Rushman14 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Oh god, where do I start? 1. The music, while no doubt technically accomplished on all fronts, it feels sterile, formulaic, and there are few compositional risks taken (and when they ARE taken, they're inevitably embarrassing). It almost feels like a combination of the worst possibilities of '70s arena rock (cheesily anthemic choruses, overwrought hooks, boring songwriting) and '70s prog rock. Rush tries to appeal to a middle ground between experimentation and accessibility; nothing wrong with that, but their music fails at both. 2. Neal Peart's lyrics are often embarrassingly overwrought and pretentious, often reading like they were written by an acne-afflicted teen whose access to literature is limited to a copy of Atlas Shrugged and a handful of bad fantasy/sci-fi novels. 3. The synths, when applied, almost always end up sounding dated and artificial. While not as bad as, say, Yes or ELP, they're annoying enough to be noticeable. I try to respect other people's opinions but this is hogwash, and I don't use that term lightly. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardent15 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Let's see... Free WillThe Spirit of RadioNatural ScienceJacob's Ladder And that's 2/3 of the album. Entre Nous and Different Strings are also great. One of their best? I think so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
