Disk98 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Neither song is really unlistenable, but Dog Years really is so much better. The Speed of Love is just…boring. Dog Years is fun, somewhat heavy, and actually a highlight of Test for Echo (IMO). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I think neither one is really any good but at least Dog Years is playful in a ITIGB kind of way which is it only redeeming quality. I would listen to Dog Years first for the reason I stated.....You know, there are plenty of people that think Dogs Years isn't tongue in cheek.

goose Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Speed of Love is magnitudes betterIn advanced mathematics, as well as colloquially in popular culture, especially geek culture, the phrase "order of magnitude" is used to denote a change in a numeric quantity, Weird that geek culture would make its way into a RUSH forum.

PolarizeMe Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I voted for The Speed of Love as I find it as a nice breather episode in between a heavy track like Alien Shore and a song that's all over the place like Double Agent, and also because I like Counterparts more than Test For Echo. I do think that Dog Years got some great riffs though. I think it would've been better as a simple, straightforward instrumental although I suppose if you're a dog lover and a :rush: fan, the topic itself is something to like about the song even with the great riffs, and if the lyrics are playfully fun or for some horrendous.

ytserush Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I've never had a problem with Dog Years. It's a nice little experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
len(songs) Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Yeah, Speed Of Love sort of robs the album of momentum; when I play it without it, it just feels better going from Alien Shore to Double Agent than with SOL in between. Dog Years at least promotes what little momentum T4E has at that point; honestly, Totem -> Dog Years -> Virtuality sounds better than Totem -> Virtuality to me.
