The Analog Cub Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 I thought this thread would be interesting, we can give the albums a proper star rating unlike the tabloid news mags (RS) Rush ★ Fly By Night ★★ 1/2Caress Of Steel ★★ 1/22112 ★★★ 1/2A Farewell To Kings ★★★Hemispheres ★★★★★Permanent Waves ★★★★Moving Pictures ★★★★★Signals ★★★★★Grace Under Pressure ★★★★★Power Windows ★★★★ 1/2Hold Your Fire ★★Presto ★★Roll The Bones ★ 1/2Counterparts ★★★★★Test For Echo ★★★Vapor Trails ★★★Snakes And Arrows ★★★★Clockwork Angels ★★★★★

Mr. Not Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Another way to look at it. this isn't exactly how I'd rank the albums from favorite to least, but close. I ranked the albums from greatest to least while staying true to the star ratings. My ratings of each album obviously has a lot to do with personal taste, but limiting albums to a 4 star rating makes you look at things differently. I could just simply convert my 10 point ratings to 4 point ratings, but that'd be no fun, I made this intuitive instead. Hemispheres isn't actually even in my top 5 fav albums since it's more like an EP -- but if you're giving it a star 4 point star rating, can you find a reason to give it only 3 stars? I think on a point scale I give it 8/10, which would be 3.2/4, so if I were to do the conversion method it would indeed be 3/4...Giving Hemispheres 3.2/4 looks good.Giving 8/10 to hemispheres looks good.Giving Hemisphere 3/4? Terrible. Defy rules of rounding and just give it a 4/4. "Most illogical"? ...Yep!

lifeson90 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 They all get maximum with exception of clockwork angels, which for me is the first rush album to contain slightly below par material alongside some of the best stuff the band ever done.

Just a little confused by Hemispheres getting a mere 3 stars, less than PeW and PW. I was thinking you were just into the 80's era til I saw MP with only 3 and Caress of Steel with 4. Also surprised there was not even one 5 star review. Not questioning your list or judging it, I just can't get a feel for your list.
