Mika Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Just found it a few months ago, and the more I listen to it, the more I love it! Some really good tunes on here! Wish some of the songs would be played live! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilb1972 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I too really like his solo album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Love it. Way better than T4E imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenken Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 It has some strong melodies and interesting arrangements. Geddy said in a record store interview he REALLY enjoyed making that, and you can hear it. There's a few duds on it but it's a pretty strong album. I remember him saying something like it was enjoyable for him to be the head king of everything, something like that, making all the decisions instead of arguing with 2 other guys about certain things. Must have been fun for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertk Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Love this album! It seems to have exploded in the last few days out of nowhere! I'm hoping (can't believe I'm saying this) that after a 40th anniversary tour, Rush will take a break and Ged will have time to give us a new album! (A guy can dream right?) I want to hear more from Ben Mink too! Edited January 18, 2012 by Gilbertk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unattractive Truth Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Very good album. There's some nice stuff on there. I like The Present Tense, Runaway Train, and Grace to Grace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbomb106 Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I like MFH, but it has always struck me as more a songwriter's album and less a bassist's album; he has complex arrangements, but never really jams - at least not a lot. I'm sure it was very satisfying for him to make, but I think it would be more satisfying for me if he rocked out a bit more. Again, though, I really like it, but wish he'd been more aggressive with his bass playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBluePhoenix Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 It really is quite good. It's very interesting to me to hear the kind of songs that Geddy writes without Alex and Neal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthshine Emmeline Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Took me a while to warm up to it but now I love it to bits. Working at Perfekt is a favourite for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbirdsong Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 My Favorite Headache is like a heavy holiday meal. There's a lot to chew on and you are well satisfied in the end. I love the earthiness of it. Geddy gives us that amazing bass lick at the beginning and then shows us what a great songwriter he is. I wonder what would have happened if he had embraced a huge marketing campaign and toured for the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
