AnEggplant Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 If you play "Dog Years" backward, you can clearly hear Geddy say, "Please, God...someone shoot me!" Why do people hate this song so much?I can't speak for everyone, but I hate it because the lyrics are stupid. And I've heard the, "Oh, it's just Neil's sense of humor.." excuses. But I don't believe it was meant to be humorous. I think it was just a dud of a song with which they had trouble with lyrics. As a matter of fact, that whole album was the worst lyrical work by Mr. Peart. Only "Totem" and "Resist" were even CLOSE to his usual standards. Keep in mind that this is just one man's opinion and I thought that, musically, it was a good album. I'm probably the only one that actually hates "Dog Years." But it's a "Far Cry" from their better songs. You like it? I do like it. I don't understand why everyone hates Test for Echo. Musically, like you said, it's really good! I can set aside lyrics and focus on the music (that's what I usually do anyway). Dog years is being serious but with a touch of humor at the same time. I think it was done with a good balance. Musically, it's pretty good! Why does this one stand out as terrible but people seem to be crazy for "The Weapon", which is just boring, repetitive, and weird.

We can compare preferences forever, but comparing "Dog Years" to "The Weapon" pretty much assures we will never agree on anything!I can't speak for everyone, but I hate it because the lyrics are stupid.

MMCXII Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Thing I could never understand is why the intention doesn't get reversed when the music does.. if we hear Satan when music is played backwards then playing it forwards would reveal the words of God by my math.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all bullshit as most know anyway. There are lunatics that could find the devil in an old Romper Room episode or on a Checkers board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicHead Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 A slightly contrary scenario emerges when you consider the deliberate backward-masking of ELO. Fire on High is pretty freaky stuff, as is the song entitled (TA-DA!) "Backwards Messages." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mother of all machines Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) YES!

Turn back!!!!" :D Reminds me of the tiny bride from the haunted Mansion. The album is "Secret Messages", put out during the height of the frenzy to expose satanic music. A clever marketing attempt, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
