RUSHHEAD666 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I can't stand the song. It's unworthy of Rush in my book and an embarrassment to listen to.Geez Lorraine. It's not "Face-Up". Unworthy is "I think I'm Going Bald". Or "The Big Wheel"...most of RTB or Presto. An embarrassment? C'mon dude. I'm not a dude. And, yes, it is an embarrassment to me. He probably prefers it to Xanadu. "More metal"Yeah we know it's not Xanadu OK. Nothing else is. However, Halo Effect isn't excrement. We can point to other works in the canon that absolutely are...Halo Effect is not one of them. It is not Face Up. Or Neurotica. Or You Bet Your Life. O wow...I really dislike RTB... I love "Face Up!" Neil steals the show in the intro drum fill! I love RTB! But mostly for the drumming! The title track sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Half The World.... Half the HaloHalf the Halo effect is a cliche piece of shit. Neil didn't retire because of his withering fat smoker's chest body.He quit Rush because he can't write anymore. Time for a red apple! No really! I'm going to eat a honey crisp before bed. Her name is Maybe. I mean Sadie. why so bitter. Just negative poetry. I'm fine. Bitter? Yes, but not because of mediocre Rush tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Lovely little song. Not a classic, but it's entertaining. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. JD Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I love Halo Effect. My favorite song from CA by far.Another person not embarrassed. YES!Why would anyone be embarrassed by liking Halo Effect? It's not Half the World, Anagram, Hand Over Fist, Red Tide, Scars, Superconductor, War Paint, or anything off of Snakes other than Far Cry or the instrumentals. I like all those songs too.

But all those other songs you listed are awesome. :( Yes, they are all awesome. Including almost all of S & A and Halo Effect. Its the best song on CA - even better than The Garden, although not by much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 One of my least favs on CA. Probably because it sounds like a leftover from Snakes and Arrows. Which could explain why its such a good song. S & A is a very good album and far better than CA. Halo Effect is one of the few songs on CA that really compares well with the awesome material on S & A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I enjoy this one, even though it's my eighth or ninth favorite on the album, it's better than anything on Presto. I would go so far as to agree that it might, might be comparable with Presto's material. It would be one of the very few songs on CA that would be. Overall I am increasingly convinced that Presto is a far superior album to CA. But it is a good song. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerofthor Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I lije the lyrics and Alex's little interlude/solo, bit the song itself is incredibly bland and vanilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush! Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Definitely one that instantly stood out to me on my initial listen of CA- One of the top tracks from that album for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
