presto123 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 HF getting lots of love. The people that aren't crazy about it must be really vocal because the reality is most people prefer it over the other two which are great in their own right IMO.

1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Can't decide if I like "Caravan" or "HF" better. I really like the former's off-kilter approach and killer jam section, and the new song is high-energy heaviness. "BU2B" ranks third no matter what, and I do like it.

That One Guy Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I figured BU2B wouldn't be #1. Caravan was an excellent taste of the album that started two years ago. I don't think this album will be disappointing too many people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxster Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 QUOTE (theredtamasrule @ Apr 25 2012, 06:00 PM)Even though Caravan is awesome on all levels I'm wild about HF simply because Neil is killing it (like never before IMO) on this tune. That old man is pounding the drums like they've personally insulted him. Top notch performance by Mr. Magoo. Â You sir are a very preceptive gent. I was just saying to my wife not a half hour ago as I played amazon's version.. and I says to her to the affects of, "I don't think Neil has every played harder on a Rush song." He just kills those muther truckin drums. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe my ears when hearing that gorgeous masterpiece even after listening to it about 400 time by now. Had to go with Caravan, could be my all time favorite Rush tune, no lie. It rocks, it's progressive, has a sick jam and solo, great melodies, keyboards, EVERYTHING I could ever want in one Rush song. I love Caravan too and am afraid the re-record will not be as good. Why are you afraid of that? Pretty sure they didnt rewrite the song, and I seriously doubt it will sound much different than the original version. jeez, is it possible that Geddy listened to the chorus and came up with a vocal melody??

1 of the 7 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Can't decide whether Headlong Flight or Caravan is my favorite. BU2B is not far behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenJennings Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 BU2B is the best song so far. It's the most rhythmic, hard driving, and cohesive IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I can't quite pinpoint why it's may favorite. I just can't get enough of it... BU2B is the most melodic of the three...and has keyboards...and just an overall great dynamic to it, for starters. The "....the pain and joy that we receive" part is just ear candy to me. I love it. It's both heavy and still has a lightness to it too, if you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeson90 Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) bu2b has elements the other two just dont have.... it oozes class and subtlety, particularly in keyboards but also in Al & Ged's guitars and it has that element of surreality essential in truly great rush music caravans ok and HF not a bad effort but the quality of bu2b matches anything on any rush album i'm hoping just for two or three more tracks of this quality on CA... just two or three will do, 4 or 5 would be absolutely excellent.

Still, it will be the first Rush album since their first one on which I might regularly skip the first song. You don't like Caravan I take it. Wow. Sorry for posting late ... been away for two days... I initially liked its power, but it quickly became the Rush song that bored me most. Apart form a fairly decent solo, there's nothing much happening in that song. And that chorus - nope ... for me personally, it's the worst Rush "classic" since Bravado. Far Cry or OLV, in comparison, are towering sky high above it. Headlong Flight, in comparison ... WOW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shreddy Lee Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 1) Caravan 2) Headlong Flight 3) BU2BÂ And I rank them that way while loving BU2B. With these songs it's more like great, greater and greatest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYM86 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 For me, Caravan is head and shoulders above the other two. Just a much more complete song IMO - lots of variations, stronger melodies, and the most illustrative lyrics of the three.  I'll put Headlong Flight above BU2B in a photo finish. That's because I was mildly disappointed with the lack of any real solos in the latter. All three songs are very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
