1. The Spirit of Radio

2. Freewill

3. Different Strings

4. Jacob's Ladder

5. Entre Nous

6. Natural Science

 

Really surprised that almost everyone else is placing "Different Strings" at #6. I think the song is awesomely beautiful. This is a difficult album to rate though. All six songs are incredible.

it's decent it's just the other songs are better.

I never listen to TSOR or FW when I hear it, it has sort of moved into I've heard it 2000 times, enough...unless live in person

anything radio has beaten to death regardless of artist, I skip ....

Still having Tom Sawyer is more liked than TCE nightmares from reading the MP thread, but I'll give it a go,

 

1. Natural Science

2. Jacobs Ladder

3. Freewill

4. Spirit of Radio

5. Entre Nous

6. Different Strings

 

Very tough to pick the last three. All good and not deserving of a low rank. Much much much superior to MP, like the dawn of a new decade with MP

Speaking studio album versions only. This ranking would be different if live versions were included.

6. Different Strings

Alright, we're twelve hours into the rankings and so far 26 users have ranked. If they were to end now, the final standings would look like this, with average rankings in parentheses:

 

1. Natural Science (2.11538)

2. The Spirit Of Radio (2.57692)

3. Freewill (2.88461)

4. Jacob's Ladder (3.46153)

5. Entre Nous (4.23076)

6. Different Strings (5.5000)

 

Some anecdotes:

 

-Different Strings was voted 6th a whopping 21 times out of 26, with the highest rank for the song being 2.

 

-Jacob's Ladder was the only song not to be voted last, but was only ranked in the top 3 ten times total.

 

78 hours left. Keep ranking.

Great idea, NS. I have the news on and it suddenly looks like today is going to be another day of great sadness for the US. Nice to have Rush and something else to concentrate on. . . . :(

3 police officers killed in some type of ambush in Baton Rouge, La. Not a lot of details out at this point. So sad though.

Another perfect Rush album IMHO so unfortunately something's got to be #6.

 

That's the thing about these albums that are so good front-to-back, like PeW and MP. For example, I'd love to put a song like Jacob's Ladder at #1 because I find it absolutely terrific, but it's hard to when weighing it up against such tracks as Natural Science, Freewill, and TSOR. Just like on MP, I think a song like The Camera Eye could be worthy of the top spot if there weren't songs like Limelight, YYZ, and Red Barchetta in contention.

 

Moral of the story: Rush are freaking amazeballs.

:yes:
