Bigbobby10 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Counterparts is a really good album, almost every song is good. Cant say the same with RTB, though I do like the songs more on RTB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddy's Soul Patch Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 These are two very evenly ranked albums for me. Super tough choice, but my gut was telling me to pick RTB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexMike Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 This one is soooo not close. CP demolishes RTB and not just in terms of sound. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Not even close. Counterparts is awesome. Dreamline is awesome. The rest of Roll The Bones is not. In fact, it's mostly awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YYZumbi Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Nothing wrong with Roll The Bones, but Counterparts is probably Rush best 90s album! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Nothing wrong with Roll The Bones, but Counterparts is probably Rush best 90s album! This. ^ I love Roll the Bones; I really love it. But with Counterparts they started taking some risks that they hadn't taken for some time, and it worked more often than not. I think it's a bit better, overall.

Segue Myles Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Counterparts for sound.Roll The Bones for the songs. I actually think I could agree with this! My opinion on RTB songs changes when I hear them played live! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Presto is better than both of these by a wide margin! But lately, I have grown to really love Counterparts. Odd: the more I enjoy Counterparts, the better Stick It Out sounds (still hate it), and the worse Speed Of Love becomes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedRush Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Counterparts has the highest concentration of Rush's worst music and worst lyrics of any Rush album, easily. It has great sound, but fails in almost every way as an album. RTB has a thin sound, but was still a turn torwards guitar oriented songs which has much appreciated after the long slide Rush was on previous to RTB. RTB brought out the great songs for the first time in years, and there's a reason it is the band's last platinum seller, and the only album after MP to sell appreciably more than the previous.

LedRush Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Animate <<< Dreamline (Animate is a good song, but Dreamline is a classic which reached out to the public for the first time in several years. Stick It Out <<<<<<<< Bravado (Potentially Rush's worst song vs. a quite good one)Cut To The Chase << Roll The Bones (CTTC is ok, but RTB is more fun, engaging, and powerful)Nobody's Hero >> Face Up (CP gets it's first victory with a good, though overly preachy, song)Between Sun & Moon < The Big Wheel (TBW is good enough to eke out a win here)Alien Shore < Heresy (Heresy is preachy, but at least it works as a song)The Speed of Love <<<<<<<<<<<< Ghost of a Chance (Another contender for Rush's worst song up against another classic which fans and the public enjoy)Double Agent < Neurotica (Neurotica is silly, but at least it isn't garbage)Everyday Glory = You Bet Your LifeLeave That Thing Alone = Where's My Thing?

Otherwise, couldn't disagree more and sorry, but hearing the song RTB called "powerful" made me . But you actually gave CP more props than I thought you would, which is cool. And I would say that live DL IS better than live Animate. But album wise, it's the reverse. I find studio DL weak while the studio Animate is great and has much more energy than any live version I heard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
