Rushman14 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I was looking at the discography on the new site and it dawned on me that it was only an 11 year time span between 2112 and HYF. That is an amazing amount of output and growth for one band. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I've thought about things like this before- about how much change they went through in a relatively short period of time. You can look at individual songs, too. Less than nine years elapsed between The Necromancer and Red Lenses. Six and a half years between La Villa Strangiato and Emotion Detector. And on and on... I have to say one thing about the aforementioned 'disillusioned' Rush fans- maybe true at the time, but only as a very broad generalization. I think enough time has passed since the synth era for a lot of people to recognize that they were still writing and playing great music in the mid and late 1980s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 A very very different type of music between those two as well. Arguably one of Rush's heaviest records that I would say only the debut, Counterparts, VT, and CA match on that scale, then one of their most sterile. Both have some very nice songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 At the time I remember being disillusioned. Now, I look back and appreciate what a great and challenging band Rush was and is. I'd rather a band challenge my opinions and expectations instead of placating me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though my favorite era will always be 2112 - Moving Pictures. I remember being disillusioned the time as well. It was like they were going mainstream and kind of going away from what made them so unique. Then they went more and more new wave which was horrible, but now looking back at it since it's not a current thing it's easier to appreciate. They've never been able to recapture the magic they had on MP and before. Edited January 21, 2015 by EagleMoon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About six months ago, maybe less, we argued about that for pages and pages and pages. I don't know that it was ever resolved what era Permanent Waves belonged in. Personally, I think it is half and half - one foot in the seventies and the other in the eighties. It has songs on it that herald their "new beginning" and songs on it that look back to what they were. But Neil says that as far as he is concerned, anything before Moving Pictures is :boo hiss: .

Yeah that thread was a joke. Permanent Waves is a 70s album because it was created in the 70s. Just because it was released one day into the 80s doesn't make it an 80s album. :) AFTK, Hemispheres and Permanent Waves were the best of Rush. After MP things started going downhill on a long slow slide. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
