Red3angel Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Presto to me is their most stand alone unique album, it’s definitely 80s. Seems related to PW somehow. Alex style is different on it. It almost makes my to 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeson90 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Nothing is more uniquely Rush than Hemispheres, but you could say that about Waves and just about every other album apart from maybe the first I'll still go for Hemispheres though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Most unique? Could be GuP, maybe VT. RTB is rather unique in how much it sucks. :P 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taurus Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Rush - obvious reason - no NeilFBN - doesn't really have that "sister record" ala Cos/2112 AFTK/Hem PeW/MP Feedback - another obvious one 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red3angel Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 It has a simple clear crisp sound. I play it when I need to clear my palette. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Unique, as in not like any other Rush album, I'll go with HYF. Soft, easy listening AM radio-friendly, sterile-sounding, dominated by synths. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Either Presto, because of the shittiness of the music and entire songs devoted to trivia or Snakes for the turgidness (turgidity?) of the lyrics combined with the dirgidity (or is it dirgelike?) nature of the music?

Rush1978 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Did somebody say Presto is "shittiness"? Presto is one of the best albums ever made more like it Just like every RUSH Album Most Unique album Permanent Waves in my opinion And Presto Edited March 17, 2018 by Rush1978 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexMike Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Vapor Trails - not a single guitar solo from Alex. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day of Light Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I'd say Caress of Steel was very unique. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That One Guy Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Clockwork Angels was a concept album that had its first two singles released and toured nearly two years before the entire album released. That's kinda unique. A decent individual case could probably be made for half their albums. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apetersvt Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Ill go with VT. Debut would be my 2nd choice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soft, easy listening AM radio-friendly, sterile-sounding, dominated by synths.Yeah good point, as unique to rush a different thing - In which case i'd go forrr.. ... Is actually quite hard.. Can see the HYF reasoning I'll go for COS though. Has a feel & tempo all to itself Yeah, turned out quite simple really. Defo COS, hands down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. JD Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Vapor Trails. Hands down. It seemed like they were trying to “fit in” to the general soundscape of rock music of that time. Definitely not their style. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 FBN - doesn't really have that "sister record" I always saw CoS as its "sister record". vibe-wise...Bastille Day = AnthemLakeside = In The End/Making Memories And, of course, you have the ByTor saga parts 1 & 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pressure/Hopenosis Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Power Windows is a musical fusion full of flavors. There is so much going on it's almost jazzy in it's musical execution. A "soundscape" if you will. I was absolutely hooked when it came out and I still love it today... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas King Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Presto. I barely recognized Rush on that album. Vapor Trails would be second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought about it before, but there are no cover songs on any Rush album, other than Feedback...and parts of Signals. :P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
