goose Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Geddy said it best...sometimes people like crap. hence CA'S large fanbase, lol MickBigger than f***ing HYF or Presto, for sure. The Masses are often wrong. Mick Mick is wrong about CA. its not the masterpiece some people make it out to be but it is very good. Very very good. It is a MASTERPIECE, dont ever lose sight of that :rush:CA is a PIECE alright...I'll give u that Never got the CA love.....the albums been out eight years now, lol. Even Average spits on it. MickHas it really been eight years? Wow... It's been three...Eight since S&AWell...that makes more sense. I was feeling like Rip Van Winkle.

The Analog Cub Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Even 8 years since Snakes and Arrows seems like forever ago. I like most of what synth era has to offer. It churned out of their greatest albums ever in Grace Under Pressure. Signals is also great. Hold Your Fire has like 4 good songs and Power Windows is mostly good. Then you have that shitcake Presto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 I love the synth era... great bass lines, great vocal melodies, some really memorable guitar parts. Oh yeah, and the synths. They add a texture and expand the Rush vocabulary to where we can really see the abundant talent and musicality of this legendary trio. I agree with this...and I'll say it was most successfully and singularly achieved on Hold Your Fire. The production values on that album are firmly rooted in the time during which it was made- really still the mid '80s, leaning toward the late '80s...but Alex has plenty of moments to shine, in conjunction with the synths...the separation of all the instruments is very clear, and balanced, so that none really dominates over another. And the drumming on HYF is also stupendous. It's not often recognized as a high point for Professor Peart, but I really think it is. (I know that our friend Earl agrees with me, anyway). Hold Your Fire is, for me, the pinnacle of Rush's achievements. It is easy to miss out in the nuances and emotional depths on display, but a really close listen reveals the best drumming I have yet to hear from Peart, the lyrics are truly beautiful, and Geddy is just on top form vocally, and stayed that way on Presto. HYF is the one album of Rush that I find most easy to give a perfect rating. I love each and every song, I couldn't even pick out a highlight amongst all them highlights! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRogers Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Considering I find Permanent Waves the band's ultimate work followed by MP and my love for the Golden 70's I play HYF more often than most might think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke1 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Some great live tracks from this era... Subdivisions, Analog Kid, Distant Early Warning, Between the Wheels, Marathon, Manhattan Project, Force 10, Mission... I've always thought that these came across fantastic in a live setting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
