treeduck Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I've been concentrating on this album the last day or so, wondering why people hate this track and like this track etc. So finally I need to see once and for all what gives. Give me your 1-11 ranking of Test For Echo. Let's see what happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I think T&M is a cool song. I find it running through my head every so often. And I seem to enjoy T4E overall more than most people do--I think I had it 11th or so the last time we did the album-rankings thing--so T&M placing in the middle of the pack really isn't a bad thing.

laughedatbytime Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 1. Driven 2-11. the rest I don't listen to the rest of them enough to rank them appropriately, though if forced to I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it ranked low, in the bottom three, but that doesn't mean I don't like it. I'm one of those freaks who likes all RUSH albums to some degree, I always get something out of their albums. The drum sound and playing is some of Peart's best too so that's a plus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shreddy Lee Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Can they all tie for worst? Just kidding, but really, I don't think I could rank them because the only song I can tolerate, but still not enjoy too much, is Time and Motion. And the RIR versions of Driven and Resist, but I guess that doesn't count since they're not the ones from this album. All the rest to me are just... bleh. Though I do know that Virtuality and Dog Years would have a hell of a battle for the last spot on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I felt like you I'd not have been bothered to open the thread... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animate Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 5 songs off Test 4 Echo: 1. Half the World 2. The Color of Right 3. Resist 4. Driven 5. Limbo These 4 songs are fine, although not particularly memoriable: 6. Time and Motion 7. Test for Echo 8. Totem 9. Carve Away the Stone Then, of course, the "problem children". These 2 really annoy me because the music is pretty rocking and solid for both of them. If they just had run of the mill, average, non-*erm* lyrics, they would both be in the top of the list, because I like the music. I just don't like being slightly mortified when listening to lyrics. 10.11. Dog Years/ Virtuality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyLeeRoth Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I listen to T4E less than any other Rush album except RTB. Its a good album with a nice energy, but with no stand-outs or 'modern classics'. The singes are no better than the rest of the songs generally, IMO, just a bit more accessible or obvious for being singles. I won't bother revisiting T4E for doing a ranking, but I think my impressions go someting like this... 1. Totem 2. Resist 3. Time & Motion 4. Test For Echo 5. Dog Years 6. Virtuality 7. Half The World 8. Limbo 9. The Color Of Right 10. Carve Away The Stone 11. Driven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Not a very solid album for me. I like #1-3, #4-6 are okay, #7-8 suffer quite a bit for their lyrics, and #9-11 I can do without. 1) Driven 2) Time and Motion 3) Test for Echo 4) Limbo 5) Totem 6) Resist 7) Virtuality (if this were an instrumental it'd probably leap to the #3 spot) 8) Dog Years (yeah, not a popular tune but still not the worst of the lot) 9) Carve Away the Stone 10) The Color of Right 11) Half the World Come to think of it, many of these songs have somewhat hokey lyrics.

sitboaf Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 1 Driven 2 Test For Echo 3 Half the World 4 Time and Motion 5 Resist 6 Carve Away the Stone 7 Color of Right 8 Limbo 9 Totem 10 Dog Years 11 Virtuality The very first time I heard Virtuality and Totem, I thought I was listening to outtakes from PoW or RtB. I literally thought, "I think I've heard these 2 songs. Except these versions are worse than I remember." TfE contains an astonishing THREE out of the four Rush songs that I consider "poor" (Didacts and Narpets being the fourth). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
