel there's something calling you You're wanting to return To where the misty mountains rise and friendly fires burn A place you can escape the world Where the dark lord cannot go Peace of mind and sanctuary by loud water's flow This is cheesy. Compare it to something like Resist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mankad89 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Am I the only one who thinks "Test For Echo" (title track) is just as epic and badass as any of the vaunted 70s classics, except in a more cohesive/contemporary and less self-indulgent form? That song packs so much into its ~5 minutes. The lyrics are so vivid and the music is angular and intense, I can't believe no one else is with me on this And the lyrics actually MAKE SENSE!

treeduck Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I don't see how these albums need to be compared really, the 21 year gap is HUGE, the eras are completely different. The comparison is pretty much irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarkus406 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Okay well I chose T4E mainly because I currently listen to 90's Rush more than 70's Rush, but that may change at any time. Test for Echo is great for its music, mood, excellent bass stuff, and of course that bitchin album cover. Fly by Night is great for again, its music, lyrics, excellent guitar stuff, and ITS bitchin album cover It's really a draw the way I see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
