Tombstone Mountain Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 FBN—no question. Not a bad song on the album. Neil's presence is immediately felt. The direction of the band changes for the better. Counterparts is a good though. Not a frequent resident in the player...FBN is always in the rotation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolarizeMe Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 If you asked me months or years ago, I would've said Counterparts. Now, I'm not too sure anymore, as despite what my signature says, I've grown immense love for Fly By Night. At the moment, Fly By Night but both albums are two of my top 10 favorite Rush albums.

len(songs) Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Fly By Night, no question. FBN has Anthem, BBB, By-Tor, and the title track, while Counterparts has Animate and LTTA and maybe a few others I listen to from time to time but nothing else that really stands out. Despite the weak link of Rivendell, FBN takes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I know I'm setting myself up for pain, but I thought I'd gauge how people view one of Rush's most underrated albums with their most overrated one.

A lot of people seem to love it, but in my opinion it's kind of... lacking, especially when it comes to consistency. Overall a bottom 5 record for me...

TheAccountant Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 It took me years to appreciate Counterparts but I have come to really like the album. Its just wonderful. But for my taste, FBN wins this match up easily. As good as Counterparts i, it just gets blown away by FBN - a very underrated album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
