Worst Rush album of the 2nd era?

Hemispheres is the only album out of those four that i enjoy. I find the rest ever so slightly boring.

The use of the word worst has a very negative sound to it.  The 4 listed albums are 4 of my favorites with no "worst" among them.  Truly masterpieces.

A better poll would be which of the 4 albums are the best:  Moving Pictures.

Hemispheres is the weakest of a truly exceptional quartet, just.

No vote for me, they are all great albums.

There are no ''worst'' album among those listed above.

I can't seem to get into Moving Pictures like I get into the others. 

Moving Pictures. It is the least proggy and most overrated in my opinion. It's good but is nothing compared to the other 70's albums in this poll.

Geddy's vocals are annoying on Moving Pictures and the whole band sounds much more restrained on that album.

At least permanent waves has great epics like Natural Science and Jacob's ladder. I think after Permanent Waves Neil's lyrics started to go downhill.

I can't believe what a difficult poll this is!  I voted for A Farewell to Kings  solely because that's the one I've listened to the least!  :(  Though, I do have to admit that Permanent Waves to probably the least technical.

Oh, man, this is hard. I would have to go with Hemispheres... although I love it.

Most of use knows how the Rush albums could/should be categorized (Four studios, one live being an era). Second era is clearly the most "Proggiest" and many people concider this the best era of Rush. So that's why i am asking which of those four albums is the Worst, or if you do not want to use so agressive word you can tell us which you "Least Prefer". My Pick is Permanent Waves, greatcover but it seems to be a bit dull... Like a pale shadow of Moving Pictures. Only 2nd era album i don't listen to regulary. (If some of you who are "Not so much into Rush" ask this, Caress of steel and 2112 are not second era albums even though they are very progish)
