The best period in the career of Rush is from A Farewell to Kings to Signals. I abandoned Rush after the disappointing Presto and the deception that is Roll the Bones. However, Clockwork Angels was a return to form.

Rush is one of my favorite bands. I've been listening to them since 1974. "Clockwork Angels" is not my favorite Rush album but it is one of the best final albums by a band ever. And that is saying a lot for a band that has 19 studio releases.

I initially disliked them when I heard All The Worlds A Stage then I liked them about the time of Exit Stage Left (still have the original vinyl) then got bored with them around Power Windows then came back when they dropped the synths (Roll The Bones). Eventually stuck with them. Despite being the most overrated prog band in history (according to Andy Edwards) I generally regard them as one of the innovators of the genre. BTW I like Snakes and Arrows more than Clockwork Angels but there are no real stinkers.

Welcome to PA. This forum and site is pretty old school. Speaking of old school, Hemispheres is the album by Rush that has meant the most to me. That said, I would not object to thinking of Clockwork Angels as Rush's best album since the 80s. Rush did have a long period of clunkers for my tastes, but then I haven't been much of a Rush fan since the 80s.

I can tell that I don't like any other Rush album better.

quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

I’ve tried several times to appreciate Clockwork Angels, but have given up. Same with Power Windows. It’s the late 70s/very early 80s period that works for me….

Welcome to the club! Hope it's a good ride.
Totally dig Clockwork Angels - one of my favorite Rush albums. They really went out on a high note. The books are excellent, too ;-)

Just made my account! So happy to see a website like this in 2024!
Just wanted to say I've always thought Clock Work Angles is the best Rush album, what do you guys think?
