losingit2k Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) First of all, I like both songs but these are the two that are at the bottem of my list concerning Clockwork Angels. I sometimes can't decide which one I like more on in this case least! I went with BU2B2 sinces its shorter and doesn't have all the members involved! However that said, I do find it to be very moody and enlightening towards the Protagonist in the Story! It an ironic song. Haunting sounding, yet the final take on the lyrics are positive: " Life goes from bad to worse, I still choose to live!"

Snaked Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Wish Them Well is a favorite off the album right now. That might change down the road.. but today I like it a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjtull Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Seeing as how I LOVE WtW and already don't like BU2B2...easy choice. BTW, WtW has already helped me through a situation I have at work with some backbiting people in another department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

presto123 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Wish Them Well is a good song and BU2B2 is nothing more than a transition to me. How can somebody like BU2B2 more than Wish Them Well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unobtrusive Companion Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I like Wish Them Well, so for me it isn't in the bottom two, hence I voted for BU2B2. Even BU2B2 isn't bad though, the whole album is consistently awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix87 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Wish you well may be lackluster, but its a least its a song. BU2B2 is just completely unnecessary. Whatever it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

micgtr71 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Why less? They are both great songs... How about which one do you like more? Still has the same result, but without assuming everyone shares your opinion of which songs are least pleasing on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenJennings Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Why are these two songs so poorly rated?? Wish them well is a great poppy, upbeat sounding track. Love the lyrics, it's a PERFECT pickup and triumph after the somber BU2B2, which is also a fantastic expression of the point of greif and lowness in the album. They play off of eachother very well, despite being great on their own. Both these tracks set the tone perfectly, and both of them have fantastic lyrics. BU2B2 reminds me somehow of Ghost Rider, while Wish Them Well sounds like it could've been a cut off of Roll The Bones. Absolutely love 'em both.

LeaveMyThingAlone Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I don't even consider BU2B2 a song....it's a transition. Don't think it's fair to put it in the same category as the other 11 songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GangsterOnBoats Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 In all honesty, BU2B2 is one of the most interesting little pieces Rush has developed in my opinion. While I might get some flack over it, I really am not a fan of Wish them Well, yet BU2B2 has intrigued me since I heard the first 30-second snippet of it. I'm not one into a constant bombardment of noise (Vapor Trails), and the transitions in this album including BU2B2 are just so...different. I love how Rush is advancing in their sound, although that progression of moving forward is not easily seen in songs like Wish them Well because it is re-treading old territory. And that's all I have to say about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it's fair to put it in the same category as the other 11 songs That's the way I look at it. It's nothing about "approval", but more that we are comparing a 'conceptual transition' to an actual stand-alone song. Not a fair comparison IMO. BU2B2 is a piece that Neil wanted in there as part of the story. If this was not a concept album, that track would probably never have existed. Keep that in mind.

Plus I think they wanted "12" songs to keep in theme of the album, so it was added as a 12th song towards the end of the process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeaveMyThingAlone Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 There have been a lot of comparisons between Snakes and Arrows and CA on here just because they're the 2 most recent. I think Wish them Well is the most Snakes and Arrows sounding song on the album. It definitely has the same sound as a few of the songs on Snakes...but that's where the comparisons end IMO as the rest of the album just blows Snakes out of the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DistantEarlyRushFan Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I don't approve of this poll. The songs are hardly comparable. You can't compare a barely-minute-long segue with a full length song Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
