This is a great album. I don't even mind The Speed of Love. While being the only song worthy of the skip button, it would be one of the best tunes on their previous effort following Bravado and Dreamline.

There's a great EP hiding somewhere in Counterparts... it's a shame that there's such a quantity of filler clogging it up. I've put about half of CP and half of T4E on a CD, and it's much better than any of their post-HYF releases bar VTR... Edited by len(songs)

I think the sound and the production was what is meant by "classic sounding Rush" and I get that. It has nothing to do with the great epics obviously....

Counterparts is a pretty solid album. Speed of Love and Everyday Glory aren't great Rush songs, but they are good songs. Put them on a Goo Goo Dolls album and they are the best songs they ever wrote. Everything else is good to great.

 

Did I really write this? Holy crap now I would put this one near the bottom.

Countrparts and T4E are Ying and Yang albums as for two consecutive albums they are so different. Neither album appeals to me and it feels like the band had lost direction at that point, going from Roll the Bones to Counterparts to T4E.
