Rush's Counterparts album is one of the greatest comeback albums in Rock history. The 80's era Rush from Signals through to Hold Your Fire really divided fans. I happen to love the 80's era Rush. I will even go as far to say that I like it as much as the Golden 70's period. Presto and Roll the Bones however seem to be stuck in this artistic purgatory transition. The albums are trying to be more guitar oriented Rock but it's not really working. The production sounds thin and it comes off being super light weight and ineffective. It sounds like the band pulled out all the keyboards and what was left was a really quiet trio mix. I'm sure these two albums have their fans and I do admit that I liked them more when they came out, but I really don't find much to like about them now, especially Roll The Bones. Counterparts however is an amazing Hard Rock album. When I first heard Stick It Out I got really excited about Rush again. Arguably Counterparts is the greatest sounding Rush album in the entire discography.

The guitar solo in Cut To The Chase is the first major Shred solo we've heard from Lifeson since the early 80's. Not only is it technically impressive but it's extremely melodic and dream-like at the same time. It doesn't even sound like Lifeson which is even more impressive. Lifeson is so stylistically diverse he comes off sounding like multiple players. Rick Beato just recently included this solo as #14 on his list of the Top 20 strangest guitar solos of all time. His main reason for inclusion was that it doesn't sound like Alex.
