I thought all this had been done before. You can never reach any conclusions where 2.gif fans are concerned. A lot of peeps prefer COS. And I know of one member who hates Hemispheres.

 

And since experiencing 'Hemispheres' (The tribute band) playing Fountain of Lamneth live, I realised just what a classic this is. COS has its own claim to fame.

 

Chacun a son gout as they say.

 

Power Windows v Presto - ditto.

This is a lot tougher for me. Both albums are just so good.

 

I think I'm going to have to go with Presto despite how much I love Mahatten Project, Marathon, Territories, Emotional Detector, damn I think I love all the ones on that cd...

 

but still I'm going to have to go with Presto. I got into Presto before I got into Power Windows so I guess thats maybe why.

 

I also think I like the tracks just a little bit better. I love Chain Lightening and Available light so much. Available Light just gives me so much hope, it just make me feel really optimistic. I love the lyrics to that song as well as Chain Lightening.

 

Show Don't Tell, Superconductor, and Hand over Fist are all real good ones one the album.

 

I also have a really soft spot for Anagram. I just think its amazing how they made an anagram in every single line of the song, that just amazes me. I remember when I found that out about the song I knew Rush was a one of a kind band! Whats really amazing is that the song in fact makes sense if you reason your way through it.

 

The Pass- perhaps the best song on the album- I'm not sure, but I love the lyrics to the song and the way it sounds is just amazing.

 

I love Power Windows but for me Presto is better by just a little bit.

I'm going to have to go with Power Windows. I would love to hear that album in complete surround sound. Plus, it's one of those albums that you just have to hear at maximum volume! 1022.gif

 

Presto is a good album, but a few of the songs just don't seem to evolve musically within the song as much as all the songs on Power Windows seem to do.

 

Both albums rock, though!

Presto. I prefer the scaled-down RUSH sound, when asked to choose. And Presto has some of Neil's best lyrics (and some of the weakest, I know). Love Middletown Dreams, though.

Power Windows was decent and so was Presto... but Presto I just got IN to... Power Windows it was skimming the borders.... they were both well made. Presto was their first release on an Atlantic label I believe and they were trying some new things.

 

 

Tie.

Power Windows may be the better album overall, since all the tracks are strong, but Presto is getting a lot of play at my house these days and is becoming a favorite. Presto may have more "filler" than Power Windows, but the strongest tracks on Presto beat the strongest tracks of PoW, in my opinion.

 

So it's a push for me...

That's a really tough decision. Power Windows and Presto both fall in my top-5 favorite albums. But if push came to shove, I suppose I'd have to go with Power Windows -- especially since Big Money is my favorite Rush song.

It's a tough choice. I like both of them. However, I thought the production on "Presto" was kind of lacking. It sounds compressed and distant. So I'm going with "Power Windows" on this one.

It's really a tough choice!

 

I'm going to go with Presto, for the simple fact that it has Available Light on it; that song is amazing.

 

Of course, so is Mystic Rhythms...

 

But, so is Red Tide!

 

Yeah, Presto it is!
