Digitallware Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I love "The Wreckers" it feels so right and if Geddy plays it live I'll definitely get emotional because I can FEEL the emotion in the lyrics: All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary Of the miracle to get to the truth All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary Everything in life you thought you knew... Anyone else have a favorite part of this song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUP1771 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Yup, the entire song itself. I haven't heard a song this melodic, catchy, etc. in a long time. Is it perfect? Nope because anything can be improved, but with that said it's arrangement is pretty damn close, especially for Rush's modern sound. The chorus makes me smile every time as does the middle section.

Shreddy Lee Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I actually like the verses, the "breakers roar" parts even better than the choruses. They're my favorite part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenken Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Dont love the kind of typical sounding intro I feel like ive heard many other bands do before, or the verses much, but really like the melodic chorus and the middle section. What Im realizing with these songs is all of them except Wish Them Well has parts in them I like and parts that I dont like, except BU2B which I like straight through.

J2112YYZ Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I love the whole song. Alex's part right before the first verse is really good but that chorus, my gods that effing chorus is great. It's sung so well and the lyrics are very powerful in it. After listening to the album for the first time this was the song I replayed again right away. I just had to hear that chorus again to make sure that when I heard it the first time that I really experienced the greatness I thought I did. The song just gets better with each listen. This song and the title track are my two favorite songs on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReflectedLight Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 i'm not a fan of this song even though it has a good part or two, basically because of the chorus which i'm not into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

av450 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I hate the opening riff. I find it takes away from the song and just doesn't fit in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, although I wouldn't go so far as to say I hate it, but I think it's probably the weakest part and I don't think it fits in that well either.

lifeson90 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) yeah but sometimes dull and nothing special is desired effect, the intro does indeed sound like it could have opened countless other songs but i'm sure the band aware of that too... i like the ordinariness Rush have planted into their music at times it's a sign of maturity and accentuates the different and special parts Edited June 6, 2012 by lifeson90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2112 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I think Wreckers is solid, but there are at least 4 songs on the album that are superior IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really awkward when they go back into it out of the chorus. Really doesnt flow well so it seems like they could have just gone straight into the verses instead. Feels like one of those bridge parts that sometimes are needed to connect 2 very different parts, I just dont think its needed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
