Segue Myles Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Let's not forget: I do believe Michael Jackson's "Bad" CD came out on September 8, 1987 as well. I would pick Bad over HYF. I adore Michael Jackson's album streak from Off The Wall through to Dangerous. i respect what Michael did in the music industry more then i actually enjoy his albums. Weird, lol. though Dangerous does not get the credit it should. i do enjoy that one. Mick Dangerous is amazing! I live his music, but oddly enough not sure I like the man himself. But in many ways he is fascinating! I actually love his videos as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirkPrattLerxst Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Just listened to this album for the first time in a while recently and I have to say that I never noticed how great Neil's drum work is on it! Some of the fills on HYF are insane! Edited April 14, 2016 by DirkPrattLerxst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedRush Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 The only one I don't really like is Time Stand Still. Arguably the best song on the album. It's up there in the top ten songs for Rush lyrics with me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Hold Your Fire is absolutely perfect. It probably wouldn't have won me over as a first Rush album, but it was the last Rush album I bought and I still think in many ways I saved the best for last. Magical album. Everything is perfect. Some albums I rave about have an aspect where I can accept it isn't for everybody. But like the dumb comments made about Zappa, this is an album where I feel sorry for those who do not get it. I mean that as well. Very emotional, musically better than it may initially seem, and vocally it sees Geddy at his peak. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Windows is my 2nd fav album. Mick Power Windows is great...but for the entire classic period it ranks in the bottom three. But I love it more than what came later. Great album but not one I have connected with. But that takes nothing away from it. Marathon and Grand Designs are two of my favourite Rush songs. Gonna play the album now I have whet my appetite just thinking about it :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Still my fav Rush album. Mine as well. Four or five absolutely top-tier Rush albums, and Hold Your Fire (along with either Permanent Waves or Hemispheres, depending on my mood) is at the very top. Brilliantly written and executed...it's just flawless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Open Secrets is a really beautiful song. Somehow I forgot about it. Poor Neil. I often wonder what was going on in his life that prompted some of these lyrics. I know he's has gone on record on saying they aren't autobiographical, but I don't buy that line at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
