Hey this song...its actually pretty good!
The intro is nothing new, the same chords we all know, but the song itself, although not terribly prog, is quite good, it does rock quite hard also... maybe the album won´t suck big moneky balls like I think it will...
|
And just think about this : they chose THIS song as a single, and very rarely are singles the best songs from ANY album...
Also, I've read that there are 3 instrumentals on the album (not confirmed though)

The single has been in my head all day - very catchy. Not sure how this album will rank but from one song I'm positive I'll like it better than their last album.

It's almost too bad that there's gonna be 3 instrumentals, because Geddy's vocals sound amazing on that track. His voice has really matured since the 70s and the vocals on this track are definitely better than even their last couple albums.

Although it is over 5 minutes long and has quite a few timing changes.... it's not, for example, New World Man. Ya know ?

Amazing news. The new single is a bit friendlier for the audiances that
I hoped, but it sounded very good. A little bit too much like Vapor
Trails, but I won't judge them by one song. I'm very excited.

Should we read into this or do you think its just one of those things? Not that I mind Rush's instrumentals at all, but Neil always has more than enough to say.

I LOVE their instrumentals, I expected one, but three ?
First time Rush recorded three instrumentals for one album (if this is true).
I guess Neil opted for :"Let the music do the talking".

Alpine Jones, you have to understand that prog has evolved over the years. Prog hasn't stuck in the past and it has developed in many ways and forms. If you listen very careful, Rush's sound has changed since 1974, and it is still developing. If the song feels lame or boring to you, then I feel sorry for you... If there's nothing special about it, then don't get the album either.

Nothing special huh? The band has been together for over 30 years and still making great music and it is nothing special? I happen to believe that most of what Rush has created is incredible. Not everything but most. From what I hear on Far Cry, I am confident that the new album will be great.

Dear AJones, just because a song is not 'prog' does not mean that it cannot be good. The snippet and the whole song really made my day in the past couple of days. They must have enjoyed the studiowork, will be great fun to play live I'm sure.

I believe they truly are on top of the world...  I wonder if the CD will contain that bonus material shot by Andrew M. during the recording sessions... Any thoughts on this?
