micgtr71 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 QUOTE (Xanadude69 @ Dec 6 2010, 11:00 AM) If they are going to play any song from Presto it needs to be Superconductor. I think I am the only Rush fan who likes that song. Its actually the only song I like from that album. No, please no more Superconductor ever. I would not mind hearing War Paint again.

Tarkus406 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 QUOTE (Jomboni @ Dec 6 2010, 07:56 AM) No! Show Don't Tell, The Pass, or Presto, everything else from this album can take a hike. YOU can take a hike! Give me War Paint! Or even better...Scars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbirdsong Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I would really like to see Alex play the solo from Chain Lightning. It is one of my favorite moments on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barchetta90480 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I love Anagram. I think it's underrated. I'd even love to hear it live. ... Seriously ... [it's out now ... So glad I did that ...] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd LOVE to hear Scars live again. Go look at some YouTube versions of that one live - it kills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReflectedLight Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 QUOTE (Todem @ Dec 6 2010, 02:26 PM) Available Light. The best song on this otherwise mediocre Rush album. We have heard Show Don't Tell and The Pass and now Presto which are all excellent songs. War Paint? Meh. Scars? Meh. Available Light is a brilliant song. Vocally inspiring, lyrically brilliant. The Piano sounds so good and organic. And Alex's crying solo is just gorgeous. It is by far one of the most underrated and under appreciated songs in the bands long and storied catalog. available light is the only song i like off presto.

Show Don't Tell and The Pass are killer tracks and I actually really like Chain Lightning a bunch (just has a cool vibe to it). It is one of there weakest albums for sure. And for the first time in my Rush listening history was a major letdown after the brilliant run of Hemispheres - Hold Your Fire. It felt like they had writers block and half realized a bunch of these songs. I mean it's Rush so the standard is just brutally high. And after that brilliant run of their very best work ever we were bound for a letdown. Then of course many others swear by Presto. Which is cool. I love the fact many different Rush fans have certain albums that just mean so much to them. Presto for me was just so.....sterile.

Seriously ... [it's out now ... So glad I did that ...] Feel no shame, you are not alone. Anagram has always been a guilty pleasure for me. Love Geddy's vocals on this one. It always amazes me when I see people gush over CL, Superconductor and Available Light. To me, those songs really should have been recorded for HYF. They would have been right at home on the worst Rush album ever. Just my opinion folks. No need for the HYF apologists to respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush! Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 War Paint is ok but it's forgettable for me. I like the first three tracks and Scars off Presto...the rest is alright, just not very memorable...in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Available Light is the only song that I truly DISLIKE from Presto. I've listened to it maybe five times all the way through. It's the only song where Geddy has a vocal part that makes my skin crawl...."Give me Available Light". Normally, I enjoy Geddy's vocals and I have no problem with the screaming vocals of the early years. I'm just glad that I didn't have a screwdriver handy when I used to try and listen to it.

TheBluePhoenix Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I feel that anything from Presto and Roll the Bones sounds a lot better live because those two albums sound so bad. There are no balls to them at all. Everything sounds so weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
