Planet X-1 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) The guitar work on GUP is stellar, which is probably the last album Alex shined on. Conversely, GUP is the second release in a row with 'filler' tunes... Distant Early Warning = The Big Money (both tunes epitomize what a Rush song is all about - power - albeit in different styles)Afterimage > Grand DesignsRed Sector A > Manhattan Project (preachy lyrics that could be on Snakes and Arrows ;))The Enemy Within (filler) < Marathon (live version rules)The Body Electric > TerritoriesKid Gloves (EVH kiss my ass) > Middletown Dreams (killer riffs by Alex though, and nice lyrics by Neil.... :P)Red Lenses (filler, "Red dead redemption, get under my bed...your balls are blu...whatever") < Emotion DetectorBetween the Wheels (killer solo, splat this rabbit) > Mystic Rhythms edit: edited for kindness.... :D Edited June 13, 2018 by Planet X-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laughedatbytime Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 7-0-1 for p/g, with only Manhattan Project preventing a clean sweep. PoW is when I started losing interest in the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m no surprised! lol However, Red Sector A/Manhattan Project + the last 3 tracks were close and I could’ve gone the same route as you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedRush Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Distant Early Warning > The Big MoneyAfterimage > Grand DesignsRed Sector A < Manhattan ProjectThe Enemy Within > Marathon (but no one loses)The Body Electric > TerritoriesKid Gloves < Middletown Dreams (but no one wins)Red Lenses < Emotion DetectorBetween The Wheels < Mystic Rhythms (but no one wins) 4-4, even Steven. On the strength of the first 5 songs (and that I don't like 2 of PoW's wins), I'll take GuP as a better album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprising, considering these two albums are easily in my top 5.

Derek19 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) Since "Signals" has the same amount of songs on it as "Power Windows", and "Grace Under Pressure", I'll do it with the both of them, too.
