erm2020 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Hi, all - I'm a long time Rush fan and recently wrote about the album Fly By Night for my blog. You can find it here. My blog is about a project I'm undertaking in which I listened to all the albums in my collection and now am counting down my top 100. Fly By Night is only #92, but others will appear on the list, I'm sure! I'm so happy I found this site! I got into Rush in 1981 by listening to my older sister's copy of Exit ... Stage Left. I like many different genres of rock and pop, but Rush always remains near the top! erm2020 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient Ways Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Too much nerd talk before you actually start talking about the album. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I studied Journalism. That article would have failed completely. But bravo you had fun! Shame I didn't reading it...sorry too long winded, keep the humour next time erm2020, but get to the point sooner! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyLee Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I skipped the "nerd" stuff and went right to the album stuff. From there it was a pretty good read but I did have to skip a lot. I did NOT take a journalism class and hardly read at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has potential if that is what he is doing, but just needs to refine his own personal style a little... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaghetti Lee Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 That blog sucked so hard that it literally made me want to sh*t on my computer. Rivendell is cool. So is the "philosophical bullsh*t" of Anthem. Phruck your stereotypical apologies for Geddy's voice of that era as well as Rush's subject matter...and your absolutely lame overused trite unoriginal descriptions. I don't even think msnbc would hire you...no matter how stereotypically left-wing your blogging style. And, remember...those are the same doo-chez that hired Al Sharpton. "Resist we much"... Immense failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I thought it was a good review....too much nerd talk for my taste. And damn me if i didn't laugh at loud at Ged sounding like a teen girl in a slasher film.........that shit was funny. Oh and Spaghetti Lee should lighten up.

Seriously dude...this blog is by another fan and he had fun writing it! Yes it's fair, because you can NOT "equally compare" Fly By Night and Pissto...one is great and one has two or three OK songs. You just simply cannot compare "In the End" to "Available Sh*t" as simply contemplating doing so causes a hungry child in a 3rd world country somewhere to be attacked by a rabid polar bear who is upset over global warming.

C'mon. No need to be so harsh. You can give a critique without attacking. I think he should have wrote 2 posts. One about his feelings involving nerd culture and one about fly by night. If one of his albums is a guns n roses album is he going to write 500 words on drug addiction and being an asshole before he discusses the songs? I doubt it. Biggest mistake is assuming rush fans are nerds. Rush fans are from all walks of life and cultures. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
