laughedatbytime Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I must not be taking the right drugs. I've never been able to get into this song. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Bondurant Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) I must not be taking the right drugs. I've never been able to get into this song. You can always complain to your local drug dealer. Edited July 12, 2015 by Pete Bondurant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Lee Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 ^^ You have to be doing the really cheap acid for it to work ;). More earthy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I've loved it ever since I first heard it. At points this has been my favorite rush album. All I can say is, if you don't think you like it listen to it on headphones without interruption. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I think it's a classic. Like reading a good book. :) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielmclark Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 It has its moments of brilliance, to me, but it's uneven. It doesn't flow as well as their other long-form songs. Still, it's not the worst thing about CoS. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbine Freight Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Apart from ITIGB it's a great 70s rock album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddysMullet Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Parts of it, I love. Other parts, not so much. Overall, I hold a strong affection for it. This passage is high up on my list of Rush's most perfectly evocative: The mountain holds the sunrise in the prison of the night'Til bursting forth from rocky chains the valleyFloodsWith light. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djflex Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 One of my personal favorites of all time.... This song has always been on my bucket list to see live but still has never happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YYZumbi Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I love this song! It's almost better then 2112! I was listening to it earlier today and it's just a true masterpiece! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 It's the one song I like off of Caress of Steel...or collection of smaller songs for that matter. Not their greatest epic, but a solid one. Great guitar work from Alex. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddy's Soul Patch Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Fantastic song, especially considering it was their first try at a side long piece. Some really great guitar solos, and killer lyrics 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Fantastic song, especially considering it was their first try at a side long piece. Some really great guitar solos, and killer lyrics Agreed; it's really good. Really ambitious. And it just sounds awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 The album doesn't have the consistency or directness of 2112 (aside from Bastille Day), but the soundscape, the playing, the emotion, and the ambition make this a super-solid Rush classic. My favorite track is most certainly FoL. No one at the bridge is of Soliloquy-level awesomeness as far as Ged's vocals are concerned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satchmothesnowdog Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Apart from ITIGB it's a great 70s rock album.Yeah. that song is a pox on their entire cataolog. It's one of about five i hear and NOPE But Fountain and the rest of that album are amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, reading a good book is one of major joys in life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 My license plate was 'Lamneth' I've got '21I2' now. I think I've listened to Lamneth than any other song in the catalogue. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relayer2112 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I don't dislike CoS and fountain, but let's just say that nobody would be talking about it right now if it wasn't for what came after. They were lucky to survive that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I don't dislike CoS and fountain, but let's just say that nobody would be talking about it right now if it wasn't for what came after. They were lucky to survive that era. That's absolutely not true - The Necromancer my number 2 RUSH song, and Bastille Day and Lakeside Park are favorites too The first 3 albums are classic for me - Before And After, Working Man, What You're Doing, Finding My Way, In The Mood, By Tor, Anthem, In The End are the best of the best in my book I think The Fountain Of Lamneth is unfairly seen as a stepping stone to what followed To counter your point - I think The Fountain is unfair UNDERRATED because of what followed .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
