chemistry1973 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Presto has actually got a vote. Its a funny old world! That was me. I love Xanadu. That's it. I enjoy Presto much more. Maybe because it was my first Rush studio release (after I became a fan, purchasing ASOF) Available Light, Hand Over Fist, Show Me Don't Tell Me, The Pass - it's much more consistent record, though of course it doesn't have Cygnus or Xanadu ---But Presto also doen't include songs as cringe-worthy as Cinderella Man or Madrigal. I think my drumming sensibilities have something to do with it. I just like the way NP plays on Presto - and I love that Copeland-inspired drum sound. On AFTK, the toms sound muted and dull, and snare doesn't have that CRACK that I love on Presto. Of course I can't ignore how groundbreaking AFTK is, but it's Rush's Topographic Oceans Tormato to me. Great ideas that don't always cohere... Edited September 28, 2020 by chemistry1973 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presto is more of a Prog-work than AFTK. The songs are so disparate on that record. Xanadu is a masterpiece. Cygnus is awesome, but what about the other tracks? They're fun, but they're all different sounding song experiments. Edited September 28, 2020 by chemistry1973 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
