Vapor Trails is good and Snakes & Arrows is decent, but Clockwork Angels was their best album since Signals or perhaps Grace Under Pressure. Absolutely gushing with creativity and passion

I can agree with that. I turned by back on Rush after the disappointing Presto and the deception that is Roll the Bones, but with Clockwork Angels they were back. After Signals, Grace under Pressure was a minor letdown (but still a good album in the context of 1984); only Hold Your Fire comes rather close.

Don't know 'Trails or 'Arrows. Do know that they'd have to be very good indeed to beat out 'Angels.

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.


Not a big fan of VT yet but I'll try to be patient with it. As for your last paragraph I mostly agree, however, I think "faithless" is rather nice(it grew on me) even though I'm not an atheist. I played it for my mom who is though and she liked it. There might be one or two others besides them that are ok but on my first few listens I didn't care much for it other than the ones you mentioned also.

Clockwork angels for me. They really managed to go out with a winner, not any band achieves such a thing.

Rush didn't make any bad albums in my opinion

Vapor Trails is my fave from these 3,
especially One Little Victory
Prog On!
