No way! I just like half the album a lot...and a couple of songs just do little for me. But the stuff I enjoy I REALLY enjoy, particularly the first five songs plus instrumentals.

I'd say those are the best, but the Wreckers is killer to me too. I love them all though.

A Farewell to Kings / Hemispheres / Permanent Waves: utter flawless majesty

 

Caress of Steel / 2112 / Moving Pictures / Signals / Clockwork Angels: slightly flawed glittering priceless gems

 

Rush / Fly By Night / Grace Under Pressure / Counterparts: fun, rocking, but not consistently jaw-droppingly glorious (By-Tor notwithstanding)

 

Power Windows / Vapor Trails / Snakes & Arrows: Bit o' life - enjoyable listens but occasionally too ponderous, synthy, noisy, or plodding

 

Hold Your Fire / Presto / Roll the Bones / Test for Echo: requiring the most effort - I wait for moments of hints of past glory, but too often heave deep sighs of regret
