I still like all these albums just not as much as Clockwork Angels. I never even heard ELP's In the Hot Seat but from what I understand it seems like that's probably one of the worst (if not the worst) final albums by a major prog band.

You need to approach it from the right angle.

To be honest I am not sure I understand all the hatred for Calling All Stations. If it wasn't put out by Genesis I doubt everyone would be so hard on it. I'm not saying it's one of their best and it might even be their worst but I guess I just don't feel it's as awful as others think it is.

Well I suppose nothing can really be that bad in truth if it's made by actual musicians especially of the calibre of those on these albums. Both albums represent an artistic low for the respective band and are bankrupt of any decent ideas (I could say 'imo' but hardly anyone is likely to challenge). They are not badly played or badly produced though.

I've never heard of the Clock Work Angles album, although I'm a relative latecomer to the music of Rush, having only become a fan since joining ProgArchives. Going off at a tangent, these are the eight Rush albums I've managed to acquire on CD so far, with Hemispheres just added yesterday. 1976: Rush - All the World's a Stage - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l-da6GMxte-wJ0DAVwdi-g57jGieFwEz8 1978: Rush - Hemispheres - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kELgPyKgsiZsDu5flHoFButD1XFxgc2NI 1980: Rush - Permanent Waves - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_npYplEYAmBcund-gpc3v65mDrsZ3T2KPg 1982: Rush - Signals - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nYHlxr0oUIx4SetgbtCY8jFTPv6Rh0p_o 1984: Rush - Grace Under Pressure - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kV4aoLdWbaONKNhQG-so_hd0haUQTyi18 1989: Rush - Presto - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kT76vxuvzQ6cuq3QeylCLVcCjl5QASiGc 1993: Rush - Counterparts - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kbCXmgFiIP-O_90qV9bzKycSvQImwpuhw 2010: Rush - Time Stand Still: The Collection

I haven't heard In the Hot Seat, but I didn't find Calling all Stations particularly bad. I didn't find it particularly good either, but it does have a pair of songs I enjoy... overall, I guess it's not even their worst album. |
