savagegrace26 Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 So is this what BlueFox refers to when he says people are going around approving or disapproving of people's lists? Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow Presto is a much better album. And despite all the hate the production and mixing gets, even that aspect of Presto is superior to CA. Just my opinion.No problem. Here at TRF even those with issues can have opinions Aww! Well I am glad you love it so much, but I can no longer stay interested after track three. Only album of the millenium that I love from Rush is Vapor Trails.I have to agree about the Vapor Trails part. There is only one song on there that I truly dislike, and 2 more that I'm not particularly fond of, while CA has at least 3 songs I dislike and 3 more that have grown off of me significantly since my first listen (can you believe I used to rank it above AFTK and PeW? ). CA is good but it doesn't reach the heights of anything from 1977 to 1985, while I would place VT alongside PoW and Signals though not quite as high as AFTK-MP or GuP.

savagegrace26 Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 So who's list so far is the most right? I could start a poll or a "rate other people's list" thread... Hmmm. I could start a poll to decide whether I should do a poll or a rate thread. But how do I choose whether to start that poll or not? How about a poll asking whether to start that poll or not? Shit...I think I'm having a cyclic redundancy check error. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here at TRF even those with issues can have opinions Aww! Well I am glad you love it so much, but I can no longer stay interested after track three. Only album of the millenium that I love from Rush is Vapor Trails. Well I think Presto is a beautiful and criminally underrated album (currently rank it 3rd of all Rush albums for me) and Presto is my favorite song they've done since 1989. My favorite track from CA is The Anarchist and I'd probably rank Presto, Available Light and The Pass above that track. While CA is very good it doesn't touch Presto unless being louder, noisier, and overly dense musically somehow equates to better. Presto's crisp and clear production (specifically with the Remasters) also blows away CA's mix. Presto is also lyrically and musically more creative and imaginative. I think CA is borderline great but much less interesting than Presto overall. My thoughts exactly! Not a single song on CA impresses me anymore the way it once did. CA sounded so much better to my ears when I first heard it, but that is because at that time I only knew three Rush albums! For sentimental reasons, I hold it dear. Realistically i am not even sure if I like it anymore. The production is horrendous, and overall the songs aren't as strong as VT, which I LOOOOOOVE! Presto is top ten for me, and considering the band released 11 or twelve albums that I LOVE IMMENSELY I think that speaks volumes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will take Presto's "thin" production over Roll The Bones "shiny" production anyday. It also sounds better than Vapor Trails, Snakes And Arrows, Clockwork Angels, Signals and Fly By Night.
