chain__lightning Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 I'd choose Presto by far, though I love RTB. 1
Your_Lion Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 Presto. I find it more consistent.While I find the highs higher on RTB, I also find the lows lower. 1
treeduck Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 Albums you mean or the title tracks of those albums? I'm not sure actually.
Cyclonus X-1 Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 Presto. It has more good songs and nothing quite as bad as Heresy. 1
treeduck Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 Presto. It has more good songs and nothing quite as bad as Heresy.I don't know I think Superconductor and Scars are worse than that.

rocket ignites Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 I want this to be a poll so poor little Presto can finally win something! 1
J2112YYZ Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 Presto. The more consistent album with Superconductor being the only stinker. RTB has a handful of really good songs but it's lows are very low.
EagleMoon Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 RTB's by far. I only like two tracks on Presto. 1
chain__lightning Posted April 23, 2017 Author Posted April 23, 2017 Presto. I find it more consistent.While I find the highs higher on RTB, I also find the lows lower. Agreed. Roll The Bones has the same setup for almost every song where certain phrases or sentences are repeated constantly making each song so similar. This includes tracks 2-4, 6, 9-10. The chorus of these songs gets repeated to much.
The K Man Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 Both have some blah songs (Neurotica, You Bet Your Life, War Paint, Superconductor), but Roll the Bones has more great songs (4-5 to 2) and is a better sounding record. 1
chain__lightning Posted April 23, 2017 Author Posted April 23, 2017 Presto. It has more good songs and nothing quite as bad as Heresy. I don't mind Heresy, though I can see why people don't like it. Very confusing track at times, with too much effort put into it

I love both War Paint and Superconductor. Superconductor is a rockin 7/8 tune, while War Paint's lyrics are really meaningful

HemiBeers Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 Both are disappointments, but I can never get through the tinny production on Presto. So RTB by process of elimination. GET BUSY! 1
chain__lightning Posted April 23, 2017 Author Posted April 23, 2017 I want this to be a poll so poor little Presto can finally win something! Yes! It's my favorite Rush album and I seriously don't get why people dislike it so much. The first 4 tracks are amazing. Like wow. Scars was too artificial (having no actual bass when they played it live, only synth and loops). Presto was a great song. Superconductor is :) . Anagram is a good tune although the lyrics mean nothing (though they rhyme well). Red Tide is good, I'd wanna see how they would play it live. I love Hand Over Fist, I don't get why they left it at the bottom of the vault. Same with Available Light!!!! That song is the scheisse! I'd give that album a solid 10. 2

I guess that's true, but The Pass? That one destroys me inside with the lyrics. They go along well with the tune.
AnalogRich Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 Presto to me ( only my little opinion ) is the better/stronger album. I find Roll the Bones to be weak with only 4 good songs. 1
Entre_Perpetuo Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 If RTB is a masterpiece, then Presto is Mozart.
