RUSH VOL 2stay away from the other greatest hits or chronicles sets, get this. if you don't have all of RUSH'S catalogue, or not a big enough fan to buy them all,buy RETROSPECTIVE 1,RETROSPECTIVE 2 AND RETROSPECTIVE 3.
Great stuff !
As all "Greatest hits" there is some missing tracks, for instance, where's "YYZ" or "The Manhatan project" ? . . but it is a great cd.
You got the essential of the band for this period, which was the best as far as I am concerned. .
Rush - 'Retrospective, Volume 2 - 1981-1987' (Mercury)
On this compilation,you get a few tracks from each of their following albums: 'Moving Pictures' ('81), 'Signals'('82), 'Grace Under Pressure'('84), 'Power Windows' ('85) and 'Hold Your Fire'('87). Pretty much for the 'casual' Rush fan that doesn't have maybe the space, cash or time to go out to purchase all their CD's individually. Some say this wasn't exactly the band's best era. But,hey! Everyone has right to their own opinion.
4.5 stars- Great compilation!!!
He or she wrote a bad review on this Rush retrospective and gave it only one star. Hey Enforcer,
Why are you putting down Rush and the Beatle's final album? You know who you are Enforcer (or enforcer of bad taste in music). You have terrible taste in music!!!! Rush and the Beatles are two of the greatest bands in rock and roll history!!!! I saw your reviews and you like people like Britney Speers and Pink!!!! That should make you a teenage girl or a fruity guy!!!! Take my advice and don't do any more reviews because you just ain't got any game, you numbscull!!!! .
Remarkable Retrospective
I'm not much of a Geddy Lee fan apart from being a great musician his voice is annoying, his talent and skills saved the band. Indeed very remarkable! All the songs here are hits, no dull track every track is on the attack. For this best of compilation I'm not complaining, moreover the songs here give me memories of my high school days and owning this cd transport me back in long lost lovable times. Only missing is "enemy within" I would have given this a 5 stars had they included that track.
