Attention TRF people: You really need to read the links people post before you comment on said link.

 

:D

 

OMG, is this a review about a Rush album or some sort of sick joke?

 

I wish i hadn't clicked on that, pure mindless drivel.

I've never been so offended in my life, you honestly might have pushed me to finally ending it all, thanks, farewell cruel world. Edited by Megadeth

power windows is definitely pussy music but I love it

Straight to the point as usual :LOL: . For all these years I though I had bought this album back in the day but I don't have it so I must have already given up by then. Grace Under Pressure was my last Rush album purchase. I saw them live twice after Power Windows but that was just to hear even at that time "the older stuff" :LOL: ... :codger:

Its seems highly overrated on this board, and in general. Some good songs, some really bad ones. Mediocre at best, IMHO. Personally consider GUP to be the last great album overall.

:goodone: The nail right on the head. Especially in bold.. :cheerleader: Edited by Narps

Welll......potentially...but I still can listen to Counterparts, Snake & Arrows, and Clockwork Angels with little to no coercion.... It's just that PoW through RtB, then T4E and VT that seem to need some reason more than my once every year "I'm just listening top to bottom, so I have to listen to them" ritual...

I think I bought the cassette tape when it came out. I was very happy to see this tour. I remember everyone being glad that Geddy gave up that Steinberger stick he'd been playing and went back to a large wooden bass again. They played every song from Power Windows, except Emotion Detector, at the two shows I attended. I had only seen them once, in 1980, before the PW tour.

Amazed why Emotion detector would be left out it would be one of the first ones on my list?

Despite the obvious disliking of the song on here Gran Designs I probably play more than anything, sometimes I just select that one off the album when I'm selecting random tracks. Very close to admitting it's my favourite Rush song don't know why but I never gat bored with it, great intro, great chorus, one of Alex's best solos and glorious close out, a very catchy number.

^ Oh, I like Grand Designs very much! I didn't know it was roundly disliked, if that is the case.

 

I wouldn't call it an absolute favourite of mine, but it is a shimmering, upbeat modern rock tune (modern for its time, anyway)...very catchy indeed. I like it a lot.

Of the 3 you mention, the only one Ill listen full through is CP, which is definitely a good album. Though as time has passed, I'm thinking that the production of that album is its best quality, along with about 5 truly exceptional songs, and one I consider one of their all time best (Animate).
