That’s a great analysis of the album in general. Pretty much how I’ve always felt about it. This one is aptly titled. It really sounds and feels like being in limbo. Love some of Neil’s fills. They don’t sound like him at all. And I especially dig the vocals. Ironically, I feel that they are an essential part of this track.

I really love this instrumental. It's right up there with some of their best. Alex plays some incredibly loose but aggressive strumming (somehow?) underneath Geddy's atmospheric vocals. Both at the 3:00 mark with the monster mash bits and again at the 5:15 mark. Something about the vocals and Alex's guitar give me some super melancholia, but in the best way. Literally has the hairs standing up on my arms. Feels to me like a goodbye, but I couldn't really explain why. I listened to the album again ahead of your pass through and I had Limbo on nonstop repeat And with the grunginess in the production it definitely takes a few listens to really pick everything out, but that's fine in my book.

Never thought I would hear Rush do an instrumental in 90's Grunge format. If that was their goal, they accomplished it well. Some interesting drum and guitar parts, but still doesn't quite measure up to their classic instrumentals on all their other records. I applaud them for trying something different, but this is usually a track I skipped when listening to T4E and never made my Rush playlists.

This was a very atmospheric one. If you like this one then you'll like The Main Monkey Business on Snakes and Arrows because they have a similar feel. I was surprised they played this one live on the T4E tour because there are so many guitar layers on it. In the end it turned out all right. Cheers!

I always love this one when I'm listening to it (the part where Alex is playing that kind of angular-but-crunchy riff while Geddy basically uses his voice as a synth pad is freaking awesome) but when I'm not I struggle to remember what any of it sounds like. I think it's just because it's on a record I don't play as much as a lot of the rest of the catalog. I can remember the riffs for Leave That Thing Alone anytime, but I also play Counterparts a lot more often than Test For Echo.

Rush definitely changes with time. They borrow some from their past, and then they tend to allow current trends and influences in music to shape their direction, though without completely losing who they are. I had a hard time with this album as well. Same with Vapor Trails, though I think they have more to write about on that album. A lot of mixing issues with that album. However, I love Snakes and Arrows (lyrically depressing as hell though) and I personally think Clockwork Angels was a masterpiece at the level of Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures.

I'm right there with you Justin on this album. You're right it's like they're trying to ReDiscover their Hard Rock roots with just guitar bass and drums and haven't quite found themselves again with this album. Now I like this album more than anything previously all the way back to Hold Your Fire, and it has grown on me after I've listened to it several times through. And their instrumentals are definitely some of my favorite songs throughout their entire discography, but this one is the least favorite of mine out of all their instrumentals. But fear not, this album's almost done and then all that tragedy happens to Neil and they take, that four or five year hiatus, but when I get back together again they've definitely found themselves again by the time they get back together again. I think Vapor Trails onward is some of their best stuff. Oh and by the way when you do Vapor Trails, do the remixed version because the original is just very thin sounding. I haven't personally heard it, but I was warned away from it and told to get the remix, and I love Vapor Trails remixed. I'm just saying from what other people said, go with the remixed version. Even Geddy says it breaths new life into that album.
@mark-be9mq Жыл бұрын
If you look back to 1st albums, they're constantly changing. FBN is very different from Permanent Waves, or P/G After the synth era, they couldn't return to progressive ground they'd already covered or the simpler rock of Fly By Night. Can't underestimate the three individuals & group's curiosity & desire for challenging themselves. Recall Geddy saying they never felt they achieved the perfect album but were always trying. Out of musical & personal evolution, the sound is changing. If they hadn', they'd have gotten stale musically & personally. "Going over the same old ground..." and never gone 40 years. They'd fall into slow, retread, decline, or call it a day, with occasional reunions. Musically Evolve or die a stale death. That's my 2 cents, anyway.

I like this one. Neils fills remind me of some of the fills Gavin Harrison does now. I think you’ve given the album a good description. Not easily digestible. To me, it’s mainly the lyrics that hurt this album. And musically does kind of feel like they’re trying to find their way. kind of like COS.

Nice reaction. Totally agree. Sonically, it was interesting at parts; but for me, it didn't flow like some of their other instrumentals. It felt disjointed. Maybe that was the point with a title like Limbo. The vocalizing for me was reminiscent of 2112's Overture. It just didn't draw me in and make me care like their classics do.

This is Rush's Halloween song. 😄 I rate it lower than the previous instrumentals, but it's still got some cool things going on. Alex's guitar is really trash-y, and Geddy kicks butt all over the place. It just falls more into the "Rush Instrumental by the Numbers" camp for me. At least they rediscovered the joy of doing these things after a long hiatus.
@stevecollette6831 Жыл бұрын
I'd argue that Rush started to really stray from their sound, looking for other things that would work......but ended up with albums that had peaks and valleys, but not a lot that was a home run. The break that came from Neil's personal tragedy re-focused them like nobody's business. Wait until you hear Vapor Trails. 🙂

I've always felt they had no idea what they were trying to achieve, with this album. They 'tested for echo', but they were in the wrong cave! Certainly not the worst album - I wouldn't describe any as bad - but, along with RtB, CP, and Presto, it's an album I never play. There are far too many great ones. So, if I've got an hour or two and feel like some Rush, why would I pick any of those four? 🤔

Total rip off song. Can’t believe Rush would blatantly try and pass this off as their own especially considering the hit that they are stealing from. If you want to really enjoy this song you need to go to the source and give them credit. Monster Mash was one of my favorite songs 45 years ago. Oh how people forget 😉😂😂😂 All kidding aside, I know what you are saying about this album sounded different. Don’t know if it was the fact Neil was playing differently, the time of the decade that this came out and music was kind of blah at the time or something else. It’s not a throwaway album as there is some great stuff on here. Vapor trail is similar but a better album to my ears (the remix version anyway). But they don’t hit their prog sound again to Clockwork Angels and it’s a different prog sound than their older stuff.
