TheAccountant Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Grace Under Pressure is an excellent album but I like Power Windows even more. Voted for Power Windows - but thats a compliment to Power Windows, not a knock on Grace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I went with Grace Under Pressure. To me Power Windows sounds too over produced specially with the keyboards.   :finbar: this is how I see it!  Distant Early Warnings = The Big MoneyAfterimage > Grand DesignRed Sector A > Manhattan ProjectThe Enemy Within < MarathonThe Body Electric < TerritoriesKid Gloves = Middletown DreamsRed Lenses > Emotion DetectorBetween the Wheels > Mystic Rhythms So you see GUP wins out by two points. But I Love them both pretty much the same! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
len(songs) Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) DEW > The Big MoneyAfterimage < Grand DesignsRed Sector A < Manhattan ProjectThe Enemy Within = MarathonThe Body Electric = TerritoriesKid Gloves < Middletown DreamsRed Lenses > Emotion DetectorBetween The Wheels > Mystic Rhythms If you put it this way, they're equal. But if you look at my rankings P/G is #4 while PoW is #6, so I'm going by that. Edited September 1, 2014 by len(songs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I chose Power Windows, but like others have posted it's such a close call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas King Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Marathon is my fave song from either album, but P/G is just overall stronger to my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Changed my vote, and I was surprised that I had voted for Power Windows. I guess that shows how well these albums match up. Right now, here's how I'd rank them track by track... DEW > Big MoneyAfterimage = Grand DesignsRed Sector A > Manhattan ProjectEnemy Within > MarathonBody Electric > TerritoriesKid Gloves = Middletown DreamsRed Lenses < Emotion DetectorBetween the Wheels < Mystic Rhythms GUP wins 6-4 in a split decision.

Entre_Perpetuo Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 P/G has weak production and a couple of slightly shoddy tracks. PoW is consistently awesome, every track holding to the same high standard, and the production is miles ahead of GuP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenJennings Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 PW is my least favorite of the 80s albums. P/G is terrific. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Of the five best songs from both albums, p/g has four DEW, TEW, MP, RSA, Afterimage p/g wins easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek19 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 I find this to be similar like comparing "Signals", and "Grace Under Pressure". Both c.ds, and albums shouldn't have to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClashWho Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Four of my top twenty Rush songs are on Power Windows (Manhattan Project, Marathon, Mystic Rhythms, Big Money). None are on Grace Under Pressure (Distant Early Warning comes closest). Easy call for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
