I don’t play guitar, so maybe Alex is doing really simple guitarwork across the album, but to me it sounds great and it sounds like he’s way more prominent than on Signals or GUP. “Territories” is a great example. It takes a hot second for him to come in, but when he does he steals the spotlight...

Nevermind scores or anything like that, these two points are hard for me to wrap my head around. Power Windows has so much energy from beginning to end I'm surprised anyone would call it "laidback". Not to mention Alex and Neil taking a backseat. Neil's drumming is huge all across this album...

Two of your worst takes ever. Will breakdown later.

Y’all are making me want to vote for her.

The second night is cheaper than the first. Prices have been fluctuating though.

To me, them locking in and playing off each other and doing their own individual things is why I love the prog stuff so much. And there are so many moments that you don’t expect them to jump into. Probably my favorite prog band, all told. The videos I’ve seen sound good, and Annika is killing...

It was going to be Iron Maiden before I re-caught the Rush bug. I’m thinking of giving each album another listen and seeing if any of my scores change before I post a recap in the Rush thread. I’m kinda interested in ranking the songs as well. We’ll see! My takeaway, since I was also reading...

Hater. :mad:

I appreciated all of the comments!

Rush Clockwork Angels (2012) 1. Caravan - The murky sounds of a darkened shore, not of sea, but of space, set your mind in anticipation before Rush come STORMING out of the gates that held them back. “Caravan” fucking rocks. That riff is a scorcher and sets the scene for Geddy to lay out the...

Rush Snakes & Arrows (2007) 1. Far Cry - What an opener! For the first time in a long time, Rush sound fired up. It’s the first classic-sounding track since Roll the Bones, complete with groovy riffs, tricky tempos, and even a jangly guitar strum that sounds like it’s taken directly from...

RIP Still Life

Nah, for me upgrading TFF leg 2 is finding room for “Isle of Avalon”. Maybe “The Alchemist” too.

Afraid to Dhoot Dtrangers?

Out of the Cradle slander is crazy. It’s a delightful song.

Do you have a good link for it?

A lot of it is down to repeat listens I think. Rush didn’t just stop being good writers after Power Windows, but leaving prog behind was a big mistake IMO. They thought they were progressing as songwriters but in reality they were starting to settle into a box almost unthinkable in their early...

@Jer I'm back. Rush Vapor Trails (2002) After Neil lost his wife and daughter, Rush became a non-entity and Test for Echo loomed as a truly awful way to end a career with. Five years since their last tour, however, and the band came back with a record that stood not just as a return to music...

“Xanadu” alone being the opener is making me consider seeing them.

YES!!!! Clue 1: wings Clue 2: stand Standing in the wings there, you wait for the curtain to fall. Clue 3: bears mauled the youth I know that you’re gonna scratch me and maim me and maul. Clue 4: cat Your mesmerizing cat call. Clue 5: French It’s a French novel. Clue 6: the narrow path Don’t...
