Merely Space Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Arguably my second favorite album. Best production ever. Amazing bass. Great songwriting. Fantastic guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staunchally Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Horrible album, due solely to the "CHEESY", dated "Miami Vice" synths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superiorcynic Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 QUOTE (drbirdsong @ Apr 17 2012, 12:56 PM)There are no wasted notes or filler anywhere. This. Exactly what I was thinking listening to it on the way to work this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronos Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 This rare and precious metal earned a 9 from me. Not a weak track in the bunch, but my least faves are Mystic Rhythms and Manhattan Project. Best are Territories and The Big Money. Oh, and Grand Designs. Oh, and Middletown Dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 This one get's a 10. One of my all time fav Rush albums.....not a note out of place for me here. And i adore Marathon. Maybe the best 80's album for me. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 High eight for me as well. Before the CA tour I probably would've rated it slightly lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg2112 Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) Giving this one a 8. Ranking slightly lower than Grace and Signals. Went away from it a while, but over the last year revisited it and appreciate it more than ever. Great mix of guitar and keys, and outstanding playing, particularly Alex-- some of his most memorable solos are on this album. Great production —love listening with headphones.

The Analog Cub Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 9/10 All songs range from decent-awesome. Grand Designs is a bit too cheesy and Emotion Detector never stuck to me that well. Marathon, Mystic Rhythms, Middletown, and Territories I consider among the band's finest work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 An 8 on account of only two songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionDetector Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 As far as the sound quality / production goes...this is the gold standard of the Rush catelog IMO. Just perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 An 8 on account of only two songs. Which ones? I went for a nine: better than Signals, Permanent Waves and Presto, but not a patch on Hold Your Fire, Grace Under Pressure, or Moving Pictures. The bands fourth best effort of the eighties, but considering three of that decades releases gets the full ten, you could make the argument that I regard it as the second best, at least in terms of numbers. So close to perfect it hurts me to keep it at nine. But it just doesn't quite reach the heights of my absolute favourite Rush, aside from Marathon, which may just be my all time favourite Rush song. And The Big Money is one of those songs, like Subdivisions and The Pass, that I know is great, love dearly, but no where near as much as other fans. For me it starts the album awkwardly, and I wish it began with Grand Designs. Mystic Rhythms is one of the bands best ever closing songs, alongside Available Light and Everyday Glory.
