Abbey Road? I mean, even if you aren't a big fan of Yellow Submarine or Magical Mystery Tour, how can you say freaking Abbey Road is a comedown from Sgt Pepper's? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] demesisx@infosec.pub 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 months ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] pantyhosewimp@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) Metallica - Master of Puppets Thank you for correcting the original poster on this one.

They did like 4-5 excellent albums after that. Personally if I were to rank Rush albums, I'd put Farewell to Kings above 2112, maybe hemispheres too if only for La Villa Strangiatto. Not that I don't love 2112, but relative to the other albums in that streak I think it's a little tiny bit overrated permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago Agreed. Peak Rush is Hemispheres (Circumstances is possibly the best rock song ever written) for me, but really I love almost everything from Fly by Night to Grace Under Pressure. That's 8 albums I can easily listen to front-to-back. Whelp. As I typed I realized I forgot about Caress of Steel. I suppose that says something... permalink fedilink source parent [–] batmaniam@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Man, if you liked deloused I get why you'd be disappointed by what comes after, but Francis the Mute is something else. It's structured way different, it's a damn opera, but 20 years on that is my all time favorite album. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) Do you like guitars?
