Narps Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 f**k it, I'll say it's subjective things like "it feeeels 70s" and "it feeeeels 80s" are up to the listener to me, its like a mix of both. they're not tryin to sound like zep and yes as much anymore, but the influence is still there. but they've discovered talking heads, the police, a little beyond the normal 70s dad rock stuff. I'm still goin with 80s at least we can all agree that its a good albumDisagree but like your argument anyway. It sure felt like the 70's still when I grabbed it from the bin on Jan 1. I should have checked the calender closer. A feeling just like you said... :) yeah, I'd imagine jan 1 1980 still felt like the 70s haha. I just think that TSOR was their way of saying out with the old (sorta) and in with the new! I'm not friends with the guys in the band or anything, but I took it as a statement and felt like the jan 1 release date was intentional. sorta like, this is rush for the 1980s and while all the bands we tour with fade into obscurity or turn into nostalgia acts, that aint gonna f*ckin happen to us! if that makes sense. now we can debate whether or not presto's 80s or 90s! it was pretty close to 1990...I think we could get 9 or 10 pages out of that topicWe can do that. At least I know the album now unlike when I arrived at the forum and had never heard it once. I actually like it too.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Example. There is a movie called The Plot Against Harry. It was shelved for over 20 years and not released until 1989. "The film was shot in black and white in the late 1960s and was not given a proper release. Almost exactly twenty years later, in 1989, it was discovered and given a proper release for the first time." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064820/ It's listed as "1989" everywhere even though it was shot and edited over 20 years prior. dear lord we need this guy in the SOCNHe can replace my departure from there.... No, I would be banned quickly. You don't want me discussing politics or religion....especially religion..... they don't want you discussing religion either :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lot closer to RTB than it it to HYF, and you could draw lines from RTB to CP... Honestly I was thinking more U2 however, especially on RTB.

bathory Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) f**k it, I'll say it's subjective things like "it feeeels 70s" and "it feeeeels 80s" are up to the listener to me, its like a mix of both. they're not tryin to sound like zep and yes as much anymore, but the influence is still there. but they've discovered talking heads, the police, a little beyond the normal 70s dad rock stuff. I'm still goin with 80s at least we can all agree that its a good albumDisagree but like your argument anyway. It sure felt like the 70's still when I grabbed it from the bin on Jan 1. I should have checked the calender closer. A feeling just like you said... :) yeah, I'd imagine jan 1 1980 still felt like the 70s haha. I just think that TSOR was their way of saying out with the old (sorta) and in with the new! I'm not friends with the guys in the band or anything, but I took it as a statement and felt like the jan 1 release date was intentional. sorta like, this is rush for the 1980s and while all the bands we tour with fade into obscurity or turn into nostalgia acts, that aint gonna f*ckin happen to us! if that makes sense. now we can debate whether or not presto's 80s or 90s! it was pretty close to 1990...I think we could get 9 or 10 pages out of that topicWe can do that. At least I know the album now unlike when I arrived at the forum and had never heard it once. I actually like it too.... it's a good record, yeah. the production's got no nuts but there are some real standouts on it. I listened to it from start to finish a few months back (which I hadn't done since 9th or 10th grade) and was surprised to enjoy every song for the first time. I wish they'd play more from it live because the songs sound waaaay more rock n roll live. plus, geddy can sing anything on it.

I actually like it too.... it's a good record, yeah. the production's got no nuts but there are some real standouts on it. I listened to it from start to finish a couple months back and was surprised to enjoy every song for the first time. I wish they'd play more from it live because the songs sound waaaay more rock n roll live. plus, geddy can sing anything on it.I'm not sure if Ged could hit the D in the chorus of Available Light. I mean, he probably could, but it's such an integral part of the song and he'd probably butcher it live. I love the song but I wouldn't want to see it live for this reason.

savagegrace26 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Snakes & Arrows "feels" like some lumbering retro 60's hippie album that was shelved for 40 years but was mastered and released in the 00's...
