JohnRogers Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Permanent Waves is a 70's album. That is why you fail and Darth Vader wins. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patjnev Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) PeW-Alex showed every guitar player up with the opening riff to The Spirit of Radio . MP - Yyz Signals -My first Rush album as a fan , and just like the first two only a few " meh" moments . Analog Kid kicks ass ! Subdivisions is so good, GuP - Hmmm....yes.......not too crazy about red lenses ......Between the Wheels ......Helll YES!!!!! Alex can still jam.But I am having trouble figuring out the songs. Power Windows ...At the time it was released I hated it . Now its one of my favorites. As a student of Alex' playing I could always get some kind of handle on his riffs . But as they became a more keyboard oriented band his riffs became more chordal and I couldn't figure them out as self taught player . I started waning as a fan. I should of went back to taking lessons lol. HYF Didn't buy it By this time I was totally lost . I have it now only because of a few songs . Presto -Didn't buy it at the time . Another regret but at the time I was in a different place . I was still a fan of older material but the new stuff I didn't get. I should of stuck with them because I would of been a better at what I was trying to accomplish. Edited October 10, 2015 by patjnev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Permanent Waves-Rush really Started opening up to something new......shedding being strictly a prog band. and it is thrilling.Moving Pictures-As over done as it is. still a masterpiece. They also start pushing the pop leanings with a song like Limelight.Signals-The synths are brought forward. creating a really cool sound, IMO. Plus we have Losing it.Grace Under Pressure-Ummmmm......I Ike the Cover.Power Windows- The synths are off the wall here. but i like it. There's just a crackly energy here that is unique to this album. And Middletown Dreams rocks.Hold your fire-The perfect synth pop Rush album, IMO the first 8 is some of the finest Rush music there is. Prime mover may be my fav Rush song of the 80'sPresto-Highly Melodic. Very Underrated. And i truly believe some of Neil's best most interesting drum work.

DirkPrattLerxst Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) I like/love all the 80's albums. PeW: fantastic album with more experimentation into pop-y songs but still proggy on songs like JL and NatSci Moving Pictures: another fantastic album from start to finish including some of Rush's biggest hits. The Camera Eye is a masterpiece. Signals: delving deeper into synths creating a deep and more powerful sound. Great songs, great album. Grace Under Pressure: more synths than Signals but some of Mr Lifeson's best guitar work. Great production and great songs (except maybe Red Lenses) Power Windows: all great songs, great sound, and some of Geddy's finest bass work. Energetic and exciting album. Hold Your Fire: the pinnacle of synth Rush. Almost perfect with Tai Shan being the exception. Love the drum set Neil used for this one too. Great song writing and synth melodies. Presto: back to a more rocky sound. This album blasts out of the speakers with energy and also includes some unique song-writing. Very good job by all three guys. Only complaint is the tinny production which could use some more balls. Edited October 10, 2015 by DirkPrattLerxst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na na na Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 (edited) Permanent Waves killer songwriting & a really good vibe on this album. Roll the bones.........6Moving Picture more killer songwriting and a strong feeling of perfection achieved. Roll the bones.........6Signals love the emotional feeling i get from this album. It sounds great too. Roll The Bones.........6Grace Under Pressure this album sounds just great, urgent & lots of atmosphere, as with Signals, smoking solos from Big Al. Roll the bones.........6Power Windows love everything about this album, the songwriting, the spacious production and the overall soundscape. Roll the bones.........6Hold Your Fire not as good as PW, but still a great Rush album with some really strong songwriting. Roll the bones.........5Presto a lot of atmosphere, autumn/winter feeling & I really like the production as well, my japan min lp cd sounds great.

TheAccountant Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Favorite songs:Permanent Waves - Entré NousMoving Pictures - Camera EyeExit Stage Left - XanaduSignals - The WeaponGrace Under Pressure - Every TrackPower Windows - Manhattan ProjectHold Your Fire - Lock And KeyShow Of Hands - MissionPresto - Chain Lightning Xanadu?? An 80's Rush song??? The live version was record for an album released in the 80's but the song is definitely a 70's song. So you have me a little puzzled there. No problem with PW's as a 80's album (although it was recorded in 1979) since the songs "fit" better with the rest of the 80's material than with the 70's material. BTW - welcome to The Rush Forum.

presto123 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Why does everybody keep saying PW is a 70's album? If it was released in the 80's it's an 80's album in my book. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could people hear a 1980s album in the 1970s? Maybe you know more than me, but it says at WIKI that all the singles were released in 1980. They didn't start writing the record until July 79. Came out Jan. 80. That is an 80's record. Even style says 80's to me. After all the weirdness that was their 70's catalog, suddenly this one screamed "airplay" and mainstream. By Rush standards at least. https://en.wikipedia...Permanent_Waves http://www.discogs.com/Rush-Spirit-Of-Radio/release/584714 Edited October 10, 2015 by presto123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Text For Echo Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 I included Permanent Waves because it was released Jan 1, 1980. And Xanadu is my favorite from Exit Stage Left, which is an 80's album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
