Narps Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 The Big Wheel was a clunker. That may be "Heresy" to say but..... :) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 Hey! Where's My F ing Thing? This is my kind of Rush. A an entire album of this would suit me just fine..... :dweez:Â My least favorite instrumental, yet still a good one. They've never done a bad instrumental. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 The Big Wheel. Things are getting a rough at the moment. I trudge on onward..... :)Just wait until you get to the last two. Along with HYF and CP easily my least favorite closing duo. You don't like Cold Fire and Everyday Glory? :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 Hopefully it'll feel better when you're on Ghost of a Chance. That one's okay, and they did a good job with it on the S&A tour. Great solo from Alex, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanadoood Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Narpski, be careful. I was just told by a Rush fan that I can't be a true Rush fan because I don't like Snakes & Arrows. I'm serious too. :sigh: Snakes and Arrows, after Far Cry, becomes essentially a droning mess of mid-tempo mush with the odd instrumental here and there to at least KIND of redeem it. Vapor Trails at least had some energy to it despite the horrible production (I love VTR by the way). S&A gets boring after one and a half songs, and the only other things worth listening to are the instrumentals.There are folks here and God bless em that think you must love (or at least like alot) everything they have ever done. The conversation to me is much better when there is civil discourse on the merits of each recording. Pros and cons and why. That's just me however..... :codger: Â Yeah, but you don't do that. You just dismiss anything that doesn't rock out like it's the summer of '77.. I can appreciate and understand why Rush has changed it up and tried to stay relevant . If they had only sounded like 77 forever, no one would give a shit. Â Don't take this offensively, but it seems musically you never grew . You like stuff from your youth cause it brings back good memories and that's that.. Nothing wrong with that, but some of us embrace musical change. Â An album like S&A is sublime with some great guitar layering from Alex.. Especilly his accoustic playing.. IMO of course . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

len(songs) Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Anyone else think Narp was lucky with his computer?

len(songs) Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 CP next. I honestly have no idea whether Narp will like this one; with his history, this could become another Presto... or another HYF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) Re: Presto: I have never seen a more beautifully-designed album cover with such goofy subject matter. I love the cover. But I think it also reflects what is inside the grooves of the record (last Rush album I bought on vinyl): cute and fluffy, with a couple of exceptions (bunnies with teeth).

Narps Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 My simple assessment is that side one is good and side 2 is pedestrian at best. Just my opinion of course..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
