Lorraine Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 The thread title should be Moving Pictures and Signals vs. Snakes and Arrows. My apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Signals is better. But i picked Snakes over MP. WAIT.......WAIT. MP is just sooooooo overplayed and it doesn't get played by me too often. Snakes get's played more. I don't wanna pick MP JUST because it's MP. Snakes it is.......and......uh......bite me, lol Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Snakes suffers from length. Cut it to 8 songs and it would fair better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Snakes suffers from length. Cut it to 8 songs and it would fair better. Which is a common problem for modern Rush. They forgot how to cut the fat. Snakes in no way had to be over an hour.......much as i love it. And neither did CA for that matter.

circumstantial tree Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Snakes and Arrows is around the bottom of my list, so this poll was easy. MP and Signals are in my top 5. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Snakes suffers from length. Cut it to 8 songs and it would fair better.It would really fare better if only 2 or 3 of the 8 songs were on the original album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 snakes and arrows is better than test for echo. maybe presto, but I don't think anything on S&A is as good as the pass or show don't tell. then again, I haven't listened to snakes in a long ass time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut it to 8 songs and it would fair better. seriously, what is up with bands thinking you have to fill up a CD? not to sound like one of you old folks, but I miss when a band could say what they had to say in less than 40 minutes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YYZumbi Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) I was curious to find out when Snakes and Arrows would start being the preferred Rush album. Geddy Lee says of the album: "It’s big, it’s bold, and I think it’s some of the best work we’ve done in years."

Pale Facsimile Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I went with MP over S&A, but opted for S&A over Signals. I just never got into Signals as a unit by itself. I love Subdivisions and The Analog Kid, and I like New World Man. That's about it. As far as S&A goes, I agree with those who say it's too long...my ideal tracklist (assuming they used the same order after songs being removed) would be: Far CryArmor & Sword (but trim a couple of minutes out of it)Workin' Them AngelsThe Larger BowlThe Main Monkey BusinessThe Way the Wind BlowsHopeFaithlessBravest FaceMalignant Narcissism BAM...that knocks off about 14 and a half minutes (plus a couple more if you trim Armor & Sword), down to just over 48 (46 with A&S trimming). Much more manageable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
