RUSHHEAD666 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Okay, a few things... - Rush learned not to ever do another rap after just one attempt. - I like the theme of that album that I refuse to say. - "A random universe doesn't have to be futile; we can change the odds, load the dice, and roll again..." - Neil Peart Elegantly stated. I love that record. Minus the rap. Just a sign of the times. Rush loves to be trendy at least with one song. "Roll The Bones" and "Stick It Out" come to mind. So one could deduce that when Rush writes a "trendy" song to go along with that time frame it fuckking sucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worlds apart from the 70s & early 80s stuff BUT the thoughtfulness is still there...yet it seems like he crafted it on the spot without much thought. Complicated.

Actually love love Neil's drumming on "Bravado" even though it sounds like a cheesy Journey song. The theme of that album is excellent hence "Face Up" is one of my faves. It must be the drummer in me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I'm glad they didn't start their career with it. The irony of Rush then is that they stated out with their debut that was clearly a Led Zep rip off. However EPIC. Then Neil came in and changed the entire dynamic to nerd power prog rock for necromantic nerds.Then came Steel. A record that I love every single note on yet Mercury Records had their empty suit assheads so far shoved down their ignorant radical rectums that they had no clue about the greatness of the band until 2112. Funny how 2112 saved Rush, just as Tommy saved The Who in 1969. Concept albums saves bands in the commercial cesspool of corporate whorism. Gosh I love irony.

Verena Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I like the art cover for Roll The Bones. I can't forget about Bravado, is one of the most beautiful songs they already made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahahahahaha!!! Jesus Fridge, one of your best posts. Fuckking classic. Ironically this is my last favorite album by them. Minus "The Speed Of Love." and "Stick It In." Story of my life.

apetersvt Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 The opening riff to Show Don't Tell is pretty cool. Made me think, "Nice, they are trying to get back to their metal roots, put the guitar in the forefront, and throw the keyboards in the dumpster where they belong." But then the first verse starts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day of Light Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 Feedback: i havent deleted it from my itunes Feedback doesn't count! And why does not Feedback count!? Feedback is cover songs. It's not original Rush material, so rating it against the other Rush material is irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnalogRich Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hold your fire has some great bass moments and Roll the Bones has some great guitar solos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Feedback doesn't count it's just a fun little experiment. They only refer to it as an album I think because Clockwork Angels looked more impressive advertised as a "20th studio album". Which is sort of misleading. Every band plus their fat aunt released a covers album in the early to mid 00's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
