savagegrace26 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 For me, it's Speed of Love, hands down. I'm just going to take this moment to say that I actually loooooove Hand Over Fist. Rush at the top their game. Seriously. Agree. It's a very good song with some nice sentiment that took a while to grow on me. The chorus is a little goofy I guess but not necessarily in a bad way (like DOG YEARS). Musically there's no complaints. A solid and underrated little tune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Randomly choose a song on Counterparts, and you have a 60% chance of being right. Animate I saw this before putting my kids down for the night and thought I'd just respond "no". But then I heard the live version on Different Stages, and I think I've been vastly overrating this song. I have to listen to the studio version again, but it was not good at all.

Disk98 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Let's see…what was that sidelong monstrosity from 1978 again? I don't care for that one too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anchorman Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Net boy, net girlSend your impulse 'round the worldPut your message in a modemAnd throw it in the Cyber Sea Good one. I may have to change my mind. Its amazing that Time & Motion and Driven (2 songs I really like) were part of that CD, as most everything else was forgettable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchorman Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) For me, it's Speed of Love, hands down. I'm just going to take this moment to say that I actually loooooove Hand Over Fist. Rush at the top their game. Seriously. Hand Over Fist is one of my favorites from that CD. Presto was a welcome change from HYF and has many songs I like. I even like Available Light. Superconductor and Red Tide - not so much. And then they gave us Roll The Bones.

Drummerrobin Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Face Up for me - just plain uninspired. How that song made the cut I do not know but I'm just going to blame Rupert Hine. Getting him back to produce RTB has got to be up there as one of the worst decisions made in the band's history I think. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Anagram (For Mongo) is pretty bad and not one usually mentioned.Generally gets around a collective C+ for effort. Grade inflation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Garden was interesting for about three or four times and then went to the bottom of the pile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
