lifeson90 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Time and motion is classic rush and only Al could do that solo thing, lasts only a few seconds but pure rush gold... Yeah HF's a decent tune with great moments such as the outstanding intro but overall, time and motion is faultless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifeson90 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 The great thing about this band is, if youd asked if either caravan bu2b the title track or the garden were in my top 5 id have to give it some thought theyre that good... In fact every album this band made has tracks on em youd have to consider giving top 5 status... Which is incredible really, taking their output into account... This is the standard these guys set before producing new material... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the standard these guys set before producing new material...I agree with you totally...right on the money! As i've tried to compare the greatness of this collection of songs with the heavyweights, Headlong Flight has a place in that conversation in my mind. It's freaking badass!!! And it's not my favorite song on the album either—that's Clockwork Angels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyta Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I bought the single of HF and played it to death before I got CA and I love it, think I still enjoy Carnies a bit more but the whole album is fantastic! Still love listening to it all the way through. July can't get here soon enough so I can hear them play live :haz: :rush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrospective Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I was really excited about HF when it came out. But honestly, when I saw Rush in CT, I forgot about HF until they played it (in my defense, I was in the middle of a Steven Wilson obsessive-listen since I had just seen him at his Boston show). Top five? Not quite, I think it might land at number six or seven. I don't discount the song itself though, at all. Musically, it kicks ass and sounds great live. Tons of energy and punch.

Tombstone Mountain Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Man this song is EPIC. Top 5? My opinion hasn't changed...it's their best rocker for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 It might crack my top FIFTY, but you know, top five is reserved for songs like Xanadu, La Villa Strangiato, Subdivisions, Tom Sawyer, The Spirit of Radio, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus 2112 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Tom Sawyer, Spirit Of Radio, Subdivisons, Limelight, 2112, Xanada, La Villa Strangiato. It doesn't come close to those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought long and hard about putting HF on the shelf of greatness...its certainly belongs there. It's as great as half the songs on your list. The epic songs, well that's a much tougher comparison IMO. Interesting that Natural Science didn't make your top 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate1647 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Man, I don't know what it is, but almost ALL of Clockwork Angels is in my probably top 20 songs. It is honestly impossible to pick one. Cause then I'll go on a power windows spree, and then jump into some Counterparts, and then I'll feel bad for ignoring the 70's and go on a farewell to kings binge, its all just too much. lol. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post, this sums up my feelings well. With Rush I need to listen to their music in terms of groupings instead of song to song.

sitboaf Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Comes in between #22 and #44 for me. Thank God for the hidden feature that lets you access iTunes' half-star ratings, or I wouldn't be able to nail it down so tightly. :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyfriar Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 It's somewhere in the top 15 for me but it's definitely in the top 5 of Clockwork Angels songs. :PWe're talking about Hemispheres, Natural Science, La Villa Strangiato, The Camera Eye, Jacob's Ladder, Xanadu, 2112...man, I'm not able to pick just 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
