NYM86 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) It's not bad per se, but I'm certainly not big on it musically or lyrically. But I'm still at a point where I'm not skipping anything (except the utterly pointless BU2B2). Edited July 1, 2012 by NYM86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priest of Syrinx Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I think it's one of the better tracks on CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeaveMyThingAlone Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I would say The Wreckers, Seven Cities of Gold, and Wish them Well are the 3 most skippable for me That being said, the skippables on this album are still light years better than the skippables on their last 3 albums.

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Christ no, nothing wrong with catchy, hook-laden songs in my book. I love it. But, for balance and atonal kudos I play Schoenberg and Bartok for 3.12 hours after every listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclonus X-1 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 The Wreckers isn't one of my favorite songs on the album, but I do enjoy it and haven't ever skipped it. BU2B2 is really the only track I view as skippable. I like it lyrically and appreciate the role it plays in the story, and I don't dislike the idea of a low-key transitional piece connecting Headlong Flight and Wish Them Well; but I don't like how the band executed it. It's so short, though, that hitting skip is hardly worth the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I never skip tracks anyway. I just put on an album and listen to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
different strings Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 You guys are nuts but I suppose that everyone is different. The Wreckers is my favourite track besides HEADLONG FLIGHT and THE GARDEN. I love the catchy melodies and Geddy's vocals are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spock Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Wow, it's one of my favorites - musically and lyrically. Kinda odd starting off a depressing topic with major chords, but I can't find any other fault. I love the line "sometimes the target is you". Wish the solo wouldn't have faded so fast, but I think that adds some emotional impact - almost like the guitar drowns at the end... It's in my top 3 favs for CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyRulz Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 QUOTE (Steevo @ Jul 1 2012, 04:13 AM) QUOTE (Priest of Syrinx @ Jul 1 2012, 05:01 PM) I think it's one of the better tracks on CA. Aye, sure is Me, too. "The Wreckers" is in my top four. Repetitive? Simple? Maybe so... but on a Rush album where catchy choruses and good vocal melodies have finally made a strong return, "The Wreckers" is one of the strongest in terms of catchy choruses and good vocal melodies! Most skippable? "Halo Effect." Snoozers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godeater2112 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 First off OP, I commend you on finding a way to discuss the track as "most skippable" instead of calling it "dog shit" or some other descriptors that so many others would have used. That's a constructive way to put it. And yes I agree with you. To me The Wreckers, despite being a decent track, is the most "skippable" on the album for me at least.

NYM86 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I like the major chord thing. Very "How It Is" esque...have always found that kind of contrast between dark lyrics/bright music interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
