goose Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Went with VT thru CA, although the past weekend I put RTB in and enjoyed it quite a bit. VT has great songs, S&A sounds amazing, and CA pretty much combines the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 I voted for VT, S&A and CA as well... I like the other three too but just not as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexmai Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 You could try also '70s first three... only '80s are stronger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CruisingInPrimetime Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Easily the 21st century albums. CA, SA, and VT are probably my three favorite Rush albums. Roll the Bones, Counterparts, and Test For Echo are way at the bottom of my list -- only above the self-titled debut through, but not including, 2112.

lifeson90 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 counterparts is a great album and RTB not too far behind so didnt like letting it down when voting for later three VT and CA just too good though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presto123 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 This is hard for me because I like RTB, T4E, and Counterparts better than SnA. CA trumps them all though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossedSignals Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Roll The Bones: pretty good Counterparts: excellent Test For Echo: pretty unlistenable Vapor Trails: excellent Snakes & Arrows: fair Clockwork Angels: very good I went with the latter 3, like everyone else so far. The score right now is 13-0! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclonus X-1 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I'd definitely take Vapor Trails over Roll the Bones and Snakes & Arrows over Test for Echo. I'm not sure at this point if I'd go with Clockwork Angels over Counterparts (both are excellent), but I'm leaning in that direction. Either way, the last three albums get my vote.

Earthshine Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) I prefer Vapor Trails, Snakes & Arrows & Clockwork Angels to the 90s albums. Edited June 13, 2012 by Earthshine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 This is a good poll Duck. I like the polished production of the earlier three Rush records yet I think Testicles For Echo is weak. "Vapor Trails," "Snakes And Arrows" and "Mudwork Angels" may not be the best produced yet the are "diamonds in the rough." Perhaps it's the sound the band has always been looking for since Neil's tragic trilogy of horrors. Perhaps they were sick of the polished pop keyboard shite sound. I may sound like a hypocrite now but the human opinion does indeed change like the "Red Tide." I don't understand why there is so much dislike for "Snakes And Arrows." I absolutely fuckking love that record. Again, "S&A" is the best Rush album since GUP. JMO Real Rush fans hate "We Hold On?" What a great song! Wish it was performed live!!!!!

GeddyRulz Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 All "in my opinion," of course: RTB almost completely sucked (save "Dreamline") and T4E wasn't much better. CP saves the group from being a TOTAL waste. Current group: S&A was pretty lame (save "Far Cry" and a few other moments), but VT and especially CA were both very good... so this group is my pick for the winner.

greg2112 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Tough to really say. There's only one good album in the 90s trio listed (Counterparts), and only one good one in the last 3, (CA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Even though Vapor Trails kinda sours the pot a bit, The other two albums more than make up for it! VT, S & A, CA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormtron Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Last three all the way. Not even a S&A fan, but it still blows away RTB and TFE. CP, VT, and CA rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briere2112 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Went with the 90's albums, almost entirely on the strength of Counterparts. If i had to rank them, i think this is how it would go (for today): Counterparts Clockwork Angels Snakes and Arrows Roll the Bones Test for Echo Vapor Trails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 matchup #1: VT > RTB matchup #2: Counterparts > S & A matchup #3: ((pending 'til I get my CA!...but shit, it's GOT TO be better than T4E yeah?)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merely Space Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Definitely the New Century Rush. Nineties Rush was a series of albums where, despite my best efforts, I really only liked a couple of songs off each album. In the new century, I like at least half the album, if not more.

Gilbertk Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Ugh.. I can't choose! (Although I suppose that is still a choose) I LOVE Clockwork Angels but the three 90's albums easily beat the other two so... Not sure where to vote. CA > T4E, CP, RTB > VT, S&A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
