Topic: Best Rush album outside of the "Classic Era" Posted: May 10 2013 at 15:52 |
I defined "Classic Era" as the era in which the albums are consistently rated at around 4 stars, though there may be an album/albums that are lower within the selection.

Counterparts. What an album. Presto, Caress of Steel and Grace aren't too far behind though.

Hard not to go with Counterparts. It's the best one here.

Could be several of these, but there's a special place in my heart for Grace Under Pressure.

I love Rush's age of electric sound from 1981-1987, so out of these choices I'm picking GRACE UNDER PRESSURE.

GUP. Looks like I need to get Counterparts some day. After three disappointing albums in a row I never got that one.

Caress. It's so damn underappreciated.
