Segue Myles Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Power Windows does have two songs I like more than any on GUP: Grand Designs and Marathon. Otherwise, from the cover art to the weakest track, I love everything on GUP to death more than PoW. I would take Red Lenses over Big Money any day. And although I at least like every song on PoW, I love everything on GUP (yes, even Red Lenses). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnRogers Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 The Big Money, Manhattan Project, Marathon are songs I enjoy as much as Huckleberry Finn or Limelight. The rest is great as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanMeanPride Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 yes!! I want in on this PoW love fest! When I was 13 my dad introduced me to Power Windows. I was in a "Rush family," so I already knew all the hits but I hadn't experienced certain albums as a whole. I remember my dad listening to the album every time we drove somewhere for what seemed like months. I got very familiar with all of the songs, even the lesser known gems like Grand Designs and Emotion Detector. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I consider PoW to be one of those Rush albums with no tracks worth skipping. Like Moving Pictures, I can just put it on and let it go. So much fine drumming on this album. The drumming during Alex's 7/8 solo in Marathon is fantastic, Big Money of course is groove city, and Mystic effing Rhythms!!!!! Those Tama drums just SING! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexMike Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Big fan of PoW as well. Not quite top 5 for me, but I agree that it's consistent enough to listen through without skipping anything (which I can't say for many records that came after it). Marathon has always been a fave, but since seeing them play it on CA tour, Grand Designs has become my most played track. Overall, an impressively arranged and produced Rush album.

I don't even hate Grace though it is a lesser one for me. In fact I can't think of any band I love making an album that I hate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddy's Soul Patch Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Power Windows...what an album :smoke: Amazing textures, impeccable song craft, and each member managed to capture a unique aspect of how they can play the instrument.It was really the last album that Geddy totally went to town on bass throughout the whole album; he rips it up, especially on The Big Money and Emotion Detector.I think I was the only vote for PoW in the best drum album thread. Some incredibly technical playing from Neil. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
