Pound of Obscure Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 A high point in an otherwise drab and plodding album. A drab and plodding song on a drab and plodding album.I wasn't going to blow up the thread with my disdain for all that is Snakes, but Tony R came through for me. Drab and plodding however, doesn't adequately describe the crapfest that is everything but Farcry. I'll leave it at that, or not. :outtahere: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 A high point in an otherwise drab and plodding album. A drab and plodding song on a drab and plodding album. It is plodding, but I think for that particular song I think it works, gives it a kind of gravitas.....the rest of the album is a turd, I agree.

Lorraine Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Be careful Fridge! I, too, once thought the album a stink-o and completely unworthy of Rush. Then, TRF member RUDT shamed me into listening to the album one more time. Usually willing to humor anyone, I gave it another listen. Then, I couldn't get the songs out of my head. Over and over and over and over and over they played until they drove me batty. The rest is Rush history. :) Edited December 16, 2015 by Lorraine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormtron Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I like about half of the album. Armor and Sword is definitely one of the highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg2112 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Havent listened to that song (or album for that matter) in literally years. But from what I recall it was definitely one of the best songs from S+A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Love the album but the song isn't one of my favorites from it. It fits well within the flow of the album but wouldn't put it in a mix. Still like it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Dad Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I still dont understand why they took it out of sequence for the tour/live album. They way it follows Far Cry on the abum is buttah. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) One of the better songs on a very average Rush album.Seeing that it'd be in my least 5 (possibly 3), that'd make it a below average Rush album for me.
