presto123 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Anybody Agree? I've listened to a lot of records and nothing gives me the chills like The Garden. Kudos to Rush for giving us this amazing track and album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Territorial_Game Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 It's gotta be between that and The Anarchist. Just can't pick one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USB Connector Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 I would debate it between Headlong Flight and The Garden, but that's just me. HF has a special significance to me so it makes the song that much more awesome when I hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kudos to Rush for giving us this amazing track and album. I agree. The Garden, imho, is quite simply the greatest song that Rush has ever written. It is certainly my favourite of the year. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Agreed. And Clockwork Angels and The Anarchist duo is the best back to back duo Rush has done in 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Farrah Fowler Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I can't decide. It's certainly my favorite new album by anyone. Been a long time since I've enjoyed a whole new release this much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddysMullet Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 In my opinion, The Garden is a pretty good song, but there are many Rush songs that are better...on Clockwork Angels alone! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaldad Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 It's not even the Best song on CA imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystic Slipperman Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Hard to pick a favorite on this record.. The Garden is WAAAY up there, but so are The Wreckers, Headlong Flight, and the title track... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Have to say that BU2B, The Wreckers, Headlong Flight and The Garden are all very good, no clear winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kris2112 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 If you're getting "the chills" listening to The Garden; I suggest you get a space heater. Pretty much any other song on CA sounds better. Halo Effect is delightful. Clockwork Angels is epic. Any Rand is my hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 It's not the best song on the album (that goes to the title track), but it's the most important song on the album in terms of Rush and their legacy - it makes a powerful statement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwork Angels is epic. Any Rand is my hero. What? Halo Effect? That has always been my least fav on CA. Sounds like a SnA leftover. There are plenty of great tracks on CA for sure but to me nothing beats The Garden from the guitar solo to the end for goosebumps. Pure atmosphere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure atmosphere.Whenever I hear the guitar solo in The Garden, my mind's eye pictures a bird in flight - soaring and majestic. I think it is one of Alex's finest pieces of work. Only La Villa (A Lerxst in Wonderland) evokes as strong an emotion in me. La Villa is much grander and epic, imo, and the guitar work on all La Villa remains a personal favourite. A different emotion than The Garden though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show Don't Tell Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 "The Garden" is my favourite on CA. It's just so epic, and overall, a tasteful composition. Anyone who has seen it will know just how epic it sounds live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 "The Garden" is my favourite on CA. It's just so epic, and overall, a tasteful composition. Anyone who has seen it will know just how epic it sounds live. I saw it live and thought it came off completely lame. There was no life to it and it put the crowd to sleep, you couldn't even hear anyone singing along with it. Since it such a soft and quiet song you should be able to but it got nothing at my show. There was this power the studio version has that was missing in the live version. The song just didn't sound complete to me at my show, there was definitely something missing with it live. Overall it's a good song but far from the best on the album. The first five songs, Seven Cities, Wreckers and Headlong all crush The Garden. I get why people love The Garden but I just don't get the same feeling from the song. I was hoping hearing it live would wake me up to the power so many claim this song possesses, but unfortunately it did not. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
