Fridge Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Just wondering as I haven't got round to it yet.... Should I bother? 1
Bigbobby10 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 It's the best comeback album out of any band, I love it. 3
stone and a hard place Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 yes, in my humble opinion it is a good representation of a great band--but that being said you may not like it at all depending upon your valid taste in music. the only way to tell is to break out the old record player and drop the needle on the disk and as with all Rush recordings play it twice or you may not really understand if you like it or not. 2
Tony R Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 It runs the gamut of genius from a to c. 2
clem Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 My second favorite of all time. Many don't like the production - find the music to be a bit "loud". It's nothing like Hemispheres. Clem 2
YYZumbi Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 If you listen to it on vinyl then its a great album! But if you listen to it on CD, then its awful.... the mixing destroys it all. 2
Union 5-3992 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Yeah it's the best one they've done in years 2
djflex Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Imo, its outstanding. I will say it did take several listens all the way through to truly appreciate it. 2
apetersvt Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Probably my favorite since MP. My brain could debate with itself about that with Signals and GUP. By it does hold the distinction of being the ONLY album for which when I went to a live show that I hoped they played a bunch of tunes off of the new album as opposed to neglecting the new album and saving time for the old classics (my first show was HYF) 3
DistantEarlySignals Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Song wise it's epic. Carnies, The Anarchist, BU2B, Wreckers, The Garden, Seven Cities, etc.... SO GOOD It's no Snakes and Arrows, but it's still absolutely fantastic. Edited September 30, 2015 by DistantEarlySignals 1
Xanadu Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Imo, its outstanding. I will say it did take several listens all the way through to truly appreciate it. Same with me. Yes, it's good.
Disk98 Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Yes, it is very good. It's their best album since Moving Pictures. 1
Geddy's Soul Patch Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 As much as I like to shit on it, it's a great album (with a couple clunkers). It's definitely worthy of being peeped by you
Geddy's Soul Patch Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Yes, it is very good. It's their best album since Moving Pictures. Absurd!
Pressure/Hopenosis Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 Great musical arrangements with HORRIBLY stuffed in, oddly timed lyrics. Would've been epic if the vocals flowed with the music. A few good songs with many opportunities if the lyrics are rewritten. But that's not gonna happen...

A few good songs with many opportunities if the lyrics are rewritten. But that's not gonna happen...It was voted album of the year by the American Shoehorn Association. While Neil had won numerous "Hornies" in the past for best lyricist, this was the group's first for AotY. Finally edged out Dream Theater! 4
TexMike Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) Just wondering as I haven't got round to it yet.... Should I bother?If you like heavier, guitar driven Rush (and especially if you like loud and overly compressed sounding recordings), then yes, you should bother and will probably love it. Edited October 1, 2015 by TexMike
x1yyz Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 It's one of, if not the, best Rush albums. 2
goose Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 It's one of the not best Rush albums.Agreed. 2
