Roll The Bones. For me, it's mostly sleep inducing. Dreamline rocks though.

They lost me after Permanent Waves. There are some good songs here and there, but IMHO they never rose to great heights in their later albums, which to me are all uneven.

My least favorites are Test for Echo, Roll The Bones, and Presto.....I'm not a huge fan but I do like the earlier ones like most people.

That's true. I have neither a favourite Rush album, nor a least favourite Rush album. They all sound the same to me, including the seven Rush albums I own on CD. Smile

Maybe not, but among what I consider to be the worse Rush albums, it's particularly down to Test for Echo and Vapor Trails.

A friend told me that the Vapor Trails 1013 remix was a huge improvement on the original.  Is it?  I haven't heard either. Wink

I'll be honest, to these ears, literally all the tracks sound the same. If I played say Counterparts, at any point I would know what track I was listening to and indeed roughly how far thru the track. Put VT on and I could be anywhere on the album... every time I hear it (and I bought it when it was first released) within a couple of tracks, I have zoned out and lost interest; it's a complete mess.

I don't know what the worst Rush album is.  I stopped purchasing Rush albums after "Power Windows".  I don't know how or when...but I ended up with copies of Presto and Counterparts.  I'd like to backtrack and purchase the picks of the litter from the "Hold Your Fire" to "Clockwork Angels" multi-decade period.   I don't wish to wade through bottom-dwelling swill.   I have never seen a consensus opinion on the worst Rush.
