09. Anagram (For Mongo)
10. Hand Over Fist
11. Red Tide

Anagram has been sent out. Still seeing a fair spread of the votes across the album! It gets a bit tougher for me going forward, but I think I'll go with either Superconductor or War Paint.

War paint

I have a feeling I'm going to be all alone for the rest of this album.   Because I honestly love almost all of these songs except one that I'm just kinda meh on.

Show Don't Tell

I don't know how Superconductor has made it this far.  Hand Over Fist and Anagram, and War Paint, are all way better.

What's with the hate for War Paint?  I've always enjoyed that song.

I'm not sure it's hate, but I do not get how folks think songs like Scars and Superconductor (much less HoF) are better.

Posting my ranking early:

1. Chain Lightning
2. The Pass
3. Available Light
4. War Paint
5. Presto
6. Superconductor
7. Scars
8. Show Don't Tell




9. Anagram (For Mongo)
10. Hand Over Fist
11. Red Tide

EDIT - I accidentally flipped Scars and SDT...though to be fair, those two can switch places on any given day.  Those were the only two I had difficulty deciding which should be 7 and which should be 8.

Posting my ranking early:

I'm just gonna put this out there:

Sure, why not (IDNDT and I have the same top 3):

1. Available Light (my candidate for most underrated Rush song and almost certainly a top 3 post-Signals song)
2. Red Tide (really surprised to see it go out first)
3. The Pass
4. War Paint
5. Presto
6. Show Don't Tell (hearing this as the lead single was a clear signal that Rush was moving in a better direction from the prior three albums)
7. Chain Lightning
8. Anagram (lyrically clever, but not strong)
9. Superconductor (if ever there was a song that was killed by its chorus, this is it)
10. Scars (Rush's attempt to get into the dance clubs?  last gasp of the "synth era"?)
11. Hand Over Fist (most embarrassing Rush song)

It's not hate.  It's LEAST FAVORITE!!
