driventotheedge Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 QUOTE (Alchemical @ Apr 24 2012, 04:46 PM) A little bit. Oddly enough, I can still listen to Caravan and BU2B without growing bored. I got a bit bored with BU2B but have not with Caravan or HF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Don't listen to it 20 times a day for starters. I'd burn out on anything if a short time after its release I'd listened to it a hundred (or more) times. I'm averaging maybe once a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyLeefan2112 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 How are people already sick of this song? I, personally, think its amazing, but I know a lot of people on this forum aren't as enthusiastic as I about new Rush music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing wise it does. In many ways it surpasses it! Old schooler just don't want to admit that after 30 sum years can still produce something that rivals its older material.

N.O.RUSH Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 After multiple listens, since the day it was released on rolling stone, i can honestly say that I'm totally confused by this song. Sometimes i like it, and sometimes i don't care for it. I think I'm probably trying to like it too much. I really can't put my finger on why I'm not totally getting it. I think the song feels a little forced vocally. Geddy needs to quit trying so hard and just use what he has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just don't want to admit that can produce something that rivals the classics 30+ years down the road! But they have, 3 times already! "Far Cry", "Caravan" and now "Headlong Flight" are instant classics in my book. So don't mind them, they're just stuck in the past! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

druid13 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Ahem...I can say the drum on HF are more difficult than Freewill...and its not close really. Â I am not a bass player but those parts sound more difficult as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil however is getting better and better as time passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeson90 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 well frequency of play isnt what made me slightly tired of the track... it just isnt a good enough tune. as a patchwork jam session it works quite well, Alex and Ged energetically doing their thing sounding like only they can sound like, but the general tune just doesnt flow outa the same place bu2b or caravan came from imo i played bu2b and caravan to death, still do actually, and still not tired of em.... probably in the same way all the other great rush material never tired me...... i can play spirit of radio and get the same groove from it i did like 30 years ago i kinda got bored with headlong flight after half a dozen plays no, the rate of play had nothing to do with it in my case, and i suspect the same with most fans who feel the same it aint the end of the world tho we aint haters we still worship the guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddysMullet Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 QUOTE (treeduck @ Apr 24 2012, 09:48 PM) No, because I haven't listened to it 17,000 times in a few days. I listen to other shit too... This. I've been playing it sparingly and savouring each listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silas Lang Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I've listened to it about 10 times now so definitely not. It's pretty much lodged in my memory now and runs through my head fairly often. And like most of their stuff since the mid 70s it's definitely not a jam song but pretty well structured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deslock Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I'm at ~180 listens (150 of the streamed version and 30 of the Amazon MP3). Not tired of it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 It's been sounding great to date but after one week, it's gone up to the next level. I this song!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112rush Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Listened to it too much over a short period of time, i think! still an awesome song, think i'll just try and wait until i get the album in my dirty little hands before listening again.
