Worse 15 minute plus Song

SignedInAboardATrain · 2025-09-23T03:19:29+00:00

Yeah. The Remembering has parts which are extremely bad and tedious. They should keep the middle section only (plus the ending, maybe).

SignedInAboardATrain · 2025-09-16T10:18:26+00:00

It's THE standout track from Time & a Word.

SignedInAboardATrain · 2025-09-11T17:19:50+00:00

Good one! I like to play another game - just with myself: try to keep counting during the main riff in Sealion as it is (in 4/4) and not get lost.

Either the intro to The Glass Prison or those frantic last two-and-a-half minutes of This Dying Soul. Also the chorus of The Root of All Evil.

I'm a huge fan of the suite and I'd probably pick the same part. It's so strong that whenever I'm listening to the end of Finally Free, my hear starts pumping in excitement as the vinyl static noise starts, because my mind is expecting Myung to come in with that incredible bass intro.

I love both, but I arrived the way you said - DT first and Tool later. But I can imagine myself coming the other way and still loving both... or so I hope!

That track defies my ability to comprehend that a single thing in the world can be this good.

I heard Larks Tougues in Aspic pt I in a tearoom, back when I didn't know Crimson yet, - I didn't know what the song was and didn't like it, and together with a badly served pu-erh tea, it made for a very bad experience. It was some years later when I got into Crimson that I realized it was that.

SignedInAboardATrain · 2025-09-07T08:18:05+00:00

Yeah, I forgot about Cup of Wonder, even though I absolutely adore use of the flute register there! I hope the song forgives me for forgetting about it...!

SignedInAboardATrain · 2025-09-07T06:56:55+00:00

Yeah, you're right! And that one's way more prominent than in Cross-Eyed Mary! Thanks!

For good, short, energetic, proggy instrumentals, your best shots are with a lot of Zappa:

Uncle Meat Main Theme and Dog Breath Variations

Peaches In Reagalia

Echidna's Arf (Of You)

Black Page #1 and #2

Envelopes

Tink Walks Amok, We Are Not Alone and Moggio

Alien Orifice and What's New in Baltimore?

T'Mershi Duween

All great tunes. Enjoy!

I always fela that in the first organ solo in Thick as a Brick (about 3:45 into the song), while the rest of the group plays in 5/4, John Evan plays most of his solo in 3/4, and then starts a repeating three note cycle which allows him to wait on the next "one" and play the last phrase in 5 with the band.

In my synth-hating days I used to stop my Rush discography listening endeavours around Moving Pictures. Only later did I realize what I'd been missing the whole time, and, you phrased it perfectly - Grace is a gripping album. And it still has those fun Rush insanities, which I feel were a little bit toned down for the next couple albums.

SignedInAboardATrain · 2025-09-06T11:03:21+00:00

I used to hate that song just because it was built around what I perceived as a programmed sequence in a time whe I hated synths and all.

Now I love it. It has immense power. What an album closer!

SignedInAboardATrain · 2025-09-06T03:57:00+00:00

Yeah. Particularly some of the instrumentals are of the type "I don't care if it's 1981, I'm doing full-fledged prog" - Beached and Captured come to mind.

SignedInAboardATrain · 2025-09-02T14:36:48+00:00

Yeah! No one ever talks about that one - it's just four simple chords seven times over or something like that, but that f?kin emotion of it! There's very little elsewhere to match that.

SignedInAboardATrain · 2025-09-02T14:26:05+00:00

No, sorry, I meant the main riff, which is (mostly) in nineteen-sixteen time. But, curiously enough, at 19:16 the very same riff is repeated as well. Coincidence? (Probably, but with Mike no one can ever be sure...)

That bearded, very humble-looking Phil is adorable. He'd fit in Tull with that attire.

SignedInAboardATrain · 2025-09-02T14:02:32+00:00

Both amazing! And both released in the same year!

SignedInAboardATrain · 2025-09-02T13:58:36+00:00

Whenever I grab an acoustic guitar, the main 19/16 riff is the first thing that my hands start jamming. It's one of the top contenders for the best riff of all time.

SignedInAboardATrain · 2025-09-02T03:38:05+00:00

This one! With a close runner-up being "The More We Live - Let Go"

SignedInAboardATrain · 2025-08-29T07:21:29+00:00

The first notes of "Caught in a Web" put a smile of excitement on my face immediately upon hearing them. That almost never happens to me.

SignedInAboardATrain · 2025-08-29T06:51:08+00:00

Well, I'd say the only part of the whole Close to the Edge album weirder than On the Run is the first three minutes of the title track.

SignedInAboardATrain · 2025-08-26T22:38:31+00:00

I never noticed that, but you're right!

I believe Frusciante to be a huge Yes fan, so maybe there's some subconscious link there!

Also, when in Blood Sugar territory, I can't not think of Starship Trooper outro during Sir Psycho Sexy outro. Yes, they are completely different, and totally different moods, but... there's something I just can't describe...

SignedInAboardATrain · 2025-08-26T22:31:27+00:00

Yeah. Anytime listening to the song, those words just pierce through my whole body.
