Yes Mr. Terrapin, tell it like it is!

 

Vapor Trails

Snakes & Arrows

Clockwork Angels

 

All three releases are wretched messes.

 

Everybody who says these abominations are a "masterpiece" have no taste in music. NONE!

 

These albums are so bad I must troll! I can't help it!

There is almost more horrible studio Rush albums than there are quintessential ones:

 

Quintessential Rush albums:

 

Fly By Night

2112

A Farewell to Kings

Hemispheres

Permanent Waves

Moving Pictures

Signals

Grace Under Pressure (2nd side saves it)

 

 

 

Not quintessential but had some good songs on there Rush albums:

 

Rush

Caress of Steel

Power Windows (big money saves it from being horrible)

Roll The Bones

Presto

 

 

Horrible Rush albums:

 

Counterparts

Test For Echo

Vapor Trails

Feedback

Snakes & Arrows

Clockwork Angels

 

 

 

I voted "I hate all three". Like someone said in the Rolling Stone review thread this producer has made another safe sounding rock album. The Nickelback reference is perfect.

 

Vapor Trails/Snakes & Arrows/Clockwork Angels all run together in a big ball of blandness (except maybe Caravan). I can't tell any songs apart. Sad, I was hoping they would get away from that after the promising Caravan single.

 

More synth's, more proggy, less bluesy rock!

 

That goddamn Feedback album sent them into a slump deeper than Bacchus Plateau!

 

 

 

Wire - yeah!

Still blowing my head up - it's tight! Can't hate on Metallica anymore.

It's good! It shows the real cancer was Bob Rock.

 

This is the real followup to Justice For All.

Best: Farewell to Kings

 

Worst: tie between Snakes & Arrows and Hold Your Fire

Flesh & Blood

 

 

Not available on CD but an excellent instrumental album, very Rush-like download on Itunes:

 

Damage Manual - "Limited Edition" (Instrumentals)

 

 

 

The regular version is no good. Chris Connelly's (the Ministry guy) voice is horrible. He ruins the awesome music.

 

 

179. The fadeout on Countdown, Vital Signs & Digital Man. Nobody is better at fading out a tune than Rush.

Riot - Fire Down Under

 

(half man, half seal creature)

Victor

Signals - pure electronic genius
