Did not expect this to be the Knick-certified Rush record…

I was literally reading this on Wikipedia shortly before you posted that! I was like whaaaat? Cross between Yes and the Police would’ve made more sense lol.

Rush Power Windows (1985) 1. The Big Money - Welcome to Corporate America. Synthesizers rise like skyscrapers. Guitars sparkle like casinos. Drums hit you on all sides, just like your bank statements after being sucked into this world of "The Big Money". It's an incredible intro, and it gets...

Promoted to the Finals: Killers - 30 points Promoted to Round 2: "Run to the Hills" - 20 points "Sanctuary" - 14 points Eliminated from the Tournament: "The Wicker Man" [alt. US promo] - 2 points "From Here to Eternity" - 0 points Donington Live 1992 - 0 points Round 1: Ladder 10 Halfway...

Rush Grace Under Pressure Tour (2009) Finally a great live album from Rush. This record is a bit short, but it absolutely transports you right to 1984. Geddy's voice is a little weaker, but it doesn't matter because the energy is all there. "Spirit of Radio" rocks where the Exit... Stage Left...

Rush Grace Under Pressure (1984) 1. Distant Early Warning - A sweeping slow rise with static and dust bowl winds rolls through with subtle vibes before Geddy's keyboard lights up and lets loose a bombastic staccato riff that sounds a bit like a warning alert, albeit more melodic. Unlike the...

Rush Signals (1982) 1. Subdivisions - A floating, airy synth riff hovers like a film camera from an overhead chopper. When it rises, it feels like the high rise of skyscrapers; when it falls, it feels like the cold, cramped confines of the suburbs. Geddy’s voice is similarly light, rolling with...

Rush Exit... Stage Left (1981) Better songs and energy on this one than All the World's a Stage, but unfortunately worse sound. The guitar is mixed quieter than the bass, which means that a lot of the little details that I love in the studio versions of these songs have become muffled. "Spirit...

Not at all surprised to see Killers winning this by a landslide. Curious to see how far it’ll go. Dunno if it’s time to start placing bets on the winner of the game or not. My prediction is one of the following: — Killers — TNOTB — Powerslave — LAD — SiT — SSOASS The problem is I have no idea...

3 Killers +3 2 "Run to the Hills" +2 1 "Sanctuary" +1 0 "From Here to Eternity" 0 "The Wicker Man" [alt. US promo] 0 Donington Live 1992 Pretty stacked compared to last round. I do like the US promo photo for "The Wicker Man" and I've used it as an avatar a lot. Sadly it's just up against...

Promoted to the Finals: "Aces High" - 23 points Promoted to Round 2: "Fear of the Dark (Live)" - 19 points "The Angel and the Gambler" [alt. picture disc] - 10 points Eliminated from the Tournament: Maiden Japan [alt.] - 6 points "Wrathchild" [Japan] - 2 points "Futureal" - 0 points Round...

I didn’t see that, that’s why I didn’t understand what your post was about this morning. I thought you were just going off the rails for no reason lol.

What are you talking about

10 "Fear of the Dark (Live)" +2 8 "Aces High" +3 4 "The Angel and the Gambler" [alt. picture disc] 1 Maiden Japan [alt.] 1 "Wrathchild" [Japan] +1 0 "Futureal" Kinda like the "Wrathchild" photo with the Eddie behind the drumkit.

Apologies if the updates are becoming sporadic, chalk it up to moving + Christmas etc. I do want to continue this till the end! Promoted to the Finals: "The Final Frontier" - 26 points Promoted to Round 2: "The Wicker Man" - 23 points "Virus" [alt. 1] - 7 points Eliminated from the...
