Blue J Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Moving Pictures wasn't long enough. I hate that about it.Snakes & Arrows ought to satisfy you. But pack a lunch. Hahaha, okay, even as someone who loves the album I had to laugh at that. :) It is so long. Why do new albums always have to be so long? I'm perfectly happy with, like, 40-45 minutes of music. Heck, many of my favourite albums are closer to 35, with a special few around 30. It seems like a case of "just because you can doesn't mean you have to." I wonder if MP's legacy would be different if it had 20 more minutes of forgettable filler. I also like Snakes and Arrows a lot. But it could use a trim. or CA which is longer, lol Mick That too, yeah. But I actually have a more difficult time figuring out what I would cut from Clockwork Angels. BU2B2, but that's only, what, a hundred seconds or something? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 All you Witch Hunt haters - it's just like Peart writes in the song: because of your ignorance you're all just afraid . . . of what's awesome, in this case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Witch Hunt drags? Man. That said, the weakest track on MP is Vital Signs by a long shot. A throwaway on an otherwise perfect album. Booooo!!! :boo hiss: Hissssss!! :boo hiss: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiBeers Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I hate it because it's not about elves or black holes. You have to dig deep. Listen to the lyrics of YYZ.  If you listen to YYZ backwords, you can hear ZYY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedRush Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I agree about Witch Hunt. Over-rated in my opinion. I used to like it a lot, but it has no real weight, so it is one of those songs that doesn't withstand the test of time. Like Ghost of a Chance. Ghost of a Chance is much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) https://www.youtube....h?v=6gHKNwpny9o How the hell can someone not this? Boring and plodding. It ain't Walkin' on Sunshine, but it's hardly boring and plodding. The music suits the lyrics perfectly. You want a more upbeat song about one of the worst kinds of human behaviour? Enemy Within is more upbeat, but that also suits the lyrics - that sort of panicky, twitchy feeling people have when they get paranoid.

I have written a dissertation about The Camera Eye being about a cybernetic implant in the head of the android from The Body Electric.Just wish I had the intelligence to write a dissertation about anything.... :sigh: That's 'cause you ain't prog enough.  :P :P :P :P :P :P :P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen the thing live 12 times. Please, please, don't bring it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Witch Hunt is like...the best song ever... I am starting to think my taste in Rush is worse than that of Rush themselves... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
