What is Rush's worst album?

Love Beach sets a very low benchmark

If forced to choose, I'm not really fond of the debut.  It's too much standing in Led Zeppelin's shadow. All the other albums are at least great, which is a testament to just how incredible and creative this group was. Word....For me if my life depended in it would be Test For Echo, but only because I don't spin it that often. Mr Skeletor, any new music coming out??  Yes! Ten new songs this year.  Just need the sports season to wind down. I gave up teaching and I'm now a sports editor.  Once the lazy days of baseball get underway, I can finish the new project.  It is called, Moments Between Light. That title is very cool .....Keep us posted on the release date. I assume you will have a release party with beer and chocolate cake??  I still play Refulgence....

Very little to no deep end from Neil's kick drum, even though mastered by Bob Ludwig I think it suffers from that late 80s digital recording and spars code of DDD, too sterile. I saw that tour in 1990 in Maryland, the big blow up bunnies ala Pink Floyd was kinda goofy for Rush.  And yes, quite boring around here......

The Audio Fidelity SACD from Steve Hoffman and Stephan Marsh is absolutely sublime. You’re right though. Original Redbook CD release is a touch thin. It is dynamic but not as punchy as it could’ve been. Marsh and Hoffman fix that Tenfold. It is amazing. Sadly those discs from from them go for 100’s of dollars now.
