Here’s what our house elf, Artie, says about this episode. 

This episode discusses the Rush song “Nobody’s Hero.” We provide a detailed analysis of various song elements, including its sequencing on the album, its musical complexity, and the quality of Geddy’s vocals. We debate the placement and effect of other songs, discuss their impact on the overall album, and recommend sequencing changes. Further, we delve into the specific musical elements and instruments used, such as the synths, perhaps a French horn, and strings. A notable highlight is the discussion on the role and sound of the French horn and its use in other songs by different artists. The hosts also mention their personal preferences for Rush songs.
