    • 20 My name is rushgoober and If this album came out before 1987, then there's a good chance I'll acknowledge it, pssst do you think a grown man can look cute in a beret? I wear it with my baby outfit for Robin, I think I make the cutest little baby in all of Oregon!!

    • 22 This album is the cornerstone of Rush's catalogue
      0
    • 23 I think this album is superfluous, I don't even own it

    • 24 Anyone who doesn't own this is a bogus RUSH fan!!

    • 25 My name is Ghost Girl, who the hell is this Rutsey person, where's the picture of Neil? NEILLLLLLLLLLLLL, I love you darling!!! Neil??? Neil is that you?? I love you Neil!! What??? Rush Revisted?? Again??? And this time you're naked??? I told you!! I only have eyes for Neil!!!

    • 26 My name is edgyspice, unless there's some Genesis connection or a naked pic of Mike oldfield I'm not interested, oh but if someone uses the word GAY in a negative way I WILL comment on this, something in my experience makes me sympathise so strongly that I WILL do this!! Any naked Chris Squire pics? Oh Lord I wish i could rape Mike Oldfield!!

    • 27 The first Rush album is laughable, does anyone listen to this Led Zep rip-off anymore?
      1
    • 28 Rutsey is on there but he makes no impression on me
      1
    • 29 I just love the early RUSH fashions, the album is all about flares!!
      0
    • 30 Great album, Rutsey being on there is bonus
      0
    • 31 My name is Tick and I want to take this opportunity to reveal that I am the first person on earth who has actually learned how to fly, I fly at night only at the moment, so as to keep secret from the authorities who would try to exploit my new gift and/or experiment on my mind to find out the truth of my powers, so obviously based on this I prefer Fly By Night to this album, but my middle name is Rutsey and if you sliced my arm like a stick of blackpool rock you'd see the name RUTSEY inscribed there!

    • 32 I have talked to the spirit of John Rutsey, he doesn't approve of this poll, but he does want to vote for the Neil is an asshat option
      0
    • 33 This album shows RUSH in their most pure form
      2
    • 34 My name is 73 1-0-1-0-1 and I rule this forum with an iron fist, and I'm surely the smartest mod/admin of the bunch of them. Rutsey? yes he's ok, I'll allow him some credit but he better not rise again, if he scares people on my forum with his ghostly antics I WILL ban him, where the bourbon, pass that bottle over, oh shit just send me a crate...

    • 35 I think this album is nice....for it's era
      4
    • 36 The band just did what they had to, it is what it is
      2
    • 37 it's up there with my favourite Rush albums
      6
    • 38 My name is Johnny Blaze and I am now the sole lone master. Master Po has gone into a cosmic trance and cannot be awakened. Master Kan is walking the path of the unsleep and cannot be summoned at this time. I walk the dusty plains alone because I must, I am a man of peace but I fight for justice for the downtrodden, in other words I put a serious kung fu beatdown on a few hard asses who get cocky when I'm trying to get a good beer down me!! I sometimes see spirits walking the plains and of course I've seen the spririt of Rutsey, he calls out to me, I tell him I'm finding my way, and I'm not in the mood for his bullshit, I'm a working man, a priest, he said you will return here again, I know what you're doing but you need others, you must take a friend and now I pray for John before and after I enter the plains, and now I'm off to find a hot tart because my fellow RUSHIES i need some love!!

    • 39 I'm in the same boat Johnny, I wish my wife would put out
      1
    • 40 My name is Necro and yes I'm still in hospital, but don't you doubt that I will return here!! My mind is floating in the black forest with By-tor right now and I can also see the LORD GOD RUTSEY in the shadows, he screams out the name of the evil demon PEART who stole his rUSH soul and consumed his lyrics writing ability in one horrible devilish swallow. I will fight for you LORD GOD RUTSEY and with my viking sensibilites I will bring him down!! Now where's the drugs???? Where's the booze???? Ohh nooooo the Chargers are shit this year!!! give me more booze!! Where's the porn channel??? Send Sarah Palin over to perform Caberet!! I want my PUDDING!!! OH GOD I want to kill some MMA star and eat their flesh!!! RUTSEY IS GOD!! DEATH to the PEART demon!!

It took 5 minutes to do this poll, 5 minutes is not too much time, but maybe it is for you...

# 41 oops.gif What was the question again?

 

 

 

Oh Yeah ...I guess, i'm a bogus Rush fan, I don't have a copy, but have R-30 footage and a copy of Retrospective 1 and have heard it. Does that count?

 

Dont'cha just love these polls? popcorn.gif

#8 for me.

 

Definately in my top 10 of Rush albums (but certainly not a top 5). Some nice killer Lerxst riffs in there.

 

Any album with Lerxst playing Gibsons trump the Sportscaster/Signature guitar phase.

I was listening to this album yesterday while I was milling about on the Counterparts forum, trying to find a thread I could post in without looking like a moron and 2.gif TOTALLY rocked!! It was like hearing a new fresh album all over again!!

 

I'm having a MAJOR early Rush frenzy fest!!

There's a few albums its better than actually yes.gif

No doubt about it.

 

I voted It's up there with my favorite Rush albums. Always has been, always will be. The folks who bash this album don't have a clue what rock & roll is all about.

I don't have enough time to read through the poll, so here are my 2 cents:

 

CoS < S&A < T4E < Rush

 

Rush has a rating of 7.5/10 for me right now.

I don't understand that scoring system, can you write it in English too...

Since you seem to lack basic math skills:

 

I think that Rush is a better album than Snakes and Arrows, Test for Echo and Caress of Steel. If I had to rate the album it on a scale of 10, it would be a 7.5

 

Satisfied?
