Digital Dad Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 CoS is vastly overrated by this board. I don't know why. Its ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 At this moment, I feel like I made a mistake. I love FBN, but aside from the excitement of finally getting its great worth, I still feel CoS is phenomenal, on another level... Changing my vote haha!

LedRush Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Caress of Steel is vastly underrated by this board, probably because the guitars scare the synth-crew. It remains my favorite album and easily beats out the excellent FBN. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It remains my favorite album and easily beats out the excellent FBN. I love the synth era. But the seventies was equally as brilliant. Rediscovered the joys of seventies Rush this last week! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DistantEarlySignals Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Fly By Night - 8/10Caress of Steel - 5/10 (nothing wrong with it, but they just have 18 better albums than it) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Analog Cub Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 FBN, simply cause it has more to enjoy. Both aren't favorites of mine, but FBN has their first 10/10 song in By-Tor, along with a few other cool tunes. Caress of Steel has Fountain of Lamneth but not much else that I'm a fan of. Love the production and the sound, but the songs don't do it for me, unfortunately. 2112 fixed that problem though :haz: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 FBN is my favorite, but I'd give both of them solid 9's. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) Fly By Night is the first Rush album I ever heard, in 1975. :heart: I loved the hard rock of Anthem, Beneath, Between and Behind, Best I Can and I love Geddy's voice on Fly By Night; I've always thought Making Memories was underrated as well. At this point in my life I can't separate the music from the memories and it's a big favorite. I was kind of surprised when Ged was on That Metal Show and rated it his least favorite out of the ten albums they put up from the Mercury era. Big love for CoS as well, especially Bastille Day, Lakeside Park and Fountain of Lamneth; but I'll always like FBN better.

LittleRushmonkey Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I would have to say FBN since I've never really listened to CoS except Bastille day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'm not a huge FBN fan and CoS is almost perfect. Easy choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnEggplant Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Aw man, I love them both so much. I'd give Fly By Night a 9, but Caress is a 10, so it gets my vote. I LOVE both though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tx_rush Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Too close...both are 9/10... CoS by a hair. This sums up my feelings perfectly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 COS for me. FBN 8/10COS 10/10 I'd take COS over any album (except it's pretty much a coin flip for me between that and Hemispheres, but if I had to chose, I'd go with COS). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) I like the fact that FBN is getting a lot of love! I need to revisit the debut...Rush seventies era is all of a sudden hitting me hard, and I am talking about crazy seventies Springsteen levels of hardcore devotion, hard... Must revisit the debut again. And side two of 2112 in isolation. Absolutely incredible! Currently my fourth favourite seventies album run: 1. Springsteen2. Yes3. Kansas4. Rush5.

Relayer2112 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Although I think it was necessary as a stepping stone for what was to come, CoS was a largely misguided effort by the band. I listen to it from time to time and don't dislike it, but can't help but wonder what they were smoking at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
