prolix Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Mine is a tie between GUP and PoW. The first side of GUP is so great and the second side is also solid. PoW just speaks to me for some reason. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Analog Cub Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Stuff like this belongs in the Feedback section, just FYI. But far and away, Grace Under Pressure. Fantastic album. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbobby10 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Signals, perfect album from beginning to end. P/G would be a close second 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Normally I would say Hold Your Fire. But bar Rd Lenses, Grace Under Pressure is easily my favourite Rush album! The inclusion of Red Lenses really affects my enjoyment of the album, it disrupts the streak of perfection. And yes, I know HYF has Tai Shan and High Water. I love those songs.

ru_ready Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) For what it's worth, I have to say GUP also, with that said thou, I fell out of the loop with the band and only heard what was air played after GUP, with GUP being the last album ever purchased as a serious fan. Never losing the love of the band prior to gup, and the songs that were played IE roll the bones, Show don't tell, superconductor, Force ten, time stand still. << those songs never inspired me to go out and buy another album. cheers After thought, if it was a best of, i take signals better than gup.

J2112YYZ Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Oh, this question again. That's never been asked on here before ;) GUP is my pick. Alex's guitar mixed in best with the synths on this one then it did on the next two. Making the overall sound more enjoyable for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Power Windows sounded fine but it was venturing into the "less guitar" territory that HYF had. Grace Under Pressure has all the spontaneous energy that 2112 had. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 There isn't any synth-era album that I dislike, but Hold Your Fire is the crown jewel, easily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 There isn't any synth-era album that I dislike, but Hold Your Fire is the crown jewel, easily.Agreed. But it would have an equal in GUP if I could either delete or get the band to redo just ONE song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimsonmistymemory Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I like them all, but Signals, Grace Under Pressure & Hold Your Fire would be my top 3 followed by Power Windows. And that is of course depending on what my mood is :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRogers Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Signals is not Synth Era IMO it is the end of Broon. Grace starts the Synth Era. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Of the four (yes, four) synth-era album, P/G is the one I'll leave in the car audio rotation the longest. I enjoy all four, but tire of the other three fairly quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
