The Analog Cub Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Rush has never released an album that was bad from beginning to end. They've released bad songs but never a full album that was bad. Someone hasn't heard Presto, it seems... ;) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone hasn't heard Presto, it seems... ;)It's not the closest to reaching that criteria in my opinion. 5 stinky songs out of 11 and the production doesn't bother me at all. I would take it over the most recent productions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Rush has never released an album that was bad from beginning to end. They've released bad songs but never a full album that was bad. .. this was originally posted in 1980 At least I'm not stuck there like you. LOL excellent it's actually 1976I am more around 79'. For the most part all of the great material by all my favorite bands had been made by then. It was mostly with very few exceptions all downhill from there sadly... :codger: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DistantEarlySignals Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Totem isn't all that bad... I ignored it for the longest time, but recently I've really been digging it! Edited October 4, 2015 by DistantEarlySignals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Rush should have retired in 1987.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexMike Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Rush should have retired in 1987.... Because they should've known they'd never top Tai Shan? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnEggplant Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Rush should have retired in 1987.... And never put out Counterparts, Test for Echo, Vapor Trails, Snakes and Arrows, and especially Clockwork Angels? No thanks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's grown on me. :) It was the studio first album released after I became a fan (after Show of Hands) and my first show so I have a soft spot for it. I actually love the feel, sound and production of the album which is more than I can say for the fiasco which followed it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a lot of good to the music, I can't say I like the production though. The whole album just sounds faded and weak because of it. Roll the Bones is the only Rush album I genuinely dislike, but fortunately it was followed by the awesomeness that is Counterparts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GabesCavesOfIce Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 "In three months we will begin our 40th anniversary tour. Oh, and by the way, this will be your last chance ever to see Rush perform live ever again, except the other two are not allowing me to actually say this publicly. Only to Jack Black and Bard. We will be ignoring Europe, South America, also skipping many US markets, and playing only four shows where we have always sold our most tickets at the highest prices, in the northeast US. If 3 months isn't enough notice for our whiney, greedy fans not wanting us to retire without an extensive farewell tour as thanks to all of you who helped us earn wealth and fame beyond our wildest youthful dreams, eff off." .

Blue Barchetta Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 "Rivendell" is a good song that breaks up the otherwise hard rocking "Fly By Night" rather nicely. And here we go with this damn underlining bullshit again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnRogers Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Permanent Waves is an 80's album. Tom Sawyer is over rated. Tom Sawyer is the greatest Rush song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People usually give that accolade to Alex or Neil.I have been around here for two years now and that isn't the impression I have gotten anyway. I know there has been a poll or ten on the subject in the past but I ain't going to dig it/them up. I am pretty sure the majority at least think Ged is the most talented... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disk98 Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Vapor Trails is a masterpiece, and Earthshine is a better song than Hemispheres.Is that a popular or unpopular opinion around here? Sometimes its hard to tell... It's my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
