Rushman14 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 John Hein from the Sirius radio show "GEEKTIME" just said he was currently geeking out on the new Rush tune HF, and that it was the best Rush he has heard in ages. Pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew28 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Pardon me if I missed this amid the 50 or so pages in this string, but do you think that the spoken word section in the middle that talks about "....I'd do it all over again..." are Freddy Grubers? In the press release, Neil attributes that line to Freddy (who said it when he was reminiscing among friends and former students). It would be cool if that gathering of folks had been recorded/documented and Neil added it to the song to honor Freddy. Just a thought. I'm sure some here will disprove it some how ("I isolated the spoken word part and ran it through a filter, then played it in reverse, increased it to 353 mhz and then re-reversed and I can say with 98.0889% certainty that the voice is none other than Terry Brown.")

Xanadoood Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) I find the Chorus ... The big steel wheel part..to be a bit out of place. I think the riff Alex lays down to be really cool, and geddy sounds great... The verses fit nicely together , but that chorus does stick out as being a tad clumsy... Overall I like it and it's cool hearing them Rock out this much Edited April 20, 2012 by Xanadoood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall I like it and it's cool hearing them Rock out this much Are you talking about how the song goes from a harder edge to something more kind of rock n roll/almost S&A sounding? If so then yeah I agree. It doesn't flow well to me. They've mixed very different parts in the past, but they usually had the same sort of feel so they flow well. Like Force Ten, has the uptempo verses, then goes to a quiet chorus, but that works much better to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas7 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I agree, at around 2:10 Alex starts to play what I thought was going to be a 12 bar blues. There's also a drum break that sounds like it's been sampled from a live gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Principled Man Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 The "big steel wheel" section sounds good to me, but I found those verses at the end to be redundant. Unnecessary. Made the song too long...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnoble Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Seems like almost everything "heavy" they've recorded starting with Test For Echo has sounded clunky and/or a glued together mish-mosh of parts that don't always flow well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas7 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 As an old sound engineer once commented on our music.You need to have light and shade otherwise the song becomes wearing. The best Rush songs have that light and shade, Headlong Flight goes on a bit too long and becomes wearing. Alex's solo should have appeared a lot earlier , as an experienced musician I would have returned to 'spookiness' of the beginning and built the song up again. This only an opinion of an aging Rush fan so don't have a go if you don't agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
