I agree, but I'm afraid that once again our scores contrast each other's: Dreamline - 9/10 Bravado - 8/10 Roll the Bones - 7/10 Face Up - 7/10 Where's My Thing? - 7/10 The Big Wheel - 9/10 Heresy - 6/10 Ghost of a Chance - 5/10 Neurotica - 8/10 You Bet Your Life - 5/10 Total: 71% "Dreamline"...

I don’t hate it, I just think it’s an average, kinda middling track. Like I said, not a big fan of the pan flute, and I don’t think the track really goes anywhere. The lyrics are cheesy but they don’t bother me. There are some decent moments; I kinda like the way Geddy sings the last line for...

Happy to say that Hold Your Fire has risen for me in my estimations. Force Ten - 8/10 Time Stand Still - 10/10 Open Secrets - 7/10 Second Nature - 4/10 Prime Mover - 7/10 Lock and Key - 6/10 Mission - 7/10 Turn the Page - 10/10 Tai Shan - 5/10 High Water - 9/10 Total: 73% “Time Stand Still”...

What the fuck.

I would go so far as to say the best single album side ever made. My updated scores are all 10’s except for a 9 for “The Camera Eye”. Unbelievably strong album. I’ve really come around to “Witch Hunt”. I find it downright chilling, especially because the lyrics resonate stronger today than...

Got to Power Windows myself today, here are the updated scores: The Big Money - 10/10 Grand Designs - 10/10 Manhattan Project - 9/10 Marathon - 9/10 Territories - 9/10 Middletown Dreams - 10/10 Emotion Detector - 9/10 Mystic Rhythms - 10/10 Total: 95% Love this album. The synths are so big...

Hemispheres might be the GOAT prog album of the ‘70s. I currently have every song bar “Circumstances” marked as a 10/10 (“Circumstances” being a 9). At this point it’s probably my favorite Rush album after Moving Pictures. Your score for Test for Echo is too high. :p

I don’t play guitar, so maybe Alex is doing really simple guitarwork across the album, but to me it sounds great and it sounds like he’s way more prominent than on Signals or GUP. “Territories” is a great example. It takes a hot second for him to come in, but when he does he steals the spotlight...

Nevermind scores or anything like that, these two points are hard for me to wrap my head around. Power Windows has so much energy from beginning to end I'm surprised anyone would call it "laidback". Not to mention Alex and Neil taking a backseat. Neil's drumming is huge all across this album...

Two of your worst takes ever. Will breakdown later.

Y’all are making me want to vote for her.

The second night is cheaper than the first. Prices have been fluctuating though.

To me, them locking in and playing off each other and doing their own individual things is why I love the prog stuff so much. And there are so many moments that you don’t expect them to jump into. Probably my favorite prog band, all told. The videos I’ve seen sound good, and Annika is killing...

It was going to be Iron Maiden before I re-caught the Rush bug. I’m thinking of giving each album another listen and seeing if any of my scores change before I post a recap in the Rush thread. I’m kinda interested in ranking the songs as well. We’ll see! My takeaway, since I was also reading...

Hater. :mad:
