len(songs) Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Bands like Gentle Giant and Yes have this real "cheese" sound to them... Unlike Rush they didn't combine the "cheese" with the "cool"... Yes not cool? The answer is "YES"The answer to all of your answers to "YES"?

The rest is typically safely into either category. I "love" every song on Hemispheres". I can only say that about 3 Presto songs, and there are too many mediocre songs dragging it down.

Completely completely disagree A lot of love went into Presto The Pass, Available Light and Presto have nore heart than a song about the brain. And Chain Lightning too and even Scars...many of these songs have some of Neil's best lyrical "poetry" even Hand Over First has it's great moments How can we ever agree?Like the rest of the worldWe grow farther apartI swear you don't listen to meHolding my hand to my heartHolding my fist to my racing heart Take a walk outside myselfIn some exotic landGreet a passing strangerFeel the strength in his handFeel the world expand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Presto easily destroys Hemispheres lyrically And I mean real easily Anagram gets criticised. Hems has a song about bickering trees.

Hems has a song about bickering trees. Read into it as much as you want, Neil has said himself the song has no hidden meaning. I am certain Angram does. There is a lot of religious overtones in that one. May be one of Neil's attempts at attacking religion in a cryptic way before he got all literal with it.

savagegrace26 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I made a passing comment somewhere once about Anagram being about the death of Romanticism. Maybe I'll analyze that a little more closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savagegrace26 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 The thing about Presto is that evokes feelings and a sense of scenery with the use of striking visual metaphors to give a fleeting sense of time and space. It's almost like how Moving Pictures created these "cinematic" settings with each song but with Presto it's done more subtly and indirectly to give a sense of something. I had a dream of a winter gardenA midnight rendezvousSilver, blue and frozen silenceWhat a fool I was for you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
