What Is The First "Bad" Rush Album?

[treeduck]

RTB......utter, utter shite.

And here was I thinking you were a big fan of the Roll the Bones "rap"...

 

“Fridge, relax! Get busy with the crap”

 

The rap becomes more and more shite over the years.

I blame Rupert Hine for allowing them to do that. If I'd have been the producer I'd have said, "you're not doing that on one of my records."

 

As producer I would’ve said, “Boys, I know you’re just takin’ the piss with this rap but it’s got to go.”

I can imagine Fridge dancing to it right after he called the album a pile of crap, and really humping the stereo like a misguided RUSH Casanova, that's right Fridge wants to f**k the Roll the Bones rap!

[treeduck]

None of them.

Presto

 

HYF is a mixed bag but Presto is full on adult contemporary production of it's era.

less keys was a vast improvement, imo. HYF is a Casio nightmare

If by f***ing it you mean ramming a sawn -off shotgun up it's fetid, putrescent arsehole and squeezing the trigger as hard as I can then you would be quite correct....

[gerkildare]

I wish I could say 'Rush doesn't make bad albums' - but I can't.

 

I see that I'm the only vote [so far] for 'Power Windows' - but, to answer to poll's question, it is the 1st album where I thought, 'Nope this is too much' (that's the sanitised version!)

'Big Money' and 'Manhattan Project' I can tolerate, but the rest is traumatic! (agaIn... sanitised!)

 

HYF is a close 2nd, btw!!

Here’s Fridge with a shotgun dealing with Powers Boothe and David Carradine’s kid brother:

 

http://youtu.be/f0CSZxcmXfY

 

So yeah, he probably won’t shoot you...but he would if it came to it.

If you’re wondering what happened to one of his arms - he had a couple of mosquito bites on it one night that really irritated him so he sawed it off with the rustiest blade he could find. Melli/mellow-drama and all.

*Slowly backing away to the hillside just beyond shooting distance...*

 

His name is Keith...the Carradine that is...

 

JB & treeduck: "What?!"

 

*Comes a little closer..*

 

I said...His name is KEITH!! KEITH CARRADINE!!! Fine, Fridge can dislike Roll the Bones!

Trade Mission and a song off of Presto to be named later to Dan Fogelberg for My Auld Lang Syne.

Every album has some great songs on it. If I’m comparing Rush to other bands, they don’t have a bad album. If I’m comparing albums to the rest of the catalog, Caress of Steel and HYF are harder to listen to.

Open Secrets and High Water (no offense!). Lock and Key is another I could probably live without. I dunno, really; something about the production, the keyboard layers, the "lushness" of it -- it's a Rush album, right, so I'd still rather listen to it on repeat than anything in Beyonce's discography, but it's way down the list for Rush Albums.
