mgsjesse Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Clockwork Angels. I just love concept albums so much and it just works well in every way, to me, it was a great combination of old Rush in the more prog rock days but also with a more new sound. And it has some of my favorite songs they've ever written on it especially in regards to the lyrics, Caravan, The Garden, etc. Also, I love how the album still works even if you don't care for the story, it still manages to have plenty of memorable lyrics and instrumentals. Although, Snakes & Arrows and Vapor Trails are still fairly close for me, both are great as well imo.

LedRush Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 1) Counterparts2) Clockwork Angels3) Snakes & Arrows4) Test for Echo5) Presto6) Vapor Trails7) Roll the Bones8) Feedback That explains many of your choices on the "this or that" threads. I always go to Counterparts or S&A when I'm stuck on getting someone to choose another "worse" song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 1. Clockwork Angels (great concept, improved sound, excellent songs all the way through)2. Test for Echo (very good songs in the new and improved post 80s sound)3. Roll the Bones (landmark comeback after a string of records with diminishing returns)4. Vapor Trails (kick assedry and the band's best lyrics in forever)5. Presto (the sound is moving in the right direction, but the songs are a mixed bag)6. Snakes and Arrows (excellent sound, but 4 excellent songs are mixed in with a bunch of mid-tempo snoozefests)7. Feedback (a good collection of songs, but they're just covers)8. Counterparts (Rush's worst album by far-a great return to sound can't save Rush's worst lyrics (Neil doesn't do relationships for a reason), and worst collection of songs).

puffyshirt Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Clockwork Angels is best, Test For Echo is worst. Dont really know exact order in between though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x1yyz Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Clockwork Angels, hands down. It's an incredible combination of lyrics, musicianship, and songwriting. It's a return to the proggy sound and epic tales that I loved from "old" Rush, but done in a modern, updated, fashion. Plus the record has infinitely more balls to it than Presto or RtB. I will never listen to Feedback. I hate blues music, and while I acknowledge that it has been a major influence on Rush, that doesn't make me like it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Vapor Trails and Presto are my top 2. S &A and Counterparts next. Clockwork, Feedback, RTB and T4E finish out the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 CA, and it's not close. Their best album since PoW, and maybe even P/G, by a mile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Mountain Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 CA, and it's not close. Their best album since PoW, and maybe even P/G, by a mile.x2 Rick. To me its up there at the top by a mile. IMO it holds its own against all Rush albums. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusicalAbby2112 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I can't decide between CA and VT. The new remixed version sounds heavenly and they are both just amazing beyond words! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 For some reason I just love S&A the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
