They did include the Ripper albums in their full discography boxset not too long ago. Idk if you can get them separately though.

Ah so he has heard Jugulator. Talk about the opposite of a painkiller, that one’s a painbringer.

cool… well I hope someone else nominates Bruce songs cuz I made my list without and I’m already dying thinking of what to leave off lol.

Does this also discount their solo discographies?

Powerslave is perfect. It has the best songwriting, the most intense energy, the best performances from all involved, and the “fillers” are just as good as the “classics”. Every song is a 10. It’s the pinnacle of Maiden’s classic career and no wonder things began to change afterwards. It can’t...

Powerslave

Iron Maiden return to the stage in 2028 with an "Evening with..." format. Inspired by Metallica, they do two concerts in each city with completely different setlists on each night. Inspired by Rush, they have two sets and each night they play the entirety of two of their most beloved albums -...

I dunno man, a cool riff is a cool riff. And to be clear, I don't love the song, it's easily the worst on the album, but even then it's only a 6/10 for me. I think the big thing with Caress is that it still sounds like classic Rush to me. And I love classic Rush.

The only album (so far) with no change in the scores whatsoever: A Farewell to Kings - 8/10 Xanadu - 10/10 Closer to the Heart - 10/10 Cinderella Man - 7/10 Madrigal - 8/10 Cygnus X-1 Book I: The Voyage - 8/10 Total: 86% This for me is the start of Rush's peak. 2112 and Caress had missteps...

I got a bit to unpack here! My new scores only really readjusted which songs were 8's: Show Don't Tell - 7/10 Chain Lightning - 8/10 The Pass - 8/10 War Paint - 7/10 Scars - 7/10 Presto - 7/10 Superconductor - 7/10 Anagram (for Mongo) - 6/10 Red Tide - 8/10 Hand Over Fist - 4/10 Available...

Lol no. I think it's a good album that rarely becomes great and some songs I almost wanted to add a decimal to the score. "Hand Over Fist" is the only song there that I actively don't care for. It's a passive album compared to the more active ones Rush made before.

I’ve been listening to Rush pretty much non stop since I began the reviews with only a few breaks in between. Some songs didn’t jump out at me at first. For instance, I gave “Hemispheres” a 9 last year, but since then it’s been one of the songs I’ve been most obsessed with and I realized after...

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
