Texas King Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Rate this album and say your top 3 key tracks off it. This is my fave Rush album from the synth era, so I give it very strong 4 stars.3 key tracks for me: Afterimage, Between the Wheels, Red Sector A.

Narps Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) The last great one and the last one I bought. It's stood the test of time in my view. It's not my favorite Rush stylistically but it's still damn excellent... Edited January 1, 2017 by Narps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Its got one song I would rank as a 5 star song (Distant Early Warning) and 4 songs I would give a 4 star ranking to (Afterimage, Between the Wheels, The Enemy Within & Red Sector A). To be fair, the first 3 are strong 4 star rankings. Red Sector A used to be but it has fallen with me and is now barely a 4 star song - its almost a 3 star song. Still, not a bad song - heck no!! Unfortunately it also has Kid Gloves, The Body Electric & Red Lenses. Those songs are not anything special (2 or 3 star rankings) and that pulls the album down a bit. Still,the good material is so good that it more then compensates for the weaker songs. Overall, it's a 4 star album - the good material is that good.

Cyclonus X-1 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 4 stars. It could've been 5 if The Body Electric and Red Lenses were any good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexMike Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Classic album, one of their last IMO. I'd give it 4 and 1/2 if that were an option. It's not quite a 5, so 4 stars it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Four Stars Rush had ditched the kimono's, double-neck guitars: loosened up the vibe and embraced the technology. You cannot believe how good this record sounded back in 1983. key tracks:Distant Early WarningThe Enemy WithinBetween The Wheels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedRush Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) 3 stars I hated this album at first, and it stopped me from moving on with my Rush fandom for a few years. I've grown to love Afterimage, TBE, and the Enemy Within, but this is still a weak Rush album. Alas, the next 2 get worse.

toddlimelight Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Sorry dudes, only 2 stars. I think the production sounds weak. The look, feel, gay inside photo of the three (it looks like a cheezy family portrait). Best song is Red Sector A, Body Electric is OK...the other songs sound like filler...then there's Kid Gloves and Red Lenses, yuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddysMullet Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 It's a dark masterpiece. Some of the songs I don't like as much as others, but as a cohesive work that creates an overall atmosphere I think it succeeds brilliantly. Although I don't listen to it nearly as often as the GUP Live recording, when I'm in the mood for it I find it incredibly satisfying. 4.5 rounded up.
