You can like it or hate it we are all different, but punk was great but it came and went in a flash while the bands like Rush they were supposed to wipe out carried selling bucket loads arenas and influencing new bands 40 years later.
Entre Nous is awful.
Different Strings has a weak first half but an interesting second half, with Alex’s solo faded out too soon. Freewill grates on me too, mostly because of Peart’s lyrics (this track and Limelight have always bugged me).
All of the above said, the other 3 tracks are mighty fine. Although on a personal level I’ve now heard Spirit so many times I’d be happy never to heard it again, it is an uplifting classic.
The two I play the most are Jacobs Ladder and Natural Science. Too busy trying to watch the footy here, but the first 2 of the 3 sections of NS have incredible dynamics and are so exciting to hear at volume. The second half of Jacobs Ladder, a track with evocative lyrics, is stunning too.
8/10
Yeah, it’s evocative for me; lyrically and musically it paints a picture I can see.Evocative? Written about a storm passing and the sun coming out?
"All at once the clouds are parted, light streams down in unbroken beams."
Poetic yes, evocative? Naaaa...

To be fair, I managed to score The Beatles a 6 for managing 3 songs I acknowledged out of the 13(?)Evocative? Written about a storm passing and the sun coming out?

And an 8? based on 2 songs you like?

I've never heard any Rush albums and have hardly heard any of their music. I cannot even name one track by them so I'm no good in reviewing this album.
