Rush Survivor Finished: Red Barchetta wins!

Boo Earthshine's elimination. Madness, I say.

@mckindog That's interesting. I understand the darkness in the lyrics, but I hear positivity in the music. Judgement of Heaven is like this, very dark lyrics, but sorta upbeat musically. I hear that all over Snakes and Arrows, and it's a contrast that I like, when done right.

 

[Mosh]

If Far Cry is a classic, then it's only because the band made it so by playing it often. Very energetic track, lots of power, but also lots of the same, monotone continuity.

And I think it deserves that amount of play. I think it is a great song.

@mckindog it's a contrast that I like, when done right.

Me too, like in Far Cry.

Larger Bowl

We Hold On

Angels, Wind, Spindrift, Hold On.

The others are all legitimate contenders for my number two behind Far Cry.
Armor has all kinds of cool things going on, Larger Bowl has the album's best melody and all three instrumentals are great.
At the moment, I'm leaning toward Monkey Business as my choice.

 

[Kill Devil Hill]

Waitwaitwait. HOPE was eliminated? Aw.

The Larger Bowl
Spindrift
The Way the Wind Blows
We Hold On

 

[Mosh]

I lean toward Angels as my number two.

The Larger Bowl is one I didn't like at all at first, and I still don't like it much.

Last two.

All 4 of the remaining S&A songs are good though.

 

[mckindog]

All 4 of the remaining S&A songs are good though.

Agreed. But I'll support Monkey business over Armor

 

[Mosh]

That was a really tough choice for me. I kinda hope only Malignant Narcissism gets eliminated, so three songs can stick around for awhile.

 

[Vap]

Far Cry
Malignant Narcissism

 

[mckindog]

Can't agree with the votes against Far Cry. Easily the best song on the album. Best song Rush put out in a 15-year span.

 

[The Flash]

Last three.
