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:

I appreciated all of the comments!

Rush Clockwork Angels (2012) 1. Caravan - The murky sounds of a darkened shore, not of sea, but of space, set your mind in anticipation before Rush come STORMING out of the gates that held them back. “Caravan” fucking rocks. That riff is a scorcher and sets the scene for Geddy to lay out the...

Rush Snakes & Arrows (2007) 1. Far Cry - What an opener! For the first time in a long time, Rush sound fired up. It’s the first classic-sounding track since Roll the Bones, complete with groovy riffs, tricky tempos, and even a jangly guitar strum that sounds like it’s taken directly from...

RIP Still Life

Nah, for me upgrading TFF leg 2 is finding room for “Isle of Avalon”. Maybe “The Alchemist” too.

Afraid to Dhoot Dtrangers?

Out of the Cradle slander is crazy. It’s a delightful song.

Do you have a good link for it?

A lot of it is down to repeat listens I think. Rush didn’t just stop being good writers after Power Windows, but leaving prog behind was a big mistake IMO. They thought they were progressing as songwriters but in reality they were starting to settle into a box almost unthinkable in their early...
