GabesCavesOfIce Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Thanks for the multi-select. I clicked on all of the above. Worst Rush album by far. My kind of guy!You'd think people on The Rush Forum would have listened to Presto at least once... At least Presto was an attempt to get back to a Rock format. Reintroduced us to Mr Lifeson. But as someone cleverly said on TRF recently, they were so far down the synth rabbit hole, Geddy needed three albums and some swimmies to get back into the hard rock sound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) As I have readily admitted I never even heard this album until about a year ago and would have sh*t all over it back then but I really don't get all the dislike for it. In my view if you take the last two off ( an 8 song album is more than enough) and discard them its every bit as good as Power Windows... :)And therein lies the difficulty. Power Windows stinks too. I am obviously an old school fan and much much prefer the 74' - 80'ish era but I can appreciate much of the 80's music even though it is way different stylistically for sure... :) Edited April 4, 2015 by Narpsberg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its what we lost during that time, and arguably never got back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just happen to not like every single song on an album sounding the same. You can hardly get more eighties than The Police, and you don't like them, right? On the other hand, maybe I am not a TrueRushFan since I am not willing to sell a kidney or to drop everything in order to go see them this last tour.

I can enjoy some of The Police music because it was hard to avoid back in the day. I wouldn't call myself a fan though no. As far as not liking every single song we agree because I certainly don't either... :) Edited April 4, 2015 by Narpsberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 I'll leave this open until noon my time, then onto Presto. Tai Shan seems to be winning the race to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombstone Mountain Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) If Tai Shan is an error, Time Stand Still is a colossal mistake. My God that song is a WTF moment! Tai Shan, High Water, TSS, is left off would have made a great record. Clockwork Angels proved their balls are definately intact. Bat Day at Yankee Stadium colossal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGPIKosXDmI Edited April 4, 2015 by Tombstone Mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
