vinciedaltrey Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 The Analog Kid-- Subdivisions is a close second.
Narps Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Subdivisions. I know it's a common choice, but it was kind of a "game changer" like Tom Sawyer was.
Lieutenant Dan Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) The logical answer follows the majority; "Subdivisions" is freaking brilliant. However, I voted for "New World Man" and here is why. —It's the song that I heard on the radio that introduced me to what would be my favorite band when I was in high school. —It's an incredibly well-put together shot-glass of what Rush is about. Great lyrics, the drumming is fantastic (but restrained JUST enough on this song) and the bass line is amazing. When I first heard this song, it told me the following in three minutes: that guy plays the HELL out of that bass, the drummer sounds like a beast, the guitarist is ultra-tasty, and the lyrics are very intelligent. As a radio single, I don't believe Rush could have done any better. It sure worked for me. Edited October 17, 2013 by Lieutenant Dan
Segue Myles Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Losing It. It is the song that always leaves my jaw on the floor when I play Signals. Saying that, im still getting to grips with this album, it keeps on getting better! 2
VinMan Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 "Subdivisions". Such beautiful and strikingly true lyrics. The lyrics paint the most accurate description of the life of an outcast teenager like me, who just wants to break free from his tedious, monotonous life and chase after bigger, grandiose things. Like "Middletown Dreams", this song is my anthem. Every time I listen to it I fight back the tears as I am immersed in the quintessential truths of the scenario being described. Words cannot fully express my love and passion for this musical masterpiece! 5

As regards to my vote, having just gotten the album last night and listening through it multiple times today, I voted for The Analog Kid. I mean, DAT LICK! Subdivisions and New World Man are both close seconds of course, but honestly, I love just about everything here. I think I need a bit more time to get into digital man and maybe The Weapon and Losing It, but I acknowledge all of those as sweetly awesome (the latter two spine chilling though they aren't in my head yet). I don't see why countdown and chemistry get so few votes. Both of those, lyrically at the very least are just awesome. Countdown in particular is a partial saving grace for an album that doesn't exactly need one as it's the only song that 'paints a pretty landscape,' closer to their old story-telling ways, rather than metaphorically or directly conveying some kind of message OR telling one unusual man/kid's story/state.
chasekratzer Posted December 23, 2013 Posted December 23, 2013 As I would always say, there are so many good rush songs, its hard to choose a favorite. When I voted, I think I went with either new world man, or subdivisions. I like both of those songs, along with the analog kid. This is one of my fav rush albums.
sabresman31 Posted May 4, 2014 Posted May 4, 2014 Subdivisions. It was instrumental in my journey from a casual Rush listener to a huge fan!
Citizen of the World Posted June 26, 2014 Posted June 26, 2014 My favourite is a scary song, even the title scares me. It's called The Weapon. Just gotta find my 3D glasses. 1
Lorraine Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Here's another place where I voted and didn't post. I probably voted for Subdivisions.
Lorraine Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Here's another place where I voted and didn't post. I probably voted for Subdivisions. I changed my vote to The Weapon. I love Subdivisions, but to me it doesn't even come close to TW. 1
len(songs) Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) LOSING IT!!! Edited July 5, 2014 by len(songs)
EagleMoon Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 I'm not sure what I originally voted. I think on first listen it would definitely have to be Subdivisions. I've heard it so many times over the years it's gotten a little bit old but it's still a great song.
Brucey Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 I'll go with the popular one, Subdivisions. Still this, though every song on the album is good. 2
g under p Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 I love Subdivisions but for me it has to be The Weapon. 1
KennyLee Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Had to go Losing It. Sorry Digital Man, it was close! 1
YYZumbi Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 My vote go to Digital Man.. because I have been listening to it a lot lately on many live albums, and I like it a lot!
Tuesday's Gone Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Subdivisions but Losing It is awesome too !
Segue Myles Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Signals has recently joined the higher ranks of my favourite Rush albums. Partly because it kicks ass. Largely because of Losing It.
