AndroidOnTheRun Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Overrated: 7CoG. It's a dece piece, but why so many fans seem gaga over it is beyond me. It just sounds like generic modern-era Rush to me. Underrated: SO GLAD Wish Them Well is getting some love up in this thread! The jangly "Thank your stars" pre-chorus gets me EVERY TIME.

The jangly "Thank your stars" pre-chorus gets me EVERY TIME. Me too. Top four pick for me. "Thank your stars you're not that way..." Third listen or so, before I'd even listened with the lyric sheet in hand, that part of that song jumped out of my speakers and bit me in the ass. Awesome bit! Catchy!

Slack jaw gaze Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I can't believe The Anarchist is not #1 or #2 for more people. It has most of what I love in a Rush song. I don't think any are overrated in general, but it's hard to imagine Wish Them Well being someone's favorite given all the other top notch stuff.

iluvgeddy05 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Overrated: Wreckers. Underrated: Halo Effect. Why? Mainly, the song is only 3 minutes long, which mirrors the lyrics of being in love with illusion, fading fast. Music that goes with lyrics and vice ver = damn good song. Runner up: wish them well.

Mr. Not Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I don't think The Anarchist or CA are overrated at all. Underrated: Wish Them Well, Headlong Flight Overrated: The Wreckers, BU2B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, if I've failed to understand the rampant 7CoG love, maybe you can help me succeed. Why do you love that track? Probably not gonna change my opinion, but nothing about that track has grabbed me, and I'm wondering (honestly) what about it is apparently connecting with many fans. Defend Seven Cities of Gold to your heart's delight, and I shall merely read and nod and say "noted" without shooting flames back, promise!

KenJennings Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 7 Cities is definitely overrated... I just don't get it. Boring as hell. BU2B2 is EXTREMELY underrated. So is Wish Them Well... but I'm gonna call Halo Effect the most underrated song on the album. Nobody rags on it, but nobody raves about it either- despite the fact that it's a fantastic song.

Jeffrey Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Underrated - The Garden. This is Rush's most beautiful piece of work ever and deserves even higher praise. What a song. No comments on overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty clear why it's on the bottom of nearly everyone's ranked list. Then again, if you find BU2B2 to be very entertaining, and Seven Cities of Gold "boring as hell", then one must assume that you were given the wrong CD altogether.

GeddyRulz Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 "Seven Cities" is overrated? "The Garden" is underrated? Do people understand what the words "overrated" and "underrated" even mean?? How can a song be "overrated" when few people have come forward liking it? How can a song be "underrated" when there are a dozen threads full of people raving about it? WTF?

Pause Rewind Replay Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Overrated: The Garden. I've read all the raves, but for me it's not clicking and shows no signs of going to. The strings drag it into sounding like a dirge (too much cello?) , the lyrics have a higher sap content than a Vermont maple , and the outro is annoyingly interrupted by the repeated "it's the meaure of a life". For me, could have left off this and BU2B2, ended the album with Wish Them Well and had a 10-song, 57 minute absolute killer CD. Underrated: Wish Them Well. Good lyrics, catchy choral refrain and a smoking solo... good clean fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangster of Goats Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Underrated: Wish Them Well. Powerful, upbeat, full of energy. It makes a better closer than the melancholy and somber The Garden, IMO. Overrated: The Garden. It's technically a good song, don't get me wrong, but it just doesn't click with me entirely. I don't do melancholy and somber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangster of Goats Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 QUOTE (Pause Rewind Replay @ Jun 20 2012, 04:47 AM) For me, could have left off this and BU2B2, ended the album with Wish Them Well and had a 10-song, 57 minute absolute killer CD. Eh, I don't mind BU2B2 so much. It makes a nice interlude before Wish Them Well kicks in. I think my issue is that the character goes through all these wild mood swings at the end. On Headlong Flight, he's looking back going "yeah, I'd do it all again! Woo!" but then he's all depressed when BU2B2 starts. But then it's like he snaps out of it suddenly when Wish Them Well starts: "Ah, screw 'em all! I'm outta here! Yeah! Wooo!!" but then he's suddenly pensive and gloomy again in The Garden.
