mazyyz Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Completely disagree. To me it is one of the better songs. Very powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 If by skippable you mean one of the best songs on the album and a truly great track, then yes, The Wreckers is "skippable." The Wreckers should have easily been the first single - catchy, accessible - a great, great latter day Rush track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

priest_of_syrinx Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 QUOTE (Hatchetaxe&saw @ Jul 1 2012, 03:10 AM) 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. I'm not the only one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unattractive Truth Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I like The Wreckers just fine. I only skip BU2B2. I have even developed a taste for Wish Them Well, which I didn't like that much at first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In time, I might start to skip Halo Effect, but for now I don't - it's a very good song, just not as good as everything else on the album outside of BU2B2.

Unattractive Truth Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I think Halo Effect fits very nicely into the overall environment after the 1-2-3 punch of Clockwork Angels, The Anarchist, and Carnies. That's a pretty awesome 3 song run right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeaveMyThingAlone Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Really like Halo Effect. Very catchy and nice 3 minute song, and a nice break for the chaos of the first 5 that totally rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdFireYYZ Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 QUOTE (Your_Lion @ Jul 1 2012, 06:49 AM) I never skip tracks anyway. I just put on an album and listen to it. Me too. The Wreckers is one of my favorites from the new album and I like Halo Effect as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReflectedLight Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) yes i hit the skip button for the wreckers. i can't believe people are saying this song should be another single. it's boring, repetitive, and annoying all at once.

An Enemy Without Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I suppose it is physically possible to skip it, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todem Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 One of my top 3 tunes on CA. An amazing chorus. A visual feast of a song. Quite frankly I rank this chorus a top 10 chorus for Rush. All Time. It's that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlyJeff Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 So far I'm not skipping anything. In fact I probably won't ever skip songs when I play the album in order (this holds true for most albums for me). However this is one of the songs that probably won't make it into my "4 star" shuffle, along with Halo Effect, Carnies, WtW, and BU2B. The Garden may not make it in that list either. Note that this playlist include music by all artists on my iPod and if I was including based on quality of song alone Carnies, The Garden, and The Wreckers would probably make it in, but I grade Rush on a stricter scale to prevent them from dominating the playlist . It doesn't make a lot of sense to create a playlist with a bunch of different artists and have every third song be Rush. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaked Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 The only song I occasionally skip is BU2B. I've heard it hundreds of times and saw it live 7 times on the TM tour. Everything else is fresh and new.. I'm not skipping Caravan simply because I really like the new mix and not skipping anything else because, well.. it's new and I'm still learning it all.

trenken Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Dont agree. Although it's not very original or all that different from what bands like Foo Fighters are doing, to me it's one of the few songs with a catchy chorus melody, and Im a sucker for those so Im fine with it. I dont skip it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Mountain Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 When I hear the beginning of the song it takes me somewhere....a pirate raid ain't that place,however, I enjoy the song. Much like moonshine...it's a preference thing. I look at it from a musical standpoint, as a musician who can play a ton of the rush catalog, the transition from a sprightly sounding intro....to getting drilled by pirates type dark toned groove just sounds awkward and forced to me. That being said...they have other songs that have fit the same bill so to speak. They grew on me over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
