Lamelight Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I haven't listened to it for a while, maybe should now. One of the first Rush songs I heard few years ago and still like it very much. Also one of the better songs from CP if not the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scars Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 My top Rush song from the 90's and in my top 10 overall Rush songs, absolutely love the song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I've been listening to it a lot lately, especially the live version from R30 in Frankfurt. I love the song. Towards the end when Geddy changes the pace on the vocals and sings, "My Counterpart, My foolish heart...", and then Neil busts 'em back into the chorus, "Polarize me", it is amazing!!! It's an underrated tune and great live one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarizeMe Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Animate's my favorite 90s Rush song and one of my top 10 favorite Rush songs in general if not my top 3. I consider myself one who loves the R30 arrangement of Animate despite the fact it's being played at a slower tempo. Loved it the first time I listened to it and it's still one of my most played Rush songs. Seeing how Marathon was played live in the original tempo on the recent tour, I'd love to see Rush attack this song live in the original tempo. Along with Countdown, Chemistry and Where's My Thing?, this is one song that I wish to see live at least once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReflectedLight Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 not bad, not great, somewhere in between for me. i don't go out of my way to listen to it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Dudad Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 The countdown and drum intro was a great way to open Counterparts. Set the stage for a really strong album (or disc or whatever). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micgtr71 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 When I first heard this one I was scared because they were announcing that they were going to play the new Rush single and all I could think about was the previous album. Halfway through the song, I thought it was the best thing they had done in years. Still do. Always great to hear that song live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyg7133 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Blech. IMO though counterparts and T4E are far and away the only 2 stinkers in the Rush discography. Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 One of my favorites on CP. A kick ass tune that everybody sounds great on and due to how great the production is, it's the song that marked a "comback" of sorts for Rush musically after the keyboard era.
