I totally agree with you. When I first bought this CD I listened to it one time from start to finish and I thought it was horrible. I threw it in the drawer and didn't touch it for years. Then I found it again and listened to it again, and again, and again. It's now one of my top as well. I guess I was thinking it would be more "proggy" then their other stuff.
I saw the tour with Primus opening...Primus was amazing, but Rush was kinda boring. (I was also with my future ex wife, that didn't help, lol.) However, many years later I saw them again & it was a great show, & they played for almost 3 hours.
@@mojoriot2293 I, too, saw them on this tour, in Orlando. It was my first time seeing them and I was blown away by the quality. I only ended up seeing them about a half-dozen times after that, but they were always consummate professionals.
Rush\s music truly is the music of my life, I started listening to them when I was a teenager and I just turned sixty lol. Timeless music with a message and supported with the most amazing instrumentation
A great tune off an awesome release!! I was pissed they didn't play this on tour that year...I brought 4 glow sticks and was going to throw them up high at a very specific point in the song - at 2:41 of this reaction video. Another awesome tune from this release is Scars, Neil did his drum solo during that tune on this tour. Great reaction, thanks!! Get those other reactions out!!!!!!!
Another great reaction. Rush is my favorite band. Started listening to them in the late 70’s and you’re 💯 right. They did make music that change your life.
This is one of my absolute favorite Rush songs and that is saying a lot. The way the song develops and the musical builds and harmonies are outstanding. The way Alex's guitar fades out at the end is beautiful, I always picture an eagle flying over a snow capped mountain on a clear day when I hear it!
So many people are discovering Rush and feel exactly like you do. There's nothing now, nor then, that's anything like them. Neil's lyrics are mind blowing and Geddy sings them in the exact way they should be sung. Alex is a god, of course. They are a perfect trifecta. It brings me so much happiness to see them loved and appreciated by another generation, as much as we did throughout their journey from the beginning. 💙
@@leemiracle6840 No need to get testy - I thought you may have meant it literally, and if so I was gonna give you a virtual high-5. You get one anyways for hitting all those tours. Envioius!
And to think there are those of us out here who have been with them from the start. I for one have been a fan since the release of their first album. My first concert was when they were the opening act for Nazareth in 1975. 32 shows later i saw their last show ever at the Los Angeles Forum August 1st 2015.
This guy “gets” it. Not everyone gets Rush. It’s a very unique and acquired vibration which some just can’t connect with. But for those who do…this band will change your life, as you said.
Presto has been my goto album lately, the lyrics and music are just incredible, but then every Rush album is so it's no surprise, but they have really held me in thrall lately!!
I'm so happy that you decided to Venture into the unexplored Galaxy that is RUSH.....And, to help fuel your thirsty "Warp Drive" ...... so that you can "BODLY GO WHERE FEW MEN & even FEWER WOMEN have GONE BEFORE... here's a FEW of my favorites that you may want to be COMPLETELY ASTOUNDED BY ....as you start this " Lifr Changing experience....and when you listen, of course I'm sure you will appreciate the story that we were all take on by Neil
You know....I get the sneaky feeling that I somehow forgot to do something. And so, after meditating on it for a few hours, and calling A Top Rated "Portable Palm Reader" / mobile Pet Grooming" girl... ( she's REALLY good too) it only took her 3 minutes to figure out ....telepathically or Magically I suppose... That I forgot to give you 3 songs to. Revel in..... 1. Natural Science 2. A Show of Hands. ( see RUclips for full ORIGINAL concert) the greatest concert I have ever seen 3. The Body Electric. On YT ...watch music video There you go Bud enjoy and happy New Year and rest in peace Neil
I love that line, "I radiate more heat than light." It's been a guiding principle for me, whenever I converse with someone, and especially disagree. The heat dissipates and hurts, but the light shows reality and shares knowledge. We should always remember which we emanate more of. This was the first Rush album I ever bought with my own money as a kid. And it still holds a special place in my heart. It's not my favorite, but it's got so many great gems in it. Anyone who hasn't heard "the Pass" yet owes it to themselves. Talk about a moving song.
Rush is one of the greatest bands of all time . R.I.P Neil . I have seen them live twice. They were incredible! There will l never be another band of this magnitude. 40 years together. Incredible musicians. Could you please react to Virtuality off the album Test For Echo! Welcome to the best fan base ever! You could never overload us with Rush.
Presto is one of my favorites. Very deep & different than their norm. Thanks for reacting. I've seen people request songs from Clockwork Angels. But I always recommend listening to the whole album, start to finish, with the album booklet. Would be awesome to get a reaction of that whole album & see how you feel about it by the end.
Please check out the Pass, the lyrics alone will blow you away..Neil had a way of weaving great quotes into his music and he did so in the Pass as well...You will enjoy the song
Presto is one of those albums that didn't get much airplay...or any airplay...but it has some real gems....like Chain Lightning and War Paint and a favorite of mine, The Pass...the only song to bring me to tears. I planned to see them on the Presto tour but the show we drove to was sold out. I saw them on the next tour, Roll The Bones, so they did some of the Presto songs on that show.
Good to see you back on Rush! How about two songs in one since the first song leads into the second; and the second is less than 3 minutes: A Farewell to Kings (official video version) Closer to the Heart (official vid)
This is a great example of Rush doing an anti-chorus. Chorus’s are usually the upbeat part of the song but Rush would often flip it and play slower chorus....brilliant. Oh Alex’s outro solo so beautiful
One of your viewers requested, “New World Man”. I Wonder if Neil Peart wrote this, thinking of Geddy Lee? Just a curious mind. Glad you enjoyed this song! This song has lifted me many times.
I'm glad to see that you appreciate the fine lyrics as well as even better playing and the level of musicianship these guys definitely raise the bar for all of music but I was wondering if you had taken the time to find out who in the band writes all the lyrics for all the songs?
Never figured I'd see anything from this LP on ANY reaction channel...kinda made my day. On another note, and just throwing it out there, "Witch Hunt" and, if you're into the Space Program, "Countdown" are a couple of kinda obscure cuts you'd probably enjoy. I've also been waiting for some of their first LP to start popping up. No matter what anyone says, that album is heavy as hell...considering the state of music when it came out. The early KISS stuff is nasty as well...
"This band makes music that will change your life and sounds like the soundtrack of your life" it's nice to hear someone new to rush say that. I say that but I've been a fan since single digits so like I am totally biased
I am so glad they finally decided to play this song live on the Snakes and Arrows tour. I really don't know why they did not play it on the Presto tour.
You gotta do a reaction/lyrical breakdown for the Rush song "Trees." It is POETRY! And has a message that's still very much relevant today! If no one requests it, I will next time...🤘😁
I would argue that the Trees has TWO different meanings, depending on how you read into it (and as my personal politics have changed as I aged, it still resonates to me, just in a different way now). That's beautiful writing, when there is evidence for multiple different, complex readings of a text.
alex is one of my favorite guitar player. he has an unmistakable signature sound on the guitar. one of alex influence on the guitar is steve hackett. check the song riding the colossus. you will hear and feel steve influence on alex in his playing. another guy with incredible guitar playing influenced by both alex lifeson and steve hackett is douglas A ott from the band enchant. check the song broken waves from the band enchant for a guitar solos that will pierce your heart. i sincerely believe that alex lifeson most heart touching guitar solo is from the rush song you bet your life.
Well, uh, yeah! I will always want more Rush! 😄 Kind of a no brainer. There are 167 songs to chose from, so.... And yes, that is my last name. Sounds the same not spelled the same (saw Spawn on your chair) 👍 Upload what you've got ready, then go 'eany, meany, miney, mo' and do some more.

HEAVEN ON EARTH

RUSH
Great video. Your summary was spot on. Life long Rush fan! Lyrically they are incredible and musically as well. Thanks for posting!
Long time Rush fan here. Rush - Presto album is very underrated. It's in my top 5 Rush album list.
Every Rush album is underrated.

Their music and lyrics are for Only one race!
The Human Race 😌
Nice reaction. Never grow tired of seeing Rush. Post as much as you want. Thanks.
Another one of their underrated gems !
💯 % agree ! Rush is great music 🎼
Great reaction to my favorite band. Thanx. ✌
Available Light is another great song from this awesome album
I think it has one of Alex's best solos.
Rush\s music truly is the music of my life, I started listening to them when I was a teenager and I just turned sixty lol. Timeless music with a message and supported with the most amazing instrumentation
So wonderful to witness your joy, listening to one of my all-time favorite songs.

Beautiful reaction, loved it ❤️
My god, I jusr realized again and again how amazing these 3 guys are. They are the inspirations of my whole life
Great reaction your right it makes you feel better every time listening to them. Listen to more!
Great reaction as usual. I love how you appreciate everything about this band that has changed my life for 40 years.
Man I love the emotion that you have listening to Rush!
It's the same feeling I have listening to them for 40 years!
Thanks for sharing homie!
Presto is a MASTERPIECE!!
Load up any Rush you have in the vault!! Can't get enough of this unique and supremely talented band!! Enjoyed the reaction to Presto!
One of my fave rush songs!! I was born the year this album came out and I've always felt a special connection to it
My favorite Rush song!! Thank you!!
Rush's music is the soundtrack of my life and Rush's music has changed my life. True, indeed.
YOU get it..! Welcome to the club, we're glad you could join us.. I still get goosebumps listening to it..
Always happy to see more Rush reactions TNT :-) And another vote for Camera Eye - one of my all time faves, think you'd love it too :-D
Well worth going down this rabbit hole!!! I've been a fan since my introduction in the early 80's.
Such a great tune. That line.. "If I can wave my magic wand, I'd set everybody free" ...gets me every time!
Yes you understand it is so relevent for today
One of my favorites😎😁🥰
This is my favourite Rush song ever, and my fave album of thiers. Great choice!
I seen them live 37 times. I started my rabbit hole journey in 1975. It is a very amazing rabbit hole to go down. Enjoy✌️
More Rush. Always more Rush. Great reactions!
“Presto” is one of their finest songs. Nice to see someone giving it some attention. Check out “Marathon.”
Solid choice.. live version from the Time Machine tour is outstanding.. ruclips.net/video/EqdWa_Iip4Y/видео.html
Oh yes, Marathon is amazing!
Presto and Marathon are Masterpieces!!
Upload all those Rush vids, I will be here for each and every one of them!!
One of my favorite rush tunes.
This is one of my absolute favorite Rush songs and that is saying a lot. The way the song develops and the musical builds and harmonies are outstanding. The way Alex's guitar fades out at the end is beautiful, I always picture an eagle flying over a snow capped mountain on a clear day when I hear it!
Fantastic song and those deep in thought lyrics. Neil is not only a drummer extraordinaire he’s a masterclass at writing songs.
So many people are discovering Rush and feel exactly like you do. There's nothing now, nor then, that's anything like them. Neil's lyrics are mind blowing and Geddy sings them in the exact way they should be sung. Alex is a god, of course. They are a perfect trifecta. It brings me so much happiness to see them loved and appreciated by another generation, as much as we did throughout their journey from the beginning. 💙
Have seen every concert since power windows except the last one, missed they one. Never disappointed.
I think you meant "tours" and not "concerts" - or have you been to like 1500 shows?
@@BrakRulesAll saw the "tour" when they came to town. Like it matters.
@@leemiracle6840 No need to get testy - I thought you may have meant it literally, and if so I was gonna give you a virtual high-5. You get one anyways for hitting all those tours. Envioius!
The Pass by RUSH. Please react to The Pass
Great back to back songs
so glad you are doing more than the early rush . and doing there later stuff .
Life changing music? Very true.

Both are amazing, Camera Eye is almost 11mins, totally worth every minute. 🔥👍🔥👍
You can never overload on Rush music. Post away my man!
RUSH Army is present and prepared for duty!

Outstanding review.

Headlong Flight from the Clockwork Angels album is a masterpiece
The whole album is a masterpiece!
The drums in this are unlike any other song in the world.

This album goes down well with a nice whisky on rocks.
I would suggest Bravado live 2004 R30, Jacob's Ladder - Las Vegas 7/25/15, A Passage to Bangkok - Live in Rotterdam or Ghost of a Chance.
You go bro. Closer to the heart. Studio versions plus niel parts drum solos
I'm glad to see that you appreciate the fine lyrics as well as even better playing and the level of musicianship these guys definitely raise the bar for all of music but I was wondering if you had taken the time to find out who in the band writes all the lyrics for all the songs?
68 Rush shows from 11/77 in Reno thru the last show at The Forum 8/15...Still was not enough.

I’ve noticed a bunch of Presto album reactions in the past couple of weeks or so but not much before that.
Presto is in my Top 5 of Rush songs.
Wow, you're so right, Alex Lifeson is absolutely the most underrated guitarist out there!!
Totally!
Yes! Rush is good, more Rush is better.
✌️☝️☝️✌️
Alex is the reason I played guitar for 28 years now.
SAME!!!
Yup.. Ditto... Long live rush..
"This band makes music that will change your life and sounds like the soundtrack of your life" it's nice to hear someone new to rush say that. I say that but I've been a fan since single digits so like I am totally biased
😷RUSH-the TOTAL PACKAGE🤘🖖✌️🎸🥁🎹🎤
5 star song. Lifeson is absolutely the most underrated guitarist ever.
Absolutely find "Xanadu"....1977 from A Farewell to Kings...a masterpiece just after their incredible 2112 album.....Rush is just amazing.
Do Red Barchetta
Check the channel. Its on my Rush Rabbit Hole
@@TheAdventuresofTNT ok. Rush and Gojira rule
I’m always down for more Rush!

The Netflix special was awesome.
Hey T! I am happy that you took a chance on Rush. You should react to the Rush song Ghost of a Chance.
Grew up with them can't ask for better music than that
If you've ever contemplated suicide....listen to their song, The Pass.
It’s an AMAZING ANTIsuicide song.
Listen to “ Animate” it’s on Counterpoints”. One of their “ heavier and more crunchy , back to basics, “ albums, but Animate has an AMAZING groove too
I am so glad they finally decided to play this song live on the Snakes and Arrows tour. I really don't know why they did not play it on the Presto tour.
