LedRush Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Good gawd all this GUP stuff, you people know nothing about Rush music. Where the Real Rush Fan Forum? ;) the results are a bit.....uh........strange :) Mick I wonder if part of this might be because when GUP came out originally people didn't listen to it much but over the years they've come back to it and now enjoy it more. When I started listening to Rush, I immediately liked the first 8 albums and RTB (which was getting a lot of radio play). I didn't get into the synth stuff for about 5-8 years later, so my appreciation for both Signals and GuP came at around the same time. Signals has one amazing song, a few good ones, and a very weak side 2. GuP is just more consistent. If it weren't for Subdivisions and the fact that Signals follows PeW and MP, I doubt nearly as many people would prefer it to GuP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnRogers Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I find that Signals has deep ties musically with Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures. While Grace Under Pressure was a new departure. I evolved with Rush so I enjoyed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) I just like the SOUND signals has better too. I always thought grace's Production was weak and has aged pretty awfully myself. then again a lot of 80's Rush......much as i love it has not aged well. Power Windows, HYF, Presto. So ya, lol Mick Edited February 9, 2015 by bluefox4000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So ya, lol Mick The sound is better on Signals (thank you Terry), but the songs are just weaker, for me. And I find most of the lyrics on GuP to be master-class. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddy's Soul Patch Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I don't think any 80s Rush sounds dated. It all sounds like music from the future to me :smoke: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're all entitled to have our own opinions without being judged. And anyway, Hemispheres sucks. Subdivisions doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
