ReRushed Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 QUOTE (rushgoober @ May 24 2012, 10:15 PM) 2. No one has yet given a perfect 10 to more than 2 albums! Sometimes I can't bring myself to rate every album I love a 10. I try to reserve a 10 rating to albums that I feel truly set a new standard and, in away, transcend its genre.

I try to reserve a 10 rating to albums that I feel truly set a new standard and, in away, transcend its genre. Me too, which is why I only gave Rush two 10's (but also two 9.5's, one 9 and four 8.5's!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossedSignals Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I'm currently listening through all of the albums in their entirely, so I'm going to hold off on posting on this thread until I finish.... I want to give every album a fresh chance. Even Test For Echo, which currently gets a 1, and Caress Of Steel, which gets a 2. I'm hoping my opinions will change after hearing the entire albums again! I've only listened to T4E all the way through ONE TIME.... I literally thought it was so lame that I've never gone back to it, save for a couple individual songs. Expect me back once CA is out and the listening party is over!

Powderfinger Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Rush - 6 Fly By Night - 7.5 Caress of Steel - 5.5 2112 - 8 AFTK - 9.5 Hemispheres - 10 Permanent Waves - 8.5 Moving Pictures - 9 Signals - 10 P/G - 8 Power Windows - 7 Hold Your Fire - 7.5 Presto - 2.5 Roll the Bones - 3 Counterparts - 7 Test for Echo - 2.5 Vapor Trails - I've yet to listen to the whole thing. That should give you some idea of how I feel about what I have heard. Snakes and Arrows - 7 I did my best to adhere to Goober's governing criteria. For example, if it seems like I'm being too hard on Presto that's because I can only locate "a couple of good or great tracks." Likewise, I wanted to give Permanent Waves a score of nine, but I'm not entirely sure that Different Strings isn't a "weak track," and sometimes Freewill gets on my nerves ( gasp!). Anyway, there you have it...
