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
can't tell if serious

Even Anagram for Mongo sounds like it's part of a whole album statement. 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.

I like the imagery because it's a comment on appearances, and putting up a façade. The album narrative is about concealment, artifice and underlying troubles.
Paper beats rock because it HIDES the rock. I don't know, maybe that's silly, but I dig it.

No way. When he misses, he misses big. When he hits, he nails it.

Then why did you mention the lyrics? You are the one who brought them up, right?
