YYZumbi Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) I like both of them very much. Wish Them Well is probably my favorite song on Clockwork Angels. And Superconductor is a great dance song that just makes me happy! Edited September 13, 2015 by YYZumbi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddy Lee Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I love both of these songs! What do you say? People say they hate them? Well, they are entitled to their opinion. Even though their opinions suck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 No one should ever get lambasted for liking a song... Music is always subjectiveSo is humor, apparently. The chiding is all in good fun around here. If all we did was peacefully agree, this place would get pretty dull. Deviate from the norm, and take the ribbing in stride. Legit post.I havent really seen any lambasting, just a comment. Fwiw, this place seems very congenial . Which is somewhat rare on the interwebz...It is an island of general kindness in what can at times be a very tempestuous cyber-sea.

Entre_Perpetuo Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I've never understood the hate for Superconductor. Great song.Wish Them Well is probably a little worse than Superconductor, but its lower quality in Rush's catalogue is accentuated by being on such a collectively amazing album and by being almost directly between Headlong Flight and The Garden, two of the best songs of their career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket ignites Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I like both of these songs. I think Superconductor gets a lot of crap because of the video it came with. Boy that video is pretty bad. The song is okay. Wish Them Well was reported to be almost left off the album before it was released, and that made everyone listen to it with the impression, "hey, this is crap." You're right on the money about the Superconductor video...it certainly taints the song...it's THAT embarrassing. Add in the pairing of the song with Xanadu ("Xanaconducter") on tour...it might leave a bad taste in a fan's mouth. Wish Them Well was worked over and reworked some more for Rush to get the song album worthy. They finally nailed it...it's catchy as hell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grover Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I was always soso about Superconductor. I thought it was one of the weakest on Presto but I liked the lyrics, just not as a song. I used to think about Madonna when I heard it but then Neil seemed to appreciate Madonna in his later writings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtually anything else you could put on celluloid would be an improvement on that video. I still like the song, though. The bridge is fantastic and conjures visions of a laser-emblazoned concert hall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jomboni Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Wish Them Well has some of Neil's worst lyrics, horrifying background vocals in the chorus and really generic music. I guess the bridge is ok but overall I think it's the worst song since Dog Years! Superconductor is OK but I'm not in a hurry to go out and listen to it any time soon.

Rush Fan in Michigan Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I like them both. I liked when the band played Superconductor in concert with the giant inflatable rabbits, and the rabbits were rocking from side to side as if they were dancing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bridge is fantastic and conjures visions of a laser-emblazoned concert hall. I'm not sure if they ever did release it at first. Of if it did it got pulled right quick. Had a hell of a time trying to track that down on VHS at the time on a promo reel. Fortunately (or unfortunately) it's on Retrospective III now. I actually like the lyrics to Stupidconductor and the music (as much as it doesn't do anything for me) kind of fits in with what they were trying to do with its frivolous 7/4 simplicity. May have it the mark better if it were a parody. Wish Them Well is probably my least favorite from Clockwork Angels but I still like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnEggplant Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Both songs are awesome! I don't understand the hate at all. In fact there are a LOT of songs that people seem to hate with a passion and I have no freaking clue why. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pause Rewind Replay Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Loved each of them from the first listen. I dig all of Presto and CA (except for The Garden... speaking of unpopular opinions :D ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superconductor now "Thats Nice" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
