Blue J Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Face Up is actually a decent song. Big Wheel and YBYL are still of the two worst songs they ever wrote. Not a fan of YBYL but I like the other two. And I agree that RTB (as an album) is excellent. :goodone: on all fronts...I love Roll the Bones, except for that last song- possibly the worst piece of dreck they ever committed to an album. But if Roll the Bones had been just nine songs and 43 minutes, instead of ten songs, and 48...it would have been even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thirteen Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I love The Big Wheel. I feel such an emotional connection to the lyrics and music.The lyrics remind me of when I was young and thinking "What's gonna happen with my life? Will I be happy? Will I have a good life???". 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clearingsky Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I love every Rush album...and I can find some positive redeeming value in every Rush song from every album. It's true! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosher Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Based on what I've seen around I love a lot of unpopular songs. Anagram has always been a favorite. I hate Stick it Out. I love Countdown. I really like Dog Years despite the obvious lyrics. Fountain of Lamneth is brilliant. I am a lyrics first guy, always have been. And yet I actually like Need Some Love. I never cared much for Mission. I love High Water. Tai Shan's...okay. Test For Echo is a Very Good album. You Bet Your Life is one of my favorite songs of RTB. So is The Big Wheel. So is Face Up. In fact, RTB is better than Presto. By a lot. I probably have other unpopular opinions that I don't know are unpopular yet. In fact, my love for CA is emboldened by the fact that Seven Cities of Gold is in my top 2 songs on that album, and I love BU2B, which to my surprise are frequently considered the weakest of the bunch.

I play 2112 more than Permanent Waves, and always have, so maybe without realising it I secretly agree! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have come to realise I really love most of everything off Hold Your Fire through Test For Echo. Excellent rock albums, a lot of classic Rush as well.

Had Jacob's Ladder and Natural Science been Side 2 of Permanent Waves, that's a different story .. esp had they extended Jacob out from a 20 ladder to a 40 foot ladder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than anything off Hemispheres as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 The production of A Farewell to Kings just lacks a certain something. Excepting Cygnus X-1, the whole thing seems to have a little too much middle and high range, and not enough bottom end. Not by much- I mean it's certainly not horrible. But it's the least well-produced of the Terry Brown era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronos Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Lakeside Park is bottom of the barrel for me. It sounds cringeworthy and amateurish, both musically and lyrically. Definitely a skipper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's the least well-produced of the Terry Brown era. I think Caress Of Steel is Terry's weakest production job. Somehow a step down from FBN even though they had more time to record it. Mostly Geddy's vocals...I think he should have double tracked them like he did on FBN to give them a thicker presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
