LedRush Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 It's arguable, but Vapor Trails through Clockwork Angels. I'd put Vapor Trails, Snakes and Arrows and Clockwork Angels up against any other three out there actually. How awesome is that? Is it opposite day? I'll go with Power Windows, Hold Your Fire, and Presto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddyLeeRoth Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I can't go with just four, because to me Rush has always been epitomized my their unsurpassed five album run of 2112-MP. No other band has put out 5 flawless back-to-back albums of this magnitude (and to top it off, the albums before and following them are way better than most bands at their very best). Five, not four. Five. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theanalogmiddleagedman Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 2112, AFtK, Hemispheres, PeW, Hell - you have to throw in MP for 5. This has to be the best 5 album run of all time maybe not popularly, but just pure creative artistry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameraman2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 The only songs on S/A that I can skip are Bravest Face and We Hold On. The others are pretty solid songs :dweez: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bri-tor Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 For me, this is quite a hard question to answer. If it were concerning three albums, I would have to say Grace under Pressure, Power Windows and Hold Your Fire. But given that I do not rate Signlas nor Presto very highly, then I would say Farewell to Kings, Hemishperes, Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures. Though each album has some weak moments, I find that the musical progression Rush made over the course of these four albums is untouched by any other four album period. My qualm with putting Signals in with the other three mentioned above is that I find the production weak, and some of the songs simply not very interesting. SDame goes for Presto. I really appreciate the stripped-down sound, but the production is so flat, and the songs pretty mediocre (with the certain exception of Show Don´t Tell, which I pray to come back every tour!!!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I feel negative towards both Hemispheres and Signals, and as much as I love Presto, it doesn't feel right to be in the same run as p/g-HYF. But I prefer it immensely to Signals! As for Hemispheres, its good, but not great. I used to love it but ita charms have worn off whereas other albums have grown on me tenfold (PoW and Presto come to mind!).
