LeaveMyThingAlone Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (jnoble @ Jul 14 2012, 06:27 PM) the chorus on this song, both the words themselves and the way Geddy sings them and the repetition, is really annoying I agree. Was just thinking that today. Annoying is a good word. Can't say that very often about a Rush song...The Wrecker's chorus stays in my head, but not in a good way IMO Rush being catchy or trying to write hooks never works.

Bastille Night Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I took a two week hiatus on CA, and am just listening to it again tonight. The Wreckers holds up for me, and I think it will hold up for a long time. Sorry that it doesn't work for you dude! More and more I'm feeling sorry for the cynical folk that can't appreciate this material! Call me a sap, but I'm loving this shit!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJH Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Not my favorite,on the cd...but its growing on me.chorus sounds like an 80's rock ballad...i wish they would have let Alex go off on the end,and let us all hear that!! maybe if they do it live,he will play an extended solo at the end kinda like he did with "mission" years back.

ReflectedLight Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 i'm fine with slower songs but the wreckers has one sappy sounding chorus. i guess there's not much you can do with some of the lyrics neil hands geddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
They Bow Defeated Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I love The Wreckers, but have to admit I'm not a big fan of the wary/contrary thing. And I think chorus could have been more effective if they reworked it to remove the "All I know is that" parts. Maybe even if Geddy paused here and just didn't sing the "All I know" parts. sometimes you have to be wary Of a miracle too good to be true sometimes the truth is contrary Everything in life you thought you knew sometimes you have to be wary 'Cause sometimes the target is you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombstone Mountain Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Initially, The wreckers was hard to get into because of the opening guitars...just didn't seem to click with the serious nature of the song. Now I just love the song for what it is and enjoying it more with every listen. The strings are such an acheivment. There are many dimensions of greatness from this effort. It will fascinate us for a long time. Nope, don't skip it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThinkingBig Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 QUOTE (NYM86 @ Jun 30 2012, 11:59 PM) 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). BU2B2 is not pointless with respect to the character arc NP is creating. He moves the character from one belief system to a place of dismay and confusion, then finally to forgiveness (Wish Them Well) and introspection and content with both chaos and order (The Garden). I don't know why he never wrote fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost In Xanadu Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) After what - a month, I still love The Wreckers. Listening to it the other night, I think Geddy's voice sounds very little like Geddy in this track though. Maybe it's the overdub or effects or something, but it doesn't sound as much like "Geddy" as other tracks do... if this makes any sense.

I won't deny that it serves a purpose for the story, but the thing is, I barely, if at all, think about the story when I listen to the album. That's why BU2B doesn't do much for me.

I don't know why he never wrote fiction. He has tried. He wasn't happy with the results. So he gave up on it except for collaborating with Kevin Anderson.
