Hm, one f the most lightweight, forgettable albums I've ever listened through versus...

 

A surprising second critical masterpiece by a formerly great band.

 

Danger baby.

Danger baby.

And Bones STILL has nearly twice as many votes!

 

 

It's not them, it's me.

Typical Rush Forum bias

Yup, I know. That's why options in polls should be chosen carefully if you want a decent battle.

The last time Bones got beat it took Pearl Jam's Ten to do it!...and it only won by one vote!

U2's successful reboot versus an album at one of Rush's lowest points, creatively... I choose Achtung

 

Hell, I coincidentally listened to two tracks off Achtung today.

For me, Ghost of a Chance would be between lower middle tier and upper middle tier...middle middle tier? :P

 

Also, You Bet Your Life needs to be lower than the bottom tier...The Ninth Circle of Hell: "Treachery" !!! :P

It's okay, not great if you ask me. Another band might've done it more appealingly.
