I mean... Subdivisions is kinda good?
He's pissed that they wrote a whole song about trees but almost nothing about flowers.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]

πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
- GPrime85
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

MODERATORS
When you find out the tree song is actually critical of the maples for wanting as much light as the oaks, and then they finally have equality when they all get fucking killed by what amounts to an alien using one of their corpses.
And that's my second favorite song. First is Working Man because it sounds like Sludge at half speed.
Can't relate
My gf got me a ticket to see them on tour next year for my gift last Christmas. I can't imagine there'll be many other girls in their 20s going on their own but I'll enjoy it either way
There might be! Rush has huge fan base and with the addition of Anika Nilles it seems like they're still ready to make music so the fanbase won't be shrinking. Enjoy the show!
Bob just has bad taste.
I had a fuckin great time at rush. I took my dad and we had a ball. He bought us T-Shirts and beer.
2112 is still a banger but it's hard to deny that for the most part, it's rock music that has been aggressively bled dry of all sexiness.
Exactly! Itβs rock for when I want to do things.
I'm not things. :)
Username does not check out
Double exactly! When I want to do people, I listen to Ween, like a civilized person.
I must go
Leeeetttt meeee liiiick your puuuussay.
I have it on good authority the lead singer is a male prostitute
I really, really know one of their songs thanks to Guitar hero. YYZ goes hard, but I don't really listen to any Rush either.
"Tom Sawyer" is aight, "Closer to the Heart" is au fromage but a fun chorus and ...
Yeah I don't listen to any Rush.
Have you heard headlong flight? It's heavy and really fun. Most of clockwork angels was really great. I'm glad they played a couple songs off it at the concert.
every single rush album is different and a banger. Great to the end
Au fromage? To the cheese..?
Yes, like a moth to a flame, political Rush is pulled to cheese.
Erm wat
KINDA good?? Subdivisions is INCREDIBLE.
Maybe I'm biased cuz I love to play the bass and keyboard parts while pretending I can sing, embracing my inner Geddy a bit
Philistine.
Heresy! Rush is one of the greatest bands of all time.
What about the voice of Geddy Lee? How did it get so high? I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy?
I can't be the only one who hates Geddy Lee's voice. Every time a Rush song comes on I am straight up grooving until he starts singing.
I'm there with you. It's not a knock on his abilities, it's just that the tone feels so grating to me, even though tons of other people like it.
Geddy Lee: The Cilantro of Prog Rock?
Great keyboardist, great bassist, that voice is not for me. I'd love Rush if they only did instrumentals
I used to have the same feeling about Stevie Nicks and any of her solo or Fleetwood Mac stuff. I've come around to her myself, but i get it
I know him! And he does
And youβre my fact-checkinβ cuz
there's several interviews, and he sounds quite normal
I got exactly this in a Dream Theater concert after listening to all their albums a lot.
The squealing falsetto is just the absolute worst. I'd like to be able to like Rush, they have a lot going for them, but they are cursed with Geddy Lee's voice. I think of Rush like the scene from Basic Instinct: "This sex would be pretty awesome if I wasn't getting stabbed with this icepick"
