When that shuttle lifts of its a truly spinetingling triumphant moment for me! in hindsight listening now I think it sound even better! Vintage Rush




God, I love Signals, as my review of it attests. I am also heartbroken that so many fans see it as the start of the downfall, but that's their prerogative I guess. I don't think Geddy every played (bass) so well on an album. Just listen to his licks in THE ANALOG KID & DIGITAL MAN.

I honestly feel that Rush never have had a downfall at all...and Rush in Rio is a true testament to that.  I've never heard any band have their fans sing along to an INSTRUMENTAL.

They're still going strong in my opinion.

They're maturing as I am, we seem to be following the same time line. I really like the more cleaner, sharper sound they make now.

They've never fallen! I mean, some of the early 90s material wasn't absolutely amazing (compared to their late 70s/early 80s material), but it is still good! And when Vapor Trails came out, it was like a breath of fresh air. As long as Lifeson doesn't get thrown in the slammer, Rush isn't going anywhere soon.

I voted Power Windows. Grace Under Pressure, Rush's last great album. They went downhill with Power Windows.

Hold your Fire was one of Rush's greatest. A top 3 for me. Thats all i have to say about this ridiculous topic. Rush has never lost it.
Keep on Rocking in the free world.

RUSH GAVE SOME OF THE BEST PROG ALBUMS BACK ON THE 70'S AND EARLY 80'S.THEY DIDN'T RELEASED SOMETHING THAT GREAT AFTER GRACE (EXCEPT COUNTERPARTS WHICH IS SIMPLY GREAT) BUT NONE OF THEIR ALBUMS LACKED IN INTLIGENCE UNIQUE STYLE AND CREATIVITY.

CAN ANYONE NAME A BAND WITHOUT WEAK MOMENTS? AFTER ALL THE INFERIOR RUSH ALBUMS SOUND BETER THAN THE POP ALBUMS GENESIS OR YES RELEASED.

OR CAN YOU TELL ME A BAND THAT GAVE 5 MASTERPICES IN A ROW (2112 TO MOVING PICTURES)?

AND FINALY THEY NEVER STOPED TO INSPIRE NEW GROUPS NOT ONLY FOR THEIR 70'S ERA.

i believe that their last GREAT album was grace under pressure....but they never recorded a crap (with the exception of power windows)...albums like hold your fire, test for echo, roll the bones and counterparts are too good to be called craps.

i've liked all rush albums. I think Vapour Trails is a very heavy album for them and it makes a slight change.
