I enjoy a lot of Snakes, to the point that several tracks are all-time favorites. But yesterday I tried listening to it as a straight album and couldn't even make it through the second track.

 

I have the same issue.

 

I also don't think Far Cry is all that amazing.

 

and that's a problem with CA as well.........for me anyway, lol

 

Mick

 

Same!!!!!!!!!

 

Both albums are meh to me with seriously good highs

I’d give Far Cry a “C” grade and is the 5th best tune off Snakes

Far Cry is the only song on the album with lyrics worth listening to.

All I can add is that Snakes is my least favorite Rush album. Nothing on it gets me too interested. Even the four songs that I do like I don’t think they’re all that special, just four good but not great tunes.

To me it's their most obvious late-career fan-pandering attempt at a "hit". And those "doo-doo-doos"...

The four good but not great songs I’m talking about are the instrumentals + The Way the Wind Blows. And I think all 4 have lost a little luster over time with me

I like Wind minus the chorus. The main riff is tasty.

Malignant Narcissism, The Main Monkey Business, The Way the Wind Blows, Workin' Them Angels, and Far Cry are all great songs in my opinion. (I absolutely LOVE the bass line in Far Cry). S & A almost made my list just on the strength of those 5 songs because I really like them all a lot. But I don't particularly care for much of the rest of the album so it slipped further down my list.
