GabesCavesOfIce Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 HYF is their worst album. High Water. Tai Shan. Thought Mission was horrible at first but it has grown ok with age... CP was their return to hard rock and it influenced their next few albums.Then again, isn't this the Rush Keyboard Forum, so no surprise CP gets blasted and HYF praised. Go figure. CP was a return to a hard rock sound, but all the songs went away, all the melodies went away, and all the lyrics turned to crap. As such, it is the band's worst album. Though you are probably right that it influenced the bands second worst album, S&A. I'm not a huge fan of HYF, but it has several excellent and enjoyable songs, and they sound even better live. CP has virtually no redeeming qualities...other than it is about to be snuffed. Anyway, if you like real hard rock, you'll vote against CP in order to save CoS. CP influenced T4E and VT, Snakes was 15 years later, you're hysterical. Cut, Sun, Stick, Alien...the best songs of that era by far along with Force and Driven. The melodies went to eleven on my stereo, and still there. Besides Force, there is nothing memorable on HYF. Time stood still when that album spun. This is like alternate reality fandom, but still interesting..Dr. Bishop?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened to Clockwork Angels this morning and I'm now really regretting voting for it to go yesterday. I really, really enjoyed it. The production values on it still suck.

There are plenty of good songs post-PWs...good collections of songs, even...but no truly solid albums by RUSH standards.

As much as I like Grace Under Pressure, mostly enjoy Power Windows and have come to enjoy the first 8 of HYF it is still really a crap shoot after Signals. Nothing Signals back should be gone before the rest.... Signed, "True" Rush fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. i love the albums that follow signals. But every band has a peak......and Signals was Rush's, IMO.
