EagleMoon Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Leave Presto till last and then you'll understand why it's one of the least liked albums.Or you can listen to it with an open mind and you just might like it. Ya never know. Presto I would like it more if it was remastered with more balls. The bass and low mids are pretty much absent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaris Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) Ok looks like I'll only be able to order Steel, 2112, and Waves. In case you don't know, I'm 16 and I ask my dad for money since both my parents won't let me get a job. He just told me he's only giving me enough for those albums. So I listened to Kings and wow, what a great album! The title track and Xanadu are my favorites from it. Edited July 31, 2015 by Polaris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thought about it in the past, but it may just be that the bright production fits the songs. Although the live treatment of those songs does give them a heavier sound. So...yeah.

DistantEarlySignals Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 If you have access to Netflix or something, I would recommend going ahead and watching the documentary 'Beyond The Lighted Stage.'

It's great to be able to watch it over and over and not have to worry about digging out the blu-ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeson90 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 my view is anything post permanent waves more for mature rush heads. starters should begin with either 2112, waves itself, or obviously kings/hemispheres. you could throw in COS or FBN into the mix too but i'd use them as snacks during the main course really. not to say they aren't brilliant, COS is mindlowing but possibly for the slightly more developed learner too. once you get past Waves, even moving pictures is becoming maybe slightly too developed for the young padawan :) only after thoroughly digesting the starter albums and you know what this band really all about should you move onto stuff like signals/gup/hyf etc etc but then again that might all be bullsh*t i'm too old to know what's right or wrong anymore. in fact yeah, dismiss all that cr*p, go straight for vapor trails... secret touch, ghost rider and earthshine will blow you awayyy man.

Polaris Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) I ordered the three albums! They should arrive some time next week. The next three on my list are Hemispheres, Power Windows, and Grace Under Pressure. I'll look up the documentary and I'll check out the live albums at some point also. I watched the Periscope stream of last night's show and wow, I underestimated these guys big time. Edited August 2, 2015 by Polaris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc4gd Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Take your time. I've found there is a season for each album. Also there are different eras of their albums which you may already have noticed. You have a long journey ahead...enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polaris Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Got Caress and 2112 in the mail yesterday. Here's my quick review on both of them from the albums thread in the non-Rush music section. Listened to these two for the first time. Rush - Caress Of Steel. This is an odd album. Bastille Day is alright and I Think I'm Going Blad is mediocre and generic. Lakeside Shore is nice and the Necromancer is odd. Musically it's nice but I don't like the transitions at all. It doesn't flow so well in the way it was put together. The Fountain Of Lamneth turned out to be my favorite from this album and may be one of my favorite Rush songs now. Rush - 2112. This is a much more consistent album. It's very enjoyable. The 2112 suite is amazing. I like the tracks that come afterwards. I'm really attracted to Tears.
