You Bet Your Life

The first album of the 90s, and it feels like the natural progression from HYF-Presto. But like those two albums, this one always feel a bit of a mixed bag for me as well. Some great tunes, but some that are just OK Rush songs. This is probably my least listened to album of the Atlantic Years (Presto to Clockwork Angels). This album is also another case of where the songs sound MUCH better played live than they do on the album.

-Marc.

Although there are several songs I don't care for on this.

Outside of a few tracks, this album sucks.

Neurotica...but could've easily said Face Up. They had to know these songs were crap when they recorded them, right?

I echo everyone's thoughts so far.   This is Rush's only bad album.  There are easily 4 songs here that are among the worst they've ever recorded.   

I'm voting You Bet Your Life...but I would be fine with Face Up, Neurotica, or Heresy all going.

Lots of good candidates for worst song on Rush's worst album.  I'll go for the title track, but there are no deserving songs on this album.

I still think this is a good album overall, but there are as many average tracks as there are great ones.

The title track must be killed with fire.
