Around the mid-2000s (R30 and S&A), I felt that they were just in it for the money and their music was downhill since TFE.Īll that being said, returning to the main subject, Presto was OK, a little boring (fell asleep on the first listen), and Roll The Bones was better (for my tastes). The last live album that had a good mix and mastering was Different Stages and after that, they were saturated messes (like their studio albums). Saturated mess (Vapor Trails to Clockwork Angels - their most uninspired material).Loud (Counterparts and Test For Echo, their last good album for my taste).Thin (Grace Under Pressure to Roll The Bones - Steinberger and Wal basses, lots of synths and electronic drums).Balanced (Permanent Waves to Signal - their best period in my opinion).For mix and mastering, I've separated it in several periods: I have all their studio albums and several live albums (and no compilations) and I have seen them live four times. I was a die hard fan of Rush until Snakes & Arrows came out (got the MVI DVD). I can only imagine what they could have achieved if the great Neil Peart was still with us.Įveryone has their favorites. Roll The Bones is the album I most sing along to. I like and play all their albums but those are the albums I play more-so than the others in their catalog. My favorites and most listened to in their catalog are: Moving Pictures From then on, I purchased every single Rush album going forward except for Presto, which I didn’t get until sometime in the early 2000’s. I purchased that album because I heard the song, The Spirit Of Radio, off the radio and thought it was kick-ass. I started purchasing Rush records in 1980 with Permanent Waves. What’s funny, being older (it actually started in my 40’s’), I now prefer his voice during those earlier albums. Though, I did like the title track 2112 okay. I just couldn’t get into them at the time because I hated Geddy’s screaming singing voice. They used to play all their albums up to that point in their career with 2112. Funkmaster Flex & Big Kap - The Tunnel (2xLP, Comp, Promo) Label: Def Jam Recordings Cat: DEF 398-1 Media Condition: Media: Very Good Plus (VG+) Will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. ![]() I first heard Rush, through my friends, while in my late teens, early twenties. Now, I can appreciate the songs on the album. Last year, I dusted it off and played it again. Only after listening to it twice when I first purchased it when it was released, I buried it in my Rush pile of discs, never to play it again. Shop the 1999 US Vinyl release of The Tunnel by Funkmaster Flex & Big Kap at Discogs. I used to not like Snakes and Arrows until I played the 5.1 version again last year. It’s not a bad album (is there a bad Rush record?), it’s just my least favorite and listened to, in their catalog. My least favorite Rush album has been Test For Echo.
