Absolutely love this song. Best one on S&A (which I also like very much). Loved it at first listen when my dad bought the album. Really glad I got to see it live on the tour.

 

I like Geddy's chordal bass lines throughout the song, and when paired with Alex's acoustic guitar, it sounds even better.

The first four songs on SA are all fantastic.

I went for "A solid track, not their best but decent."

 

I have grown to like it more than when I first heard it.

Rush are masters at making what are quite slow paced pieces of music sound hard fast and energetic, this track being a perfect example of that.

 

Great track from a great album. Quite AFTK in its own way.

I love this song. I have no idea where to put it in the poll, so I'll put it in the top 30.

 

Great song. :haz:

Sometimes the lyrics are so strong but the music too weak. In order to tolerate this "bloody awful dirge" (courtesy of Tony R), meditation and medication are helpful, but not required.

I picked "I like it but it's no 2112 or Xanadu."

 

This song has interesting drumming/rhythm, and the darker middle section is metal, and it does it in a way that makes the next part sound even more intense. It's my favorite S&A song, although it is still not quite on the same level as their best 76-81 era songs.

I like it a good amount. It's probably my 4th favorite song of S&A (behind The Main Monkey Business, Working Them Angels, The Way the Wind Blows). I think it's a good tempo song to dance with someone (if choreographed properly), despite them stating that they are not a band to dance off to (which is true, but I think this song may be an exception).
