Rush

Cylob · 24th August 2003, 17:25

Favourite Rush tracks anyone? Also, is Vapor Trails any good or not?

Ghoti · 24th August 2003, 19:21

Time Stand Still
Lyrics taken to heart about growing up/growing old.

I turn my back to the wind
To catch my breath
Before I start off again.
Driven on without a moment to spend
To pass an evening with a drink and a friend

I let my skin get too thin
I'd like to pause
No matter what I pretend
Like some pilgrim
Who learns to transcend
Learns to live as if each step was the end

(Time stand still)
I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
(Time stand still)
See more of the people and the places that surround me now
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each sensation a little bit stronger
Experience slips away
Experience slips away

I turn my face to the sun
Close my eyes
Let my defences down
All those wounds that I can't get unwound

I let my past go too fast
No time to pause
If I could slow it all down
Like some captain, whose ship runs aground
I can wait until the tide comes around

(Time stand still)
I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
(Time stand still)
See more of the people and the places that surround me now
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each impression a little bit stronger
Freeze this motion a little bit longer
The innocence slips away
The innocence slips away...

Summer's going fast, nights growing colder
Children growing up, old friends growing older
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each impression a little bit stronger
Experience slips away
Experience slips away...
The innocence slips away.

Cylob · 24th August 2003, 19:25

It's amazing that a drummer can pen such lyrics.

Shenlong · 24th August 2003, 19:36

I've got Vapor Trails...You have to listen to it to like it, but it's good...A recommended buy if you're a Rush fan...

My favorite Rush song is Working Man...Sometimes toe long solo gets on me, but it explains my life lately on the weekdays...

Cylob · 24th August 2003, 19:49

I must listen to Vapor Trails, my problem is it opens with a monolith of a song and then seems to take a nose-dive. But as you say, you have to give it air time.

Hemispheres is a Sunday morning favourite of mine, 36 mins 13 seconds of pure escapism. The only problem is it ends.

zootm · 24th August 2003, 19:50

vapor trails is fantastic, i would recommend it. neil peart's recent ordeals are shown in every bit of the album - it's a half-angry, half-accepting album. i like it.

favourite tracks? 2112, the big money, leave that thing alone, la villa strangiato... there's too many to mention, really...

k_rock923 · 25th August 2003, 04:53

well the only track i ever heard is limelight. so i guess it would be my favorite. i always meant to check out the rest of their stuff just never got around to it

Cylob · 25th August 2003, 07:09

You're missing a treat dude. It doesn't matter which album you start with, they're all excellent (1975 through 2002). 16, 17 albums worth.

Ghoti · 25th August 2003, 14:36

The only release by Rush that I found disappointing was "Presto", and it wasn't because of the music.

It seems that the low-end was rolled off in the final EQ and I have to punch it up whenever I play it.

Does anybody else notice this or is it just my old ears wearing out?

WomanOfHeart · 25th August 2003, 16:01

"Closer To The Heart"
"Panacea"
"Ghost Of A Chance"
If I keep going, I'll just end up listing most of their work. I've been a huge fan since I first listened to "2112." In my opinion, their music is among the most intelligent, original, and creative out there. Neil Peart is the best drummer, and finest lyricist there is. But, what do you expect from someone who's nicknamed "The Professor on the Drum Kit?"

I hadn't noticed it. Perhaps you fell for the trick at the start of 'Show Don't Tell' - the ever-so-delicate percussion (which makes you increase volume) followed by the thunderous roar. You could easilly have burst an eardrum then.

Ghoti · 25th August 2003, 16:56

Not so much a "volume" issue, just the EQ sounds a tad weak in the low end.
I realize that Geddy plays with a bit of "snap", but all along the bottom end, it just starts weak and stays weak thru the whole set.

I wonder if it's a bad pressing? I've heard of having a bad EQ on the first release and then the tape goes back into mastering for a better mix down. Maybe that's the case for my copy.

Anyway, the music remains, arguably, as some of the best that Rush has produced.

I agree. Perhaps it's just the production - wasn't it their first to be produced by Rupert Hyne? It has a completely different sound to 'Hold Your Fire' or 'Power Windows'.

Y'know, I think you're right.
Different producers have wide ranging "philosophies" about how much bass to allow in the mix.
Hell, even the studio can color how music sounds during mixdown.
I'll need to research "The Rupe" and see what else he's produced and check out his "style".

Cylob · 26th August 2003, 05:31

He also produced Howard Jones & the Thompson Twins. A bit of an odd choice then, but Rush were practically a new wave act from Grace Under Pressue onwards (you could arguably call it synth pop). I always preferred Peter Colins production to Hynes' anyway. Imagine if Colins had produced Presto - it could've sounded Hold Your Fire-ish. They should've pressed 2 different versions!

Ghoti · 26th August 2003, 11:32

I also found where he did a Stevie Nicks album.
There's just not that much out there (Google) for Rupert.

Respect to Cy! You really have a handle on this music thingy!

Cylob · 26th August 2003, 11:49

There's an echo in Music O'Rama.

nyeep attacks · 29th August 2003, 10:35

This forum introduced me to rush, I thank you all.

*sticks on 2112 for the first time in ages*
*hugs forum*

Cylob · 1st September 2003, 09:12

It is a nice experience isn't it! Kind of like striking oil - lots of it.

ÇhäötïÇLüñätïÇ · 1st September 2003, 09:19

I never got into Rush... But I know they're talented... Geddy Lee is a pro... Plus he's Canadian too!

Cylob · 1st September 2003, 09:22

Rush make up for Celine Dion, Bryan Adams & Alanis Morisette. All is forgiven.

ÇhäötïÇLüñätïÇ · 1st September 2003, 10:19

Tru that... I like Cryptopsy tho... their from Quebec.. lol french death metal.... they sing in english tho.

Cylob · 1st September 2003, 10:25

French death metal could only happen in Quebec! Apparently France ain't a rock n roll country, I sometimes wonder what they do listen to. I know Boney M are huge over there.

taylormemer · 1st September 2003, 10:37

Ok so i downloaded my first Rush song today, yer their ok, there not the best, for some reason they remind me of Queen......Overall the song i got was called Tom Sawyer not a bad song.

Cylob · 1st September 2003, 10:48

Tom Sawyer's a classic. Try 2112 and Spirit of Radio.

The former's 20:33 long. Another good one to start with - Natural Science. Rush rock!

Nah, oil has no real value to me but I can trade it for a lot. Would you ever trade Rush for anything? I think it's more like striking gummy bears - lots of them. Mmmmmmm gummy bears....

My personal favorite is "Time Stand Still" from Hold Your Fire.
Although there are musically "better", this song's lyrics go right into my heart, probably because of my own current chronology.

nyeep attacks · 1st September 2003, 21:38

Gah! Thanks to this thread reminding me of rush I'm in the middle of a prog obsession...
I've currently got king crimson on.

FesterHead · 2nd September 2003, 01:39

Red Barchetta
Countdown
The Camera Eye
The Spirit of Radio
Finding My Way
YYZ
By-tor and the Snow Dog

They way Geddy, Alex, and Neil rotate the music to provide lead roles for their respective instruments circulates within me and draws it closer to the heart.

nyeep attacks, try give my station, FesterHead Radio, a listen.
While I do have some modern and alternative rock, my mainstay is progressive rock such as Rush and King Crimson.

Ghoti · 4th September 2003, 01:11

Q: How many drummers are needed to change a light bulb?

A: Ten. One to change the bulb and nine to discuss how much better Neil Peart would have done it.

FesterHead · 4th September 2003, 02:05

Rush in Rio to be released October 21, 2003.

LOL! Good one Ghoti.

Cylob · 5th September 2003, 09:22

I would say Taylor:

*Old Stuff*
2112 (the track).
Natural Science
Freewill

*New Stuff*
The Big Money
The Mission
Lock and Key

taylormemer · 5th September 2003, 09:25

Thanks Cylob, ill look into getting those tracks.

Cylob · 5th September 2003, 09:42

You won't regret it.

taylormemer · 5th September 2003, 09:48

Im sure i wont.=)

Cylob · 23rd September 2003, 16:58

Favourite Rush album anyone? I know it's hard to choose from 17, but there must be 1 that hedges it. For me it's this:

Power Windows and Hold Your Fire are unique in the music world. There's nothing before or since that sounds quite like it - complicated arrangements, intelligent lyrics, clever interplay between guitar & synth. Tredding new territory? Yes.

DJ Egg · 23rd September 2003, 22:22

Wow, how did I miss this thread first time around?

Fave Rush trax?

Distant Early Warning / After Image / Red Sector A (Grace Under Pressure)
Mystic Rhythms (Power Windows) <-- top album!
A Passage to Bangkok (2112)
La Villa Strangiato (Hemispheres)
Freewill / Spirit of the Radio (Permanent Waves)
Xanadu (A Farewell to Kings)
Tom Sawyer / Red Barchetta / YYZ (Moving Pictures)
The Fountain of Lamenth (Caress of Steel)
By Tor & The Snow Dog (Fly By Night)
Turn The Page (Hold Your Fire)
Scars (Presto)
Neurotica (Roll The Bones)
One Little Victory (Vapor Trails) <-- just for the intro alone!

orac · 24th September 2003, 08:32

Power Windows... (brainwashed by Cylob)..

sorry Cylob, Different Stages is a good triple live cd, but its going on ebay...

Cylob · 24th September 2003, 10:29

I found Different Stages to be a mixed bag. The newer tracks (Animate etc) sounded better than the older. I'm not a huge fan of the 'live album', the only one I treasure is The Cure/Entreat.

Anyway Orac, Power Windows.

A man with taste.

Different Stages should go for about 8 squid.
