EmotionDetector Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 QUOTE (metaldad @ Apr 4 2012, 12:48 PM) QUOTE (anchorman @ Apr 4 2012, 11:24 AM) I know many people love HYF but to me, it is their worst CD. There are so many weak songs on it. There was no edge to them and the band sounded completely lost as to their identity. I agree 100% only HYF is in my bottom 3 , the worst being RTB. Ah-ha...so you still rank S&A higher than something. Man...you must really HATE RTB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenken Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Im actually a fan of HYF, but its mostly because Im a bassist and some of his best work is on that album, but I definitely get why some would hate it. It's total cheeseball 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

presto123 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I don't hate HYF but I remember being let down slightly on first listen after the brilliance that was Power Windows. Still like it better than SnA:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah I put those 2 in the same group as far as his refined clean style of playing, but noone was talking about PoW so I didnt mention it.

Basically 20 years apart though. Plus HYF was prior to the events that Neil suffered through, so I would guess he's just a totally different person now.

Godeater2112 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Man I remember how infatuated I was with the SPINDRIFT teaser, must have listened to it 500 times.... We might be a long away from a teaser clip for Headlong Flight. Judging from the looks of their beta site for Clockwork Angels, not very much new is fleshed out yet. They have some new site backgrounds that still include the blimp concept but are different... they updated Alex's gear to include "Gibson Les Paul Black Prototypewith Floyd Rose Tremolo", they have the tour section up but so far it is blank, no new news, media or announcements yet at all... So either they are just STARTING to piece the new Rush.com together, or they will do one massive update all in one fell swoop. I'll try to keep an eye on it.

Don't get me wrong...unlike many people here who love to bash Neil, I'm not one of them. I just found it interesting when you listen to HYF, and then listen to VT / S&A. Huge difference...

I really just love Neil's lyrics on HYF...maybe some of his best. Very inspirational and optimistic! Love 'em. Yeah there was some very positive stuff on there. He's had that here and there. He hasn't been all negative. Although I dont like how negative their lyrics are now and how he keeps harping on religion, at the same time I think about all he's written about. At this point maybe it's hard for him to even find inspiration to write about anything else. Maybe he doesnt care about politics, maybe he doesnt want to write about being in love again or having a baby, that's his choice, so now I pretty much just listen to the music and the melodies and I dont pay too much attention to the lyrics anymore. As soon as I heard the lyrics in BU2B I just rolled my eyes then just continued to like the song for what it was, just a strong hard rocking song, something S&A seriously lacked.

I felt the exact same with the lyrics at first...but you're exactly right. BU2B kicks so much ass that it makes up for it (for me anyways). I love it even more than Caravan, and I hope that the hard-rock edge from that song continues throughout the rest of CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this is the 2nd album in a row where he refers to religion as just a marketplace where people are just being sold ideas he doesnt think they should be buying. It's really silly, but whatever, pound my ears with a hard rocking song and Ill get over the lyrics pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
