I might prefer Counterparts over TFE musically, but TFE is my first Rush album so it's always been something special for me.

Allthough i love all of them i have to say that the counterparts album is propably the best from those three..Maybe because Roll the bones is 'pop' enought and Test for echo is a bit less inspired..

It has to be Counterparts, there is some excellent songwriting on this one. RTB has some great songs and some so-so. T4E is a good album, but doesn't flow well for me. Although in Neil's book, he states that Test For echo is his drum masterpiece.

In college (around 1996 or 1997), a friend asked me to listen to Test For Echo.  I took it home and popped it in and made it to the 3rd song before I turned it off.  It was an odd attempt at sounding more metal but with boring riffs played over and over and a muddy sound.

Counterparts blows both RTB and TFE out of the water.  Peart's drum sound on RTB is way too thin and snappy.  Other than Driven and Totem, Test's songs are uninspired afterthoughts. 

To a point, T4E is throwaway...but I gave it three stars based on the fact that SOME of it IS catchy.  You're right though; most of it is sh*t.

ROLL THE BONES: (Fantastic all the way around)

COUNTERPARTS:  (Great songs hampered by poor mixing)

TEST FOR ECHO:  (Nail-biting hoodboys...WHAT?)

All of them are great but Test For Echo takes it
