RusH is composed of 3 compulsive perfectionist, and genuine good people that do not have any the ego trips that have lead to the demise of many successful bands. Truly GREAT musicians that are also truly great friends.... Resulting in some of the cleanest, tightest most amazing music ever made.
I mostly agree with the common 'less is more' in music but Rush is an exception. Technical music is not very interesting to me but Rush are just that and they keep it VERY interesting.

I am so glad that you have been giving your thoughts to the music of Rush, your opinions and expertise is much appreciated You have an open mind and that is what we all need in this world. Rush music will only make you feel smarter and more understanding of life Good job young fella
That song is an adventure, I've been listening to Rush since the mid 80's when my friend across the street from me let me hear one of their tracks, in all those years i've been a Rush fan.
One of my favourites from these guys. I borrowed this record (yes, record) when I was around 13 or 14. I put it on, in my room, while sitting on the floor and just listening. I wanted to hear the album for other songs I knew, but when this came on to finish the album...whoa. When Hyperspace came in...look, seriously, I haven't been the same since. That's all there is to it.
Dude your reactions are awesome try RUSH Cygnus X 1 and Cygnus X 1 book 2 its two different albums (yes I know Im showing my age but) one is from A Farewell To Kings the second is from Hemispheres. If you liked all the other RUSH tunes you" love this trip. Niel tells a story long before its time. Feel free to ask me more luv ya dude keep up the good (positive) work!!
As soon as I saw the title of this video, I knew that song would blow you away. Check out "Montrose - Space Station #5" when you get a chance. Great vids btw.
Personally I like the Cleveland show version the best. Alex on that beautiful guitar, a master of tone, riffing through the Strangiato solo with undertones of Xanadu. Amazing!
This is so awesome, brings a happy tear to my eye. Having been a HUGE Rush fan since the early 80s...I KNOW all this stuff already, listened to it over and over and over and over, been to many live shows. Seeing people like you, discovering them and realizing their mastery...makes me happy!
💥THE GIRL WHO LISTENED TO RUSH💥 From the back of the stadium She’s easy to see Standing up at the stage In her Starman tee From Anthem to Limelight To YYZ She’s the girl who listened to Rush And all of the rockers And all of the heshers Well they dreamed of the day That they might get her And drive her away In a Red Barchetta She’s the girl who listened to Rush Philosophers and ploughmen They can’t resist her call They cannot choose Not to decide So they've got no choice at all They've gotta love her No she doesn’t say "Pert" And she doesn’t say "Part" Yeah, she knows it’s "Neil Peert" ‘Cause he’s close to her heart Say a prayer for John Rutsey He was there at the start She’s the girl who listened to Rush Philosophers and ploughmen They can’t resist her call They cannot choose Not to decide So they've got no choice at all They've gotta love her Why don’t girls ever listen to Rush? (X a lot) But she listened to Rush! The blacksmith and the artist They can’t resist her call You cannot choose Not to decide So you’ve got no choice at all No you’ve got no choice at all You’ve gotta love her!
“We can walk our road together, if our goals are all the same. We can run alone and free, if we pursue a different aim. Let the truth of love be lighted! Let the love of truth shine clear! Sensibility, armed with sense and liberty, with the heart and mind united in a single perfect sphere.”
Yes, and have you noticed how he treats the honest man, e.g. experts from the CDC who tell him what's demonstrably true instead telling him what he wants to hear?
Left speechless. Neil's lyrics tend to do that. He may be considered the best drummer in the world, but people underestimate how impressive his lyrics are. I feel sorry for the people that tuned them out in the 80's since they missed out on some of Neil's best works!
My first Rush experience was in 1978. By accident. 43 years and 25 concerts later. Magic. Seeing Natural Science live cannot be put in to words. This reaction is similar to the first time hearing this song. This and LaVilla Strangiato never get old.
When I was a teenager (in the 80s) and all my friends were listening to Rush, I never really liked or appreciated it. Now, I appreciate their greatness and I realize how far ahead of their time they were. Great musicians and unbelievable song writers. Nothing else (at that time) sounded like this. They blazed their own trail. The complicated time signatures, the multiple-transitions, super technical playing, thought-provoking lyrics...true masters and one of the Godfathers of Progressive music.
I wish you could hear this on vinyl. I fell in love with Rush when I first found them in 1988. Of their entire catalogue, this is my favorite. Natural Science is THE song for me. Excellent selection. ❤️
@@joconnell8145 I love that one too, but I feel like this one is not only poetic but also very meaningful. Anagram is great, but it feels like it's more of a play on words than a existential lesson.
@@Efferri Agreed...a LOT of his lyrics are SOOOO powerful, with very deep meaning. As somewhat of a wordsmith I just love what he does with words on anagram.
Neil saw the disaster that has now befallen America a long time ago. One of the reason he denounced organized religion, racism and the Republican party over and over again. Hard for me to respect Neil more than I already do.
This song is just filled with amazing drum parts, amazing guitar riffs and solos, and bass licks. I will never forget this band. Neil Peart is always kicking but on these songs.
Jamel is the best. As a life long drummer, Rush fan and Peart aficionado, the face he makes after an insane drum fill, guitar solo or bassline is pure gold
One of my favorites. Judging by your facial expressions, I think you were digging it. I’m enjoying your videos. Thank you for taking the time to listen to and to explore my favorite band.
After listening to this song for now 40 years, and with Neil gone, I now realize how much his contribution to the success of this band was in making their music complex and timeless. Rest in Paradise Professor
RIP Neil Peart 1952-2020 💥THE GIRL WHO LISTENED TO RUSH💥 From the back of the stadium She’s easy to see Standing up at the stage In her Starman tee From Anthem to Limelight To YYZ She’s the girl who listened to Rush And all of the rockers And all of the heshers Well they dreamed of the day That they might get her And drive her away In a Red Barchetta She’s the girl who listened to Rush Philosophers and ploughmen They can’t resist her call They cannot choose Not to decide So they've got no choice at all They've gotta love her No she doesn’t say "Pert" And she doesn’t say "Part" Yeah, she knows it’s "Neil Peert" ‘Cause he’s close to her heart Say a prayer for John Rutsey He was there at the start She’s the girl who listened to Rush Philosophers and ploughmen They can’t resist her call They cannot choose Not to decide So they've got no choice at all They've gotta love her Why don’t girls ever listen to Rush?

5:10, that look... ;0 "you got MASTAHED!!" ;0 didn't you?? ;) p.s. out of all their tracks, this might be my one end-all favorite of theirs... so fast on the hi-hat (probably the fastest "by-hand" track ever! sure sounds like it)... so atmospheric; outdoors and "inner-space" sounding; so complex and 'outer-space' in composition, like cygnus/hemispheres... yet a compact ten-or-so mins... COSMIC WAVES!
Every Rush song is a virtual baptism by fire - you’re enveloped by the music and lyrics - and a Higher state of Mind is gained. I’ve been sooo blessed to have grown up with them; they’ve been a source of inspiration through good and bad, and have helped strengthen my belief in Hope & Love above all things. God bless you brother for discovering their music, and for being moved by greatness.
Matt King If there’s was a first time listener looking for requests, I would probably start them off with the whole Moving Pictures album, and then go into, 2112, Permanent Waves, Hemispheres, A Farewell To Kings, etc. I agree, you always have to “dive right in” with Rush, because they have so many different albums that span many different genres.
Just so you know. The drummer, who happens to be legendary, also wrote most of the lyrics to most of their music, if not all. Dependent on the era of the bands formation. Neal created some of the most technically complex drum parts of any band on the face of the planet. As a drummer, and speaking for others of my ilk, he is the gold standard for becoming technically proficient in your playing. I have studied his methods for over thirty years and still cant play everything he did. I have a suspicion he had a hidden arm only he could see haha.
Rush are simply the best at their craft! They have such tasty riffs and complex structures that still sound appealing to the ear. Not one song sounds like the other, yet it still sounds like Rush!
I think this is my favorite of their prog rock epics. It's lyrically sharp, it's complex, and it's all well composed and arranged. All of the parts are exciting and fun individually, but they also fit together into a coherent whole.
Used to have the constant “Rush VS Zeppelin” argument with my brother all the time. Don’t get me wrong, Zeppelin was good, but Rush was light years ahead of them in terms of complexity and creativeness. I’ll put up 2112 against Led Zeppelin II any time and 2112 will win every time!
You’re not wrong, I also love Zeppelin and they were amazing. BUT, Rush were in ever way better musicians. They have their bluesy jams, they had a lot of versatility and live, they were kings.
Rush are my all time favorite band! Three people did all that! They were so amazing live! They are intelligent, they rock, they are great role models, and they are incredible musicians and song writers. I could go on all day, I have seen them so many times I lost count. My first Rush concert was the Hemispheres tour 1978-79. They retired but I have great memories and their music is still the soundtrack to my life.
I laugh because I remember when I used to get weird stares for years and years when I jammed out in my car listening to Rush. Now people are finally getting it. The obligatory drumming on the steering wheel.....
I love all Rush but this masterpiece is my FAVORITE Rush song of all time! Glad you got to jam out with it. EPIC masters at the top of their art. Rush simply astounds with their musicality!
I tend to get a lot of comments from men when I wear my R40 (40th anniversary tour) t-shirt. Like, 'Woman don't like Rush!' or 'Did you borrow your boyfriends t-shirt?' I won't ever where a Concert Tour t-shirt if I didn't see it. Being a Poet, I love Neil's lyrics and the presentation and musicality are on point!
Please listen and respond to 2112 , it’s 21 minutes of sensory overload experience. This tune set them apart from the rest of the performers in the 70s, and launched them great tune about individuality
@Jamel_AKA_Jamal... Brother, it has come to my attention that you are enjoying these Rush videos/songs entirely too much... "We have assumed control...!!!"...Rush, from 2112 album. Your hooked...!!! Enjoy the ride...!!!
Somewhere is Time is a good choice. I think a better starting point might be Rime of the Ancient Mariner or Where Eagles Dare. And, of course, Hallowed Be Thy Name.
All I can say is "I know, right?" I saw these guys in concert for many tours, then all of a sudden they started playing Natural Science. Eyes wide, I looked around me. "Natural Science!" I yelled, to no one, as goosebumps covered me from head to toe. You think these songs are amazing? Me, too. But they are an Experience, live. Nearly transcendent .
The chemistry of this band was absolutely astonishing. Geddy on the bass, foot pedals and synthesizer, The vast talent and tone of Alex’s guitar and the sheer, raw God given talent of the monster Neil Peart was a privilege to witness. I fucking miss these musicians’ferocity on their instruments. Thank you God almighty for gracing us with them.
Fun fact: this was pre-technology,so to get the echo of the waves and voice,they actually rowed a boat out onto a lake and recorded it. That's mostly natural echo,with a slight bit of studio enhancement.
@ david p Been a Rush FIEND for many, many years, and love all they have done, while turning the rock world on its ear... but Entre Nous is my all-time favorite Rush song.
Rush is a thinking person's band. Masters of their craft.
RusH is composed of 3 compulsive perfectionist, and genuine good people that do not have any the ego trips that have lead to the demise of many successful bands.
Truly GREAT musicians that are also truly great friends.... Resulting in some of the cleanest, tightest most amazing music ever made.
Nick, very well said. I've seen them 27 times and every show was great and I wish I could see them again. Great, great band.
@@timdaly5831 Thank you sir.
Don't forget the women of Rush! I have never been lucky enough to meet one, but they are out there!
then again im just thinking "wow" .. or "nice" .. nothing more really 😅
Geddy Lee had a quote about their philosophy of music. "Some people believe less is more. We disagree, we think more is more.
I mostly agree with the common 'less is more' in music but Rush is an exception.
Technical music is not very interesting to me but Rush are just that and they keep it VERY interesting.
ALL of that big sound out of a 3 piece band!!!

welcome to RUSH!! THEY ARE SIMPLY THE BEST BAND EVER!!!!!!!
The best musicians in Rock and Roll, this isn't my favorite song, but it is amazing non the less.
I am so glad that you have been giving your thoughts to the music of Rush, your opinions and expertise is much appreciated
You have an open mind and that is what we all need in this world. Rush music will only make you feel smarter and more understanding of life
Good job young fella
That song is an adventure, I've been listening to Rush since the mid 80's when my friend across the street from me let me hear one of their tracks, in all those years i've been a Rush fan.
Sadly most of this generation is missing out on not only good, deep, and epic music but real music.
love sharing those moments with you
Watching you react to this was a true joy.
One of my favourites from these guys. I borrowed this record (yes, record) when I was around 13 or 14. I put it on, in my room, while sitting on the floor and just listening.

That's all there is to it.
I love Jamal's reactions.
Stairway To Heaven for nerds 🤓
James Mason That is fucking PERFECT!
Great song though 👌
I’ve always considered Xanadu their stairway to heaven. Except it’s a better song IMO.
Dude your reactions are awesome try RUSH Cygnus X 1 and Cygnus X 1 book 2 its two different albums (yes I know Im showing my age but) one is from A Farewell To Kings the second is from Hemispheres. If you liked all the other RUSH tunes you" love this trip. Niel tells a story long before its time. Feel free to ask me more luv ya dude keep up the good (positive) work!!

Great vids btw.
Cygnus X1 Book1 and Book2 are Required Listening
"The most endangered species:
The honest man"
One more person closer to extinction.
RIP Neil Peart.
That I think was who he was just the honest man brilliant at his craft but not seeking any ill gotten gains.....
Lloyd2112DT this literally made me shed a tear. Neil is the one who got me into the drums. I knew I wanted to play them once i was 2.
Fitting lyrics considering we have the most dishonest man America has ever seen residing in our White House.
I'm no Trump fan, but he's nowhere near the career politicians.
You are sooo right. He was my moral guiding light
Did I mention....
"LA VILLA STRANGIATO?"
I do believe so.... check it Cuz, it's long, but a masterpiece! You will not be disappointed
La Villa strangiato -live version from exit stage left
Personally I like the Cleveland show version the best. Alex on that beautiful guitar, a master of tone, riffing through the Strangiato solo with undertones of Xanadu. Amazing!
This is so awesome, brings a happy tear to my eye. Having been a HUGE Rush fan since the early 80s...I KNOW all this stuff already, listened to it over and over and over and over, been to many live shows. Seeing people like you, discovering them and realizing their mastery...makes me happy!
Progressive Rock feeds your MIND, as well as your senses.... enjoy the banquet!
RUSH rules the music world! Always have and always will.
💥THE GIRL WHO LISTENED TO RUSH💥
From the back of the stadium
She’s easy to see
Standing up at the stage
In her Starman tee
From Anthem to Limelight
To YYZ
She’s the girl who listened to Rush
And all of the rockers
And all of the heshers
Well they dreamed of the day
That they might get her
And drive her away
In a Red Barchetta
She’s the girl who listened to Rush
Philosophers and ploughmen
They can’t resist her call
They cannot choose
Not to decide
So they've got no choice at all
They've gotta love her
No she doesn’t say "Pert"
And she doesn’t say "Part"
Yeah, she knows it’s "Neil Peert"
‘Cause he’s close to her heart
Say a prayer for John Rutsey
He was there at the start
She’s the girl who listened to Rush
Philosophers and ploughmen
They can’t resist her call
They cannot choose
Not to decide
So they've got no choice at all
They've gotta love her
Why don’t girls ever listen to Rush? (X a lot)
But she listened to Rush!
The blacksmith and the artist
They can’t resist her call
You cannot choose
Not to decide
So you’ve got no choice at all
No you’ve got no choice at all
You’ve gotta love her!
I listen to Rush or Yes, when I need to feel a sense of hope. When things seem dark, it just grounds me and let’s me know in the end we’ll be okay.
Great bands
Same here!
yes, "In the End"...
My two favorites, great choices
“We can walk our road together, if our goals are all the same. We can run alone and free, if we pursue a different aim. Let the truth of love be lighted! Let the love of truth shine clear! Sensibility, armed with sense and liberty, with the heart and mind united in a single perfect sphere.”
Please take the time and react to 2112 full song. You won't be disappointed
I recommend the official recent(ish) graphic novel style video as it includes the lyrics and explains the context.
@@johncampbell756 nah do Peanuts Gang Singing "2112" by Garren Lazar rush put it on facebook they liked it so much
@@neotheone7923 It is fun, but gets really repetitive though.
"The most endangered species...the honest man" That brings a tear to my eye every time! We could use a lot of honest men in the world right now!
Docwho10th my thoughts exactly
10th Who Doctor was David Tennant, one of my favorites.
Fitting lyrics considering we have the most dishonest man America has ever seen residing in our White House.
Yes, and have you noticed how he treats the honest man, e.g. experts from the CDC who tell him what's demonstrably true instead telling him what he wants to hear?
2 years later, we still do!
Friend, you need to listen to Witch Hunt by Rush...do it man!
Yep!
Great lyrics, very modern-day social commentary.
Without question
What I love about Witch Hunt is how amazing it sounds, production-wise! It's just HUGE and epic! Great tune!
Awesome song, been one of my favorites since "Moving Pictures" first came out.
Permanent Waves by Rush was the album that changed music forever for me.
I personally believe it was Rush's best album
My second fav RUSH album and my first tour I saw them on.
There is no Moving Pictures without Permanent Waves
No that would be Fly By Night , first album with Neil Peart , Go back and listen to Bytor and The Snow Dog , you can literally hear what's coming :)
...same for me...back in 81...this track is so beautiful..it always makes me tear up...you did real good on this one,Mr Peart 🐝🌈💫
Left speechless. Neil's lyrics tend to do that. He may be considered the best drummer in the world, but people underestimate how impressive his lyrics are. I feel sorry for the people that tuned them out in the 80's since they missed out on some of Neil's best works!
Surfeit it’s one of those bands that are for intelligent listeners and they are definitely Musicians’s musicians
Geddy's singing gets criticim but hes the only one that can pull off what neil writes!!
I agree
Neil's later lyrics are his best by far imho. The Garden's lyrics are a tearjerker
They’ve been my favourite band for over 4 decades. Love seeing them through the eyes of someone just discovering them.
My first Rush experience was in 1978. By accident. 43 years and 25 concerts later. Magic. Seeing Natural Science live cannot be put in to words. This reaction is similar to the first time hearing this song. This and LaVilla Strangiato never get old.

"They ain't doin that in mumble rap." That killed me.
They ain't doing that in most genres either which is a shame.
I wish you could hear this on vinyl. I fell in love with Rush when I first found them in 1988. Of their entire catalogue, this is my favorite. Natural Science is THE song for me. Excellent selection. ❤️
Thanks Jamel, for listening to this RUSH masterpiece, Greetings from Costa Rica ... comments The garden de Rush.
To think no other band made music like this...where Neil the drummer wrote the lyrics and Geddy and Alex wrote the music. Greatest band ever assembled
One of my favorite Rush songs. But who am I kidding, they all are. EPIC.
Best Rush song lyrically in my opinion. So beyond their time.
I've always felt Anagram was Neil's best work.
@@joconnell8145 I love that one too, but I feel like this one is not only poetic but also very meaningful. Anagram is great, but it feels like it's more of a play on words than a existential lesson.

"These Lyrics are Amazing!" Blender proclaimed Neil Peart the worst lyricist in Rock and Roll. Obviously as a Rush fan, i disagree with Blender.
lazyidiotofthemonth Blender prefers to celebrate mindless lyrics that have meanings a five year old can easily understand.
Fuck blender!
Who the fuck is Blender? Never heard of em’ . . .
I guess that is why i never heard of blender. Sounds like they suck
When did they say that?
Man, it's awesome to watch someone react to Rush who loves great transitions!
Might I suggest "Xanadu"?
ruclips.net/video/nO1pmx__f8Q/видео.html
Enjoy!😊🤘
Xanadu has to be next
He will shit his pants on that one
The greatest drummer of all time wrote those lyrics :D:D
The greatest lyricist of all time played those drums :D:D
La villa strangiato may be their best song, Permanent waves IS their best album.
Totally agree.
I got into this song when I saw them live around '97. It was at the Gorge in George, WA. Seeing it live blew me away.
6:02 - "Never a good time to pause". Hilarious.
"Cygnus X-1" a very badass song! Lots of Bass! 😇 react to this song. Please!??
They are so awesome. Just as amazing are the sound effects on this. Terry Brown, their producer back then, was brilliant.
I’m tearing up for Neil Peart , thanks brother for reacting
Wow....this is a DEEP track from Rush.....I would have recommended some different tracks for a first time listener.
Every Rush song is a virtual baptism by fire - you’re enveloped by the music and lyrics - and a Higher state of Mind is gained.
I’ve been sooo blessed to have grown up with them; they’ve been a source of inspiration through good and bad, and have helped strengthen my belief in Hope & Love above all things.

Disagree! Gotta dive right in! Get that full Rush experience! I would have started him off with the entire 2112 album.

You’re not wrong, I also love Zeppelin and they were amazing. BUT, Rush were in ever way better musicians. They have their bluesy jams, they had a lot of versatility and live, they were kings.
The best songs they ever wrote which "pull you in" to a scene are Xanadu, Cygnus X1, The Trees. Check em out!
Rush has knocked it out of the park every time. Every time. They were perfection and genius. RIP Neal
"Lyrics" and pointed to his head. In other words he gets it.
This was their ultimate application of their epic concept songs from the 70’s into a more direct and shorter format. Genius.
One of my favorite Rush technical masterpieces!
Rush are my all time favorite band! Three people did all that! They were so amazing live! They are intelligent, they rock, they are great role models, and they are incredible musicians and song writers. I could go on all day, I have seen them so many times I lost count. My first Rush concert was the Hemispheres tour 1978-79. They retired but I have great memories and their music is still the soundtrack to my life.
Hard to believe this is 40 years old, I remember listening to this when I was a Senior in High School.
I laugh because I remember when I used to get weird stares for years and years when I jammed out in my car listening to Rush. Now people are finally getting it. The obligatory drumming on the steering wheel.....
This song is as relevant today as it was 40 years ago. Amazing that 3 dudes make all of that music! RIP Neil!
2112 is 20 minutes of genius.
This is a masterpiece of music and lyrical expression...some of their finest work
So cool you're checking them out RUSH on
I love all Rush but this masterpiece is my FAVORITE Rush song of all time! Glad you got to jam out with it. EPIC masters at the top of their art. Rush simply astounds with their musicality!
Peart was a masterful drummer and an incredible lyricist. R.I.P Legend.
Rush helped me through some of my difficult times in life. (40 years fan here)
I tend to get a lot of comments from men when I wear my R40 (40th anniversary tour) t-shirt. Like, 'Woman don't like Rush!' or 'Did you borrow your boyfriends t-shirt?' I won't ever where a Concert Tour t-shirt if I didn't see it. Being a Poet, I love Neil's lyrics and the presentation and musicality are on point!
Please listen and respond to 2112 , it’s 21 minutes of sensory overload experience. This tune set them apart from the rest of the performers in the 70s, and launched them great tune about individuality
The most endangered species, the honest man
@Jamel_AKA_Jamal... Brother, it has come to my attention that you are enjoying these Rush videos/songs entirely too much...
"We have assumed control...!!!"...Rush, from 2112 album.
Your hooked...!!! Enjoy the ride...!!!
Try some 'IRON MAIDEN'
you will not be disappointed I promise. Keep up the good work. 💪
I recommend 'Caught somewhere in time' 🔥🔥🔥
Somewhere is Time is a good choice. I think a better starting point might be Rime of the Ancient Mariner or Where Eagles Dare. And, of course, Hallowed Be Thy Name.
@@scottking7260 Hallowed Be Thy Name live from 1982 is the one!🙂
RUSH - GENIUS - GENIUS I TELL YA! I love it. Thanks, NATE for turning our man onto this. Awesome reaction!
The look on your face when Hyperspace begins. Then, as you move through the song. So perfect. You get it.
Now it’s time for Ronnie James dio, stargazer, heaven and hell, holy diver
Chris Davis were stars
Stair gazer yep👍
All I can say is "I know, right?" I saw these guys in concert for many tours, then all of a sudden they started playing Natural Science. Eyes wide, I looked around me. "Natural Science!" I yelled, to no one, as goosebumps covered me from head to toe. You think these songs are amazing? Me, too. But they are an Experience, live. Nearly transcendent .
The chemistry of this band was absolutely astonishing. Geddy on the bass, foot pedals and synthesizer, The vast talent and tone of Alex’s guitar and the sheer, raw God given talent of the monster Neil Peart was a privilege to witness. I fucking miss these musicians’ferocity on their instruments. Thank you God almighty for gracing us with them.
the musicianship is this song is ridiculous...can you imagine recording this "without" Pro Tools? (came out in 1980)....
Hey bro, please do a reaction to Rush's Distant Early Warning. Preferably the live concert from 2002.
The writing. The time spent. Always chasing the deep crags of darkness, then they shine the light. NO one is like RUSH.
Fun fact: this was pre-technology,so to get the echo of the waves and voice,they actually rowed a boat out onto a lake and recorded it. That's mostly natural echo,with a slight bit of studio enhancement.
Great reaction! This entire album is one of my favorites!
A few suggestions:
1) Rush - Xanadu
2) Yes - Roundabout
3) Pink Floyd - Echoes
4) Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
5) Tangerine Dream - Phaedra
6) Juan Gabriel - Inocente pobre amigo
Natural Science - Such an amazing microcosm of our society.
Think you got to check out Gentle Giant: Knots, In a glasss house, Talybont, Power of the glory...
Masterpiece, check out Queensryche also.
Heard this song a thousand times..... my face does the same thing every time I listen to it.
Entre Nous. The video with the picture of the sailing ship. You're welcome.
@ david p Been a Rush FIEND for many, many years, and love all they have done, while turning the rock world on its ear... but Entre Nous is my all-time favorite Rush song.
Their individual musicianship is unparalleled. They are absolute masters of their craft. They’re sublimely sophisticated.
One of my favorite reactions! Not one of their most popular but a masterpiece in it's own right. LOVE it!
