OK, now it's time to re-rank the albums

Recommended Posts

Now that I've listened many times, I've decided to debut the great Clockwork Angels at #3 on my list. The top 2 will always be the top 2 for what they mean to me on so many levels. But I'm convinced that CA will always be at #3 for me as well.

 

And in my rankings, I included Feedback, so that I include all studio releases (and so that I make it an even 20).

 

1. Moving Pictures

2. Permanent Waves

3. Clockwork Angels

4. Signals

5. Hemispheres

6. Counterparts

7. Grace Under Pressure

8. Power Windows

9. A Farewell To Kings

10. Test For Echo

11. Snakes & Arrows

12. Presto

13. 2112

14. Vapor Trails

15. Hold Your Fire

16. Rush

17. Fly By Night

18. Caress Of Steel

19. Feedback

20. Roll The Bones

 

How about you?

I'm not completely comfortable placing Clockwork Angels in my top 5 after only a few days, but heck, the thing is so good that it might actually move up before all is said and done.

It's too early for me as well. I will say the high points for me (Anarchist, The Garden) are higher than on any album they've done in a long time. I still need to decide on some of the rest of the material and how much I like it from beginning to end.

Still too soon to be objective, but at this point in time I would say:

 

Moving Pictures

Permanent Waves

Hemispheres

Farewell To Kings

2112

Signals

Caress Of Steel

Fly By Night

Rush

Power Windows

Grace Under Pressure

Hold Your Fire

Clockwork Angels

Counterparts

Snakes And Arrows

Presto

Roll The Bones

Vapor Trails

Test For Echo

Feedback

 

Everything through Signals is hallowed ground for me, so CA may never crack the top 10. But it's certainly one of their best in the post-Terry era. trink39.gif

 

For me, CA is a lot like Counterparts with the energy, confidence, and diversity of styles. CA has the bonus of the scifi/concept angle, while CP gets the edge in sound (which is a bit of a dissapointment).

I think my rankings will remain solid for a few years. Perhaps CA can crack the Top 5 in due time though.

This is the first ranking I've ever made. The last 6 are a bit of a random order for me. It's hard to put those in their place. My opinion is always changing about them, but I can't really put my finger on the worst. They each have their moments. But the first 12 are all very very good to me. Just because Power Windows is 12 doesn't make it bad, I really enjoyed that one.

Too soon

Dreadful mixing will probably prevent me giving it a top 5 placing.

How about buying a stereo with a brick wall effect finish to match modern album production? unsure.gif

This list is just about perfect... I'd swap GUP and Pictures, but your bottom 4 are spot on, as are your top. Love it.
