goose Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I listened to everything released before AFTK and after Signals this week. God, Presto and RTB are mediocre albums. Not as horrid as HYF, but not even on the same planet as the golden era material.I listened to both Presto and AFTK this week, and Presto destroys AFTK as far as I'm concerned.

I think AFTK is, by far, their most overrated album. I love Xanadu. I don't really love anything else on that album. CttH is not a favorite of mine, and I actually think Cygnus X-1 is unlistenable in places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people here LOVE it (I know it's not overrated in the general public, where's it's basically unknown, I meant here), but the songs just don't click for me.

EagleMoon Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I the piccolo snare. Honestly, I do! Sounds like someone hitting a coffee can. The DW's sound more like cans. The picolo snare is tight, crisp, with a jazz feel. That's not a very nice thing to say about coffee cans. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May have something to do with me being 15 when it came out. Was also my first Rush concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
On TheRoad To Adventure Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I like RTB better than Presto, although a few years ago, I didn't like either. With the exception of a couple of songs, I now love RTB. The opposite is true for Presto. I only like a couple of the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was 12 when PeW came out and it was my first introduction to Rush. So it and MP flip flop as my favorite album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catherine Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 RTB pretty easily for me. I do like about half of Presto, but yeah the thin production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible airwave Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Easy, RTB. Presto is their weakest production wise and the title track to the former was my intro to them at age 11 on MTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 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. You Bet Your Life is much worse than any of those. Peart trying to be playful and clever with those lyrics just doesn’t work for me. YBYL would have to be in my top 3 worst Rush tunes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasbo Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 RTB for me.Although Presto has some killer tracks it also has some duds(Scars,Anagram) and the production is weaker .RTB is great and I have no trouble playing MP or Hem alongside it.RTB has a consistency to it.And yes I am waiting for the ‘consistently bad’ comment.

I listened to the album last year and a few years ago and I stopped it before the last two tracks can play. I actually only like 3 songs off of it. Half of it is stuff I think is just okay or barely passable, 3 others I dislike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
