It's been a while but here's another poll that I just thought of. I'm pretty sure I did the first three at one point so here's the last three.

I haven't listened to them in a very long time, might vote when/if I revive them a bit.
Not my "to go to" Rush albums when I'm in the mood for some Rush.

^ Same for me. They lost me a bit after the Grace Under Pressure album. I listened to all their output since but none of their albums convinced me as much as their work before 1985. But from these three, my preferred one is Clockwork Angels.

Vapor Trails. Some Rush fans hate this album, but I've always had a soft spot for it. If I were to play a Rush album right now, out of these three it would be VT.

Totally dig Clockwork Angels (and the books). It spends more time on the turntable than VT and S&A.

Snakes & Arrows. I love the fact that it's got 3 instrumentals. Vapor Trails is very energetic and an exciting comeback, but its production robs much of its charm. I prefer the remixed version. Clockwork Angels is actually near the bottom of their whole discography. With the exception of Caravan and BU2B, I haven't been able to find a melody I can consider unforgettable.

Snakes and Arrows. Purely personal preference at this point of time.

I'm not a big fan of it. In fact I probably prefer test for echo. However, I admit I need to listen to it more.

I went just as easily for S&A, best (but not better) album since Moving Pictures Only heard Trails twice, both times catching a migraine , because of the incredibly bad production job. |

Clockwork Angels. It's their best album in years. S&A was ok.
Tbh, when I listen to Rush it's rarely anything recorded after Power Windows, with the occasional exception of Presto. |

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I tried to get into these albums, but after a few spins I lost all interest.

I guess Snakes & Arrows. I don't know, something happened with them that I didn't dig towards the end. I found the production on these to be very muddy & grungy ( for lack of a better word), especially the guitar parts. It seemed like a lot of people liked these albums because they were heavier then some of the previous ones but none of these really worked for me. (although they did have some moments)

I could easily pick any of them. S&A has great songs with 3 instrumentals and fantastic lyrics. CA is a wonderful journey, totally dig the theme/concept and steampunk is bitchin'.
Vapor Trails is my pick though. Sentimental reasons mainly with the return of Neil Peart and Rush back to the touring road and making great music again. VT is hard, raw and filled with power and angst. The less than appealing mix of the original version fits the theme, the album is all in your face..One Little Victory says it all.

Not a massive fan of any of them tbh. Tried many times to get into Clockwork Angels but it's not happening, something about the production/compression/volume that makes it hard to listen to for me.

Copy that! I love Vapor Trails. It knocked me out of my chair from first listen and I still think it's their best of the last three. This may come as a shock, but IMHO, Snakes & Arrows is uneven. Outside the fantastic instrumentals and "Far Cry," it doesn't call to me. |
