1-0-0-1-0-0-1 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Counterparts. Rush's return to form after the antiseptic sounds of Presto and RTB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDL2112 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Counterparts...or T4E... Could only come down to 2 choices!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dissonata Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Well... If you have "ATWAS" and "ESL" then you have most of "Fly By Night", already. As these albums contain everything from "FBN", except "Best I Can", "Making Memories" and "Rivendell". So.... I would suggest "Counterparts". If you don't have the "Live" albums, yet, "Fly By Night" is a good choice. If, for no other reason, that it's a significant album in the band's history.

Roddy Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Presto FBN Rush CP T4E. Possibly don't even bother with T4E at all..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kudzu Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Presto. And maybe Test for Echo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrospective Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Presto... but I think I'm the only one who says that. Counterparts is my second choice (tied with T4E) Test for Echo is a great album, good album art. Fly By Night is great, but as someone mentioned: If you have the live albums you pretty much have all of the Fly By Night album. Same with Rush, kind of anyway. It's up to you.

Rush! Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Buy all of them at the same time if you have the $. That's what I do, and then I just listen to them in chronological order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Rygar Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Presto, it has "The Pass" you will hate a few songs on it.... But Chain Lightning is also a fav. You know, screw it. Buy em all. The only way to be safe~! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of a Rider Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 If your aim is to eventually have all of them it probably doesn't matter which one you buy next. They're all good anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcaressed Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 If you like great guitar work, get Rush or FBN, either one. They are both very guitar heavy. A power trio establishing the standard at that time. They are dated, but they absolutely rock. If you like great guitar work and polished studio sounds, go for TFE. If you like the samples and some moderate keyboard work, Counterparts is the one. If you like over-produced studio work that is overtly watered down, get Presto. There are a few gems on this one, to be sure. But it is their weakest effort by far. That's my two cents, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Pert Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I'm going to advise Presto, even though Counterparts is my actual favorite of the ones you list. Reason being: Presto wins the award for the Rush album about which my opinion has changed most dramatically. When it first came out, I was very nonplussed -- not only because I was still living in the synth era, but because it struck me as having a light and tinny sound for Rush. But there are a lot of very catchy tunes on it, and they grew on me fast. In fact, I'm listening to one of those catchy songs right now -- War Paint -- as I type this. "The mirror always lies..."

Signals1982 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 My opinion: Presto! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azechiel Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Fly By Night! Terribly underrated album... I love it. Then Presto, then Rush (if only for FINDING MY WAY! - I love that song), then Counterparts, then Test for Echo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
