Almost a pun, but hopefully a better poll? The ratings show it to be a bit one-sided but you either love "Zeit" or hate it really, so might be interesting. Both very underrated albums in my opinion, and 2 very different albums: released almost 20 years apart, one made up of cosmic minimal electronic improvisations, the other a structured heavy sound. "Zeit" just about takes it for me, being a low 5-star, but "Presto" is still one of Rush's best 80s albums, and a solid 4-star for me. Looking forward to what you guys think! I've posted the ratings and album covers below in case you're curious Smile

Presto - 3.14 of 578 ratings
Zeit - 3.65 of 227 ratings

Despite Rush being my favourite band i'd pick Zeit over Presto everytime.

Presto is one of my favorite Rush albums, and vastly underrated.

Definitely that one.

I actually quite like Presto. IMO Rupert Hine did a great job producing Presto.
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution
