Most people arent impressed by busy playing unless they're musicians. The average listener likes songs that sound good to them and great melodies are what does that. That was my complain about this song. The vocals are so forgettable. Not really. This post, however, is entirely forgettable. You're right, noone likes good melodies these days. You could say the same about The Mars Volta and even Radiohead...I cant understand a damn word they are saying half the time, but the music is interesting. That's really all that matters for me..this isn't Adele we are talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Analog_Bro Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I must say - Rush are always best when they add complexity to the music I loved Snakes and Arrows, but THIS is the guys at their best IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trenken Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 QUOTE (CrossedSignals @ Apr 18 2012, 01:18 PM) I get the impression that the vocal part was worked into the music after the fact, because the two don't mesh incredibly well, but I could be wrong. Thats usually how songs are written though. You have to write the vocals later. You cant write vocals first, then the music. Doesnt work too well that day. The issue is anyone who writes songs here knows it really does take serious effort to write an entire song, then fit some vocals perfect over it. Anyones capable of doing this really well, it just depends on how much time you put into it. If its rushed then you get something that sounds awkward and forgettable which is what Im hearing here. Good music, shit vocal melodies. They could be MUCH better. The dude from Mars Volta is fantastic at writing really great vocal melodies over odd music, but he's said it takes him a long time. Listen to this music, its strange, but the vocals are completely awesome. Takes time to come up with this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and no one likes to turn around and see someone pissing in the house plants at a great party. What was my point? The bathroom is to your left.

You dont live in a world where everyone has to like the same shit. Rush fans are hilariously biased and delusional. Except for you, of course? The lone voice of reason and sanity in a wilderness of bias and delusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
