EmotionDetector Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Okay...so the final 3 ROUND 1 matchups will occur today. MP finally makes its debut (and only appearance) in this tourney. However, I would believe that most people would call this the "weaker" of the two sides when comparing to Side 1 of the masterpiece known as Moving Pictures. Moving Pictures - Side 2 vs Hold Your Fire - Side 2 So...here we have it. 3 songs vs 5 songs, though I know that many people tend to crap on the last 2 HYF tracks, so it could really be like a 3 vs 3 for some people! Anyways...VOTE! Bring it on...let us know what you think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synth Sense Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Correct on the 3 on 3 thing! Side 2 of MP has all good stuff (even though I don't like Vital Signs that much) and Side 2 of HYF has some really strong stuff too, except the last the two of course. Mission and Turn the Page are really strong, especially Mission, you just can't argue with the way it sounds and that beautiful solo at the end! Lock and Key kicks all sorts of ass as well. I really love The Camera Eye and Witch Hunt too, but they don't compare to the HYF stuff for me. Side 2 of HYF, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briere2112 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Moving Pictures...this isn't even close (though i do love Mission) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarianStar Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Unlike most people, I love "Tai Shan" and "High Water". Add in the stellar "Mission" and HYF blows MP away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILSnwdog Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Wow...that's not even fair. Witch Hunt and Vital Signs make this one a victory by slaughter rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 MP easy: Even though side 2 of MP is slightly weaker than the perfection of side 1 (mostly due to TCE), it still easily beats HYF side 2. First off, the last 2 songs on HYF suck, but even with the excellence of the first 3 songs, it can't match up with MP. That said, HYF is a criminally underrated album...

Rush Cocky Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 MP #2. I sense another blowout on the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Wow. I actually debated this one with myself for a few seconds. Anyway, Moving Pictures doesn't wear out its welcome like Hold Your Fire does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. JD Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 This one is hard. MP 2 is all good but Mission and Turn the page pushed me to HYF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Yeah, both are great sides, but Hold Your Fire wins it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pause Rewind Replay Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I happen to LOVE "High Water", in addition to Lock And Key and Mission... but Tai Shan= loss. Oh, and Witch Hunt and Vital Signs make a pretty good case on their own merits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckiller Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Hold Your Fire 2. Lock and Key is better than anything on Moving Pictures 2. Mission is better than Camera Eye and Vital Signs. Turn the Page is better than at least Vital Signs, and probably Camera Eye. Tai Shan and High Water are kind of weak, but this is offset by Lock and Key's amazingness.

Rendclaw Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Moving Pictures by rear naked choke 2:45 into round #1. Even though Turn the Page (My favorite from Hold Your Fire) is in this, as Pauliewanna said during his drumming narrative for Vital Signs on YT, there isn;t a pimple on Moving Pictures. From the opening of Tom Sawyer to the fadeout of Vital Signs, its a perfect album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIDE-ANGLE WATCHER Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 MP - side 2.....one of the best album sides ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New World Kid Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Lock and Key and Turn the Page just aren't winners to me. Mission, Tai Shan and High Water have merits, but in the end they're just 'average' Rush songs to me. The Camera Eye has always felt redundant to me. I know that's not a popular opinion, but I just feel like The Camera Eye is a 5 minute song that they play twice with different lyrics the second time. That said, Witch Hunt and Vital Signs are enough to pull Moving Picture through to victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
