Voted for The Garden, but CA is incredibly overrated as a whole.

 

Also pretty much any Counterparts song since that album is also much overrated.

Deutschland, eh? What part?

Other - WITCH HUNT!

 

Blah blah great lyrics blah blah so profound and truthful blah blah, but what a boring dirge that song is!

 

It's the mood that Witch Hunt creates for me. That ominous, eerie feel and the lyrics aren't so much true or meaningful for me (although they are) as much as they paint such a vivid picture. Music doesn't always have to make me happy or sad to be cool. Sometimes it can creep me out a little and be cool. :D

:goodone: Witch Hunt and Jacobs Ladder are two songs that set the mood perfectly.

One other word: Hemispheres.

Just because you don't dig it doesn't make it "overrated", it's still a wonderfully crafted piece of music with incredible musicianship and interesting lyrical content. It deserves every bit of praise that it gets

It's overrated to me. As in, people rate it higher than me. Ergo, overrated. It's a matter of opinion.

North Rhine-Westphalia, more precisely in the Lower Rhine region very close to the Dutch border.

I'd like too retract several statements i've ever made about a certain song......this is in all seriousness.

 

I'm sorry......truly sorry about anything i ever said about Hemispheres. It clicked last night. I've listened to it several times. And it rocks. I humbly apologize.

 

That is all.

You better stop hanging around with Segue. His vacillation appears to be a catchy germ.

 

Just you wait Lorraine...I will have you swinging from your panties in a Toto loving frenzy!

 

:yes:

The Pass

 

I get this. I prefer Chain Lightning, which comes before it.

CL is one of my fave Rush songs!

Chain Lightning is a great song, but it's the least of the four great songs on Presto IMO, with Available Light, The Pass, and Show Don't Tell surpassing it. Don't get me wrong though: Presto has some horrible songs (War Paint, Anagram, Hand Over Fist, Superconductor), and the rest are just OK...

I Honestly don't understand how War Paint can be considered a bad song. Sure, the lyrics are cheesy, but it's incredible from a musical standpoint

The fact that somebody ranks it as a great song on the album gives me joy!

 

My four favourite Presto songs are:

 

Available Light

Chain Lightning

The Pass

Presto

 

But we all know that I adore this album! Only weak spot is parts of Superconductor
