k3no444 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I am debating between Clockwork Angels and Fly By Night to be their hardest albums IMO. What do you guys think is their hardest, most metal-like album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Honestly? A Farewell To Kings, or Hemispheres. 2112 comes to mind as well...CA doesn't strike me as very metal, as for FBN...yeah maybe... Ok. The one with Xanadu! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyLee Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 For the time... I'd say Hemispheres. There are slow acoustic moments but all 4 tracks get very heavy at times. Certainly not "metal" especially by today's standards but when it came out? Yeah. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty, nothing Rush has done strikes me as true metal, often metallic but nothing more than that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedRush Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 The hardest album is Vapor Trails. The album that was most "metal" at the time of release was probably 2112. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Clockwork Angels heavy? I agree with Segue. I am no fan of heavy metal (sorry guys). I do not equate anything Rush has done with heavy metal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would tend to agree with this but there's hardly an album of RUSH that I would consider "metal". Now there's one song I would consider to be heavy.......how about....Between The Wheels http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtXo7aYC2nY&sns=em Edited July 16, 2014 by g under p 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefox4000 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) I by no means consider ANYTHING rush has done to be metal. But you have to remember.

The Analog Cub Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 For its time, 2112 without a doubt. Then Vapor Trails, and to a lesser degree, CP and T4E. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Clockwork Angels most definitely for its consistent heaviness, but it's not really metal. I do agree that certain sections of songs from 2112, AFTK, and Hemispheres are pretty dang harsh, but I think if your gonna break it down into songs, I'd be stuck somewhere between BU2B and Working Man.
