Blue Barchetta Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Some of that album IS enjoyable. But, as I've said before, the lyrics to Dog Years and Virtuality just ruined the whole experience for this old Rush fan. :codger: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeson90 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Just an added personal observation, at times Ged's voice on dog years sounds like it was on permanent waves at its glorious best. Only track post-waves is replicated I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit T4E down to 8 songs, exclude Dogs Years, Virtuality and even The Colour of Right and it makes T4E a pretty good record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two songs, four songs, eight songs, No matter which you pick the songs are only half good which is the major problem for TFE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Dog Years (Hundejahre) is a novel by Günter Grass. It was first published in Germany in 1963. Its English translation, by Ralph Manheim, was first published in 1965. Grass's style frequently parodies Martin Heidegger's arcane philosophical syntax in Being and Time, which one of the teenage protagonists likes to poke fun at. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dog_Years_(novel) Edited August 23, 2015 by goose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushman2112 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 It seems to meWhile it's true that every dog will have his dayWhen all the bones are buriedThere is barely time to go outside and play That verse has more meaning to me than anything else on T4E.
