I also prefer the late 70's and early 80's material but interestingly the album received 1226 rating votes and garnered 3.93 stars which is better than the previous 9 lps .
So apparently quite a few Rush fans liked it. |

I tried very hard to like this album, as so many had raved about it, but couldn’t get on with it at all….
Oh FFS, how do you delete a post when you realise you’ve already posted and said the same thing🤔😩🤣 Edited by essexboyinwales - 2 hours 3 minutes ago at 08:37 |

I never thought much of Clockwork Angles but I think even less of Clockwork Angels. When I saw the band in 2013 and they devoted half the show to this album I almost walked out. By a good way, their worst ever effort.

I haven't heard In the Hot Seat, but I didn't find Calling all Stations particularly bad. I didn't find it particularly good either, but it does have a pair of songs I enjoy... overall, I guess it's not even their worst album. |

I've never heard of the Clock Work Angles album, although I'm a relative latecomer to the music of Rush, having only become a fan since joining ProgArchives. Going off at a tangent, these are the eight Rush albums I've managed to acquire on CD so far, with Hemispheres just added yesterday. 1976: Rush - All the World's a Stage - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l-da6GMxte-wJ0DAVwdi-g57jGieFwEz8 1978: Rush - Hemispheres - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kELgPyKgsiZsDu5flHoFButD1XFxgc2NI 1980: Rush - Permanent Waves - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_npYplEYAmBcund-gpc3v65mDrsZ3T2KPg 1982: Rush - Signals - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nYHlxr0oUIx4SetgbtCY8jFTPv6Rh0p_o 1984: Rush - Grace Under Pressure - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kV4aoLdWbaONKNhQG-so_hd0haUQTyi18 1989: Rush - Presto - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kT76vxuvzQ6cuq3QeylCLVcCjl5QASiGc 1993: Rush - Counterparts - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kbCXmgFiIP-O_90qV9bzKycSvQImwpuhw 2010: Rush - Time Stand Still: The Collection

Well I suppose nothing can really be that bad in truth if it's made by actual musicians especially of the calibre of those on these albums. Both albums represent an artistic low for the respective band and are bankrupt of any decent ideas (I could say 'imo' but hardly anyone is likely to challenge). They are not badly played or badly produced though.

To be honest I am not sure I understand all the hatred for Calling All Stations. If it wasn't put out by Genesis I doubt everyone would be so hard on it. I'm not saying it's one of their best and it might even be their worst but I guess I just don't feel it's as awful as others think it is.

You need to approach it from the right angle.

I still like all these albums just not as much as Clockwork Angels. I never even heard ELP's In the Hot Seat but from what I understand it seems like that's probably one of the worst (if not the worst) final albums by a major prog band.

Given the error, his claim of Number1Rushfan must be taken with a grain of salt. Of course, I kid. I kid because I love. Always nice to have another Rush fan here

Do Not Disturb is an excellent album imo. I only like Godbluff and Pawn Hearts more. VDGG were kind of a samey sounding band most of the time although i like them.

^I think Civilian was a very good album. Better than 95% of any prog band or artist's final release.

Yep. It's better than Gentle Giant's Civilian although maybe that's not saying a whole lot. I'd say it's better than VDGG's Do Not Disturb (if that is indeed their last) also although again not saying a whole lot.

I wouldn't say it's their best album, but it was certainly a very strong album to finish their career. Not every band or artist gets to have such a strong last album.
