Of course!

Finally, a completely sane and defensible review of a Rush album, all the way down to the song level. I knew you could do it, @MrK !

@Diesel 11, are you seriously re-reviewing all the Rush records after just doing a discography walk a couple of weeks ago? If you have meaningful score deltas then I’d be concerned about how volatile your opinions are. I was pretty generous with Hold Your Fire in my review. It’s an uneven...

@MrK is certainly delivering some piss-poor takes on these Rush albums. Wow. To each their own, I suppose…

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the general shape of your review scores was pretty similar to my own in the end. :ok: Didn’t expect that at all.
