Tony R Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I think it can belong to whatever decade Rush want it to be.Rush albums are universal and not bound by time or space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todem Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 80's no question. It was the exit from the 70's sound and into a brand new sonic and songwriting approach for the band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) 80's no question. It was the exit from the 70's sound and into a brand new sonic and songwriting approach for the band. Whatever the "70s sound" was, they were still making it on Permanent Waves, which was written, recorded, etc. etc. etc. in . . . http://eil.com/images/main/Various-60s++70s+The+Sensational+70s+426262.jpg Edited January 12, 2016 by toymaker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 How could they sound eighties in the seventies?Playing the devil's advocate, this album was released in October '89 but sounded much MUCH closer to music released in the 90s:http://www.sputnikmusic.com/images/albums/13438.jpg http://i.ytimg.com/vi/X_I4wtNPv5w/0.jpgHow about Hall & Oates' "You Make My Dreams"? It was off their 1980 (exactly on July 29th: Geddy's 27th birthday!) album VOICES but was recorded at some point between November '79-April '80. That song sounds 80s to me but it could've easily been written AND recorded in '79 before any of the other tracks off VOICES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 C'mon guys, keep it coming !!I'm trying! You guys in the 70s camp are a stubborn group of bastards and a lot more defensive than the 80s folks. Â I guess I'll try and keep feeding the flames on occasion because neither side seems ready to stop. Taste great, less filling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pound of Obscure Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Just listening to R40. As Ged is introducing Jacob's Ladder, he states we are on the "VERGE" of the 70s. Not in the 70s, the VERGE. SO!!!! If Ged thinks its an 80s album, then it darn well is. He is Geddy freakin Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The verge of something is still part of that something. So Geddy obviously agrees it's a 70s album, which it factually is as any sane and logically thinking person knows. Otherwise Geddy would have said "beginning of the 80s" (or something like that) if he agreed with the delusional 80s crowd, but of course he does not cause he's not delusional. :smoke: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The verge of something is not still part of that something. noun 1. the edge, rim, or margin of something: the verge of a desert; to operate on the verge of fraud. 2. the limit or point beyond which something begins or occurs ... By definition then, Geddy believes it is on the edge of the 70's but hasn't crossed the border into the 70s. Didn't give my opinion on it. Only Geddy freakin Lee's opinion on it. He is the definitive authority here. He is Geddy freakin Lee.

Planet X-1 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Certainly PeW is a product of the 70s. However, with the changes in writing style, slick riffs and punchy sound production,metaphorically, it fits quite well in the light of hopeful new year and decade. It`s too bad that almost all of the rest of Rush`s 80s albums brought it all crashng back to earth :P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
