People always say snakes is un-melodic. which is just stupidly false. they are there but they just aren't immediately graspable.

 

Segue was gulty of this, lol

Snakes has a lot of singable songs! Just the other day I caught myself singing Armor and Sword.

 

One of my all time favourite Rush songs to sing along to!

[willowroolz]

I listen to it from Far Cry through to Hope, skip/delete/avoid Faithless, Bravest Face and Good News First, then finish with MalNar and We Hold On. Probably what they should've done in the first place.

Nevermind, seems you take too many

 

One pill makes you nervous, and one pill makes you small, and the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all.

Armor and Sword can be stuck in my head for days...in a good way. :D

[presto123]

The Larger Bowl is so far my favourite song.

 

The Way The Wind Blows is amazingly melodic.

 

Armor And Sword basically just gave me life.

 

The folkiness of this album...what took me so long to get into this?

 

 

No offense and I respect everybody's opinions, but the folkiness of that record is the reason I rarely listen to it. Last thing I want out of Rush is folk. I still say their Feedback stage is what eventually lead to this SnA experiment. I like about half the record. The other half not so much. I do agree that Monkey Business is awesome though:)

Here's an S&A documentary question. I'm watching it now. Again. The part when they take a selfie of themselves (for those who have this, it's about the 28/29 minute mark)? When they look at it, you hear a really high pitched laugh. I think it's Geddy, but I'm not sure. My point in bringing this up is that if it is him, he's got quite the laugh when he finds something exceedingly funny. :laughing guy: Edited October 22, 2015 by Lorraine

I think in the long run, SA is bound to fade again, as I am not convinced that this is a genuine favourite. But like Counterparts and the debut, I have come to the conclusion that for what it is, it is really, really strong!

 

As an album, I still find it all blurs a bit into what feels like a bland mush. But like CP, individually I am really enjoying most of the songs! So this is more likely to find long term favour on a Rush playlist, rather than as a frequent album listen. Together, the songs blur too much, which is actually a fault I ascribe to every Rush album post-GUP (not that this is a bad thing in every case).

I don't think of albums in terms of how they'll fade in the future or how they flow. I just listen and if I like it I like it. :P

I didn't expect to like CP. I do now. just go with it........don't worry bout the future bud.

That goes with me and Tales From Topographic Oceans! Those who hate it, I completely understand, and will even agree most of the time.

[bluefox4000]

Where's that F# Alex owns in Hemispheres? The one he ends Far Cry with.

It's the chord that Hemispheres opens with

Yep, that's the one.

 

I never made that connection, either, until I read it in some post here, in the recent past.

That's what that sound is? It doesn't sound the same as in Far Cry.
