Got an idea for some polls. I post two albums from a band's discography, one halfway through their career and their most recent. If they have an even number of albums, 'midway' will be the middle one rated closest to 'today'.

RUSH
Midway: Grace Under Pressure
Today: Clockwork Angels

Vote for your favourite.

Grace under Pressure marked the start of the decline.
Clockwork Angels marked the return to their old form.
 
So...

Clockwork Angels for me. As much I love Grace Under Pressure, it's so much more complete as an album and has more great songs on there (especially the first 5 tracks + The Garden) Big smile

Grace is an outstanding album while Clockwork Angels is simply ok. (I really dislike the production sound)

Clockwork Angels of course. The best thing they have done since Moving Pictures.

P/G is among their best. Clockwork Angels is a good, fun album, but it's by far the most simplistic album they've put out in years

I think Grace is what they do best--big hard rock songs with a chorus and verse and catchy riffs---as a full on heavy prog band Yes' Gates or Sound Chaser is more interesting to meWink

Enjoyed Clockwork Angels more than I expected, but Grace Under Pressure might just be my favourite from them.

I enjoy GUP a great deal but consider Clockwork Angels a masterpiece.

They're about equal in my book, but I think I'll give the edge to GUP. The deciding factor was Between the Wheels.

Great poll idea, btw! Thumbs Up

Not really a fair comparison as Clockwork is a great modern record but Grace is simply a sublime work from start to end.
