bluefox4000 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 i've greatly warmed up to countdown...... but if you ask me it should have come before losing It. Awful as a closing Track. Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 It's a great album. One of the best curve balls Rush has thrown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disk98 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Signals is a middle-of-the-pack album for me. Subdivisions and The Analog Kid are incredible songs, and after that I feel it goes a bit downhill. Still, every song on the album is pretty good, so nothing to complain about here.

rocket ignites Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Signals is my second favorite Rush album after Permanent Waves...love that era. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalsBandGuy Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Very good. Not quite as good as the masterpiece that is GUP which followed, but very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 It's good, but it's only good After a string of great albums, it was a definite downward move, and it signaled (hehe) less good albums to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Do you think Signals is a good album, or a bad album. I feel like the album is put down so much because it was more driven towards synth after Moving Pictures. Signals is one of my all time favorite albums I just said on the HTF Thread that I absolutely hated this album when it first came out. I almost had a few tears in my eyes because I thought it was so bad. Fuckking keyboard pop album, with minimal guitar and drums fills. Well of course over the months it finally hit me. The album is EPIC. "Signals" is a great fuckking album. I hope they play "Losing It" next year. Along with a "Fly By Night" heavier version and "Jacob's Ladder." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here-- Waves through Signals is my favorite of all Rush eras. They were at their peak, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I actually think Signals is my least favourite album from CoS-Presto. And for all the stick Presto gets for bad songs, I would say every song on Presto is better than Chemistry or Digital Man. And I hate the production on Signals. I think they were right to send Terry Brown packing as Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows and Hold Your Fire are much nicer sounding records. The production of Signals leaves me very cold. Obviously I await someone responding to this with an overtly sensitive vibe or critique on how much I suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different Circles Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I love Signals . Perhaps though it's something to do with the fact that it was the album I had been waiting to buy as a new Rush Fan back in 82, I discovered the best band in the universe in 81 and tried to buy every record in the back catalogue but living in Ireland back then I was not able to get every one of them mainly because they were import only at that time, so as it was a new release I eagerly awaited and was rewarded, I seem to recall the media desperately trying to deem Rush as A rip-off of the Police with New world man, I was not having that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbine Freight Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Excellent album. The last truly great record they made imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 In late 1982 I would have said it was disappointing. They were losing the cool progressive guitar trio and going more mainstream. Now, I like the album a lot. Amazing how the years can change your mind...and after hearing what came afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just say......everything you said applies to p/g for me. production, songwriting. Hate that record. but hey....opinions, right.
