		During its recording, guitarist Alex Lifeson wanted the album to be more hard rock-oriented, while bassist Geddy Lee was content with their recent excursions in melodic pop.
		Lifeson must have won the battle, because COUNTERPARTS is a harder-rocking affair than Rush's previous several albums.
		COUNTERPARTS contains at least one track that deals with a topical issue (as in 1989's anti-suicide "The Pass", etc.)--"Nobody's Hero" is Rush's analysis of the AIDS situation.

		Lyrically, the album also continues the evolution of previous records-- Neil Peart's early albums were fantasy/science fiction influenced, often allegorical or parable.
		The past few Rush albums began to show a trend of lyrics with a much more personal bent, this album continues that trend-- themes largely of love and relationship dominate the album, and even the more globally minded songs ("Nobody's Hero") have a personal slant to the lyrics.
		Counterparts is one of Rush's best albums, almost up there with the stuff from their classic period.

		Counterparts is definitely one of Rushs finest albums.
		I also agree that the lyrics on this album are among Pearts best.
		I feel that this is probably overall the best rock album that I have ever purchased.

		Even though the album shares the same thin sound (though not quite as bad) as Presto, it more than makes up for it with 8 terrific songs, though the other 2 songs are really weak and hurt the album a little bit.
		Geddy's bass work is stellar (though I dislike the sound he was still using on this album), and I loved the single bar of 5/4 they threw in after the 2nd "chorus" section just to throw people off who might try to dance to this song.
		It might have been due to the fact that it was the first album they had tried to start stripping the walls-of-keyboards that had clogged their mid-80's material and they hadn't quite gotten used to a more organic sound yet.

	THE MACK : SOUTH: FROM HERE ON IN
		The album opens ominously with "Broken Head I," a dramatic and driving instrumental track that sounds like the perfect backdrop for an upcoming Star Wars light-saber battle; the track is all thunderous drums, teeth-jarring bass and maniacal keyboard loops.
		The rest of the album, for better or worse, comes across as rather tame compared to the three break-beat instrumentals that pop up at the beginning, middle and end.
		Judging by the album's promising bright spots, and with strong connections to an innovator like Lavelle, the safe bet is that South's future is looking, well, north.

		To be honest we know we have fans there but the album sales and interest in promoters is seriously lacking in Europe.
		We were very sensitive with the album as it was and here it was in all kinds of horrible shapes and sounds and it was a real crime and shame what happened but what can you do?
		Let there be some kind of number to be shown that your album is indeed selling and moving units.

	Thy Majestie "Hastings 1066" - www.ezboard.com
		The album starts with a beautiful intro, with choirs so powerful that they send shivers down my spine each and every time I listen to it.
		The choirs are the key to that album, that and the majestically written classical arrangements, halfway between Rhapsody and Blind Guardian.
		The songs on this album are simply beautiful with their majestically orchestrated symphonies and large use of choirs.

	Neil Diamond in Quad
		In general, when the Quad album is played in normal stereo, it has excellent stereo separation, wider than the regular album release (with one notable exception).
		On the intro, the Quad one has the guitar and maracas on the left, while on the regular album, the guitar is on the left and the maracas are centered.
		Finally, on the last verse, the Quad album has some quiet guitar playing before "Baby, if I had the answers" and also under the line "Plainly it's a circle" which is missing on the regular album.

		One of the greatest albums of the 90, the lyrics and melodies are wanderfull.

		Their following album, Test For Echo, also its high points, but it is too inconsistent and reaches some lows that make Counterparts come out on top out of all the 90s efforts.

		We began with the idea which appears on the inner sleeve, then decided it would be graphically interesting to simplify it down to the image which appears on the cover, and let the full image be revealed in a secondary manner.
		A- There is no material which we have released which is not on our "regular" albums, except perhaps for a couple of live versions of previously released songs which appeared on the "B" sides of our hugely successful hit singles.

	Pink Floyd: Is There Anybody Out There? - PopMatters Music Review
		The quality is top-notch from the opening introduction to the final notes of "Outside the Wall." The album transports you into the very front rows of the concert, there before the lights and the madness of the live show itself.
		A few songs are almost exact copies of their album counterparts, but for the most part every track is in some way or another better than the original.
		Twenty years later the album has lost none of its appeal; moreover, the album is even better than the original, something very rare in the world of live albums.

		The best was when the suited man from the Hemispheres album cover tosses his top-hat down to the naked guy, from the same cover, just in time to cover his "member" as he is turning towards the crowd.
		I wasn't that crazy about most of the songs on that album, but their live performance of this Who classic was fantastic.
		It is one of my favorites from that album and contains the classic lines; "now you know how that rabbit feels, going under you speeding wheels...bright images flashing by, like a windshield towards a fly".

	RARB Review of Counterparts - Counterparts
		The sopranos are high and clear, the tenors are talented, and the solos rock or swing or hustle as needed.
		But perhaps most notably throughout the album, dynamics are all but forgotten — virtually everything starts at least at mezzo-forte and generally ends at fortissimo or louder.
		The Counterparts used to have their niche and used to be among the best at what they did.

	Music Review: Counterparts
		If you've never heard an entire album by Rush, then start with this one: it's their eighteenth, and one of the best they've released in 12 years.
		Like their past two albums, Rush tries to go back to the power trio format with few synthesizers.
		Instrumentally, the album peaks with the instrumental, "Leave that Thing Alone!" and with "Double Agent." Starting with Geddy Lee's pulsating bass and nasal voice, "Where would you rather be....

		Costello has been the album's foremost critic, describing it as his worst album of good songs, arguing that the actual songwriting was of a higher caliber than on the previous year's
		Costello takes full responsibility, saying that his approach to the album was confused, and by the time he realized what had gone wrong it was too late to do anything about it.
		It is important to point out that Costello's 'worst album' is by no means an embarrassment-- in fact, it is a very enjoyable record that was unfortunate enough to have been preceeded and followed by a string of much better ones.

		Televise, the trio's third album, is lush and goth-y and druggy.
		Composed of tracks recorded in 1996 during their tumultuous beginnings, the album was never compiled for reasons that have never been clearly explained.
		But despite its "lost album" status, there is nothing revelatory here; the band ties on several alt-rock hats, from Americana ("I Behaved That Way") to guitar-heavy indie pop ("Comeback") without sounding convincing in any of them.

	RUSH Counterparts reviews and MP3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Thematically, "Counterparts" speaks to the relationships between man and woman (in case the nut-and-bolt illustration wasn't obvious enough), the role that sex plays in life and death, searching for a balance between masculine and feminine, and an instrumental ("Leave That Thing Alone!") that might be better left to the imagination.
		— Probably their best nineties album and showing a much more 'slimline' Rush.Although there's none of the pomp of earlier days, the band's playing is still as strong as ever while the songs provide a compelling soundtrack to the world we live in.'Animate' is my favourite here but there are no bad songs.
		"Counterparts" encouraged me to buy most of their previous albums, and revealed the beauty of Rush to me. The sad thing is that later album "Test For Echo" was a huge disappointment, and both "Vapor Trails" and "Feedback" are disastrous.

		all they have is track number, so for albums with multiple cds its a bit useless having two track 1's from the same album - plus, just changing the album name to "x: disc 1" gets annoying when you have loads of songs.
		In these album subnodes the songs with albumartist same as artist are shown.
		This just wouldn't be there for albums that were only a single disc (an thus left the field blank).

	Progressive Rock Forum: Rush in the 90’s
		I have read all the reviews on the four albums Rush did in the 90's, and I had come up with the descision that I wouldn't buy any of the 90's Rush albums.
		Rush nineties albums are well underrated.Roll The Bones and Counterparts are excellent albums IMO.It's not 'prog' admittedly and the best Rush albums were released between 1977 and 1985 (2112 to Power Windows) but don't ignore the later ones
		Well, I don' t have RUSH "Vapour Trials" and I think the most interesting album is "Counterparts", it's defintely better than "Roll The Bones" and "Test For Echo", it's quite heavy but their great hit "Nobody's Hero" is a very melodic rock song...

		The amazing response was not only band loyalty but also based on the fact that if you were one of the first 500 who bought the album, that you would get a wristband which allowed you to get the CD signed by the band who would be returning to the store after their free show.
		The album has been nearly three years in the making and is the follow up to their debut album "A handful of earth", released in 2004.
		It’s an album that has been very well-received by the fans and media alike, yet while many reviews have called it “a return to greatness” for the band - they have honestly not returned to any old or classic style and instead continue their climb upward into the annals of Rock music history.

	Guitar Lesson Articles - Rush
		More than 20 years and 19 albums into their career, Rush continue to defy easy classification.
		On their latest album, Counterparts, Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee and Neil Peart have come full circle, returning to the sort of heavy, guitar-oriented riffs that marked their Seventies sound.
		Presto (1989) and Roll The Bones (1991) saw the trio moving back to a more guitar-dominated sound as in their early years, with standout songs like "Show Don't Tell." This trend continues with Counterparts, which combines their compositional finesse with grungey-sounding guitars and groove-oriented rhythms.

		By 1993, alternative rock had arrived in a big way, and surprisingly, Canadian veterans Rush were game, releasing their most honest and organic rock and roll record in over a decade with Counterparts.
		Opener "Animate" is straightforward enough, but doesn't even hint at the guitar ferocity and lyrical angst of "Stick it Out," a song which undoubtedly polarizes Rush fans to this day.

	RevelationZ Magazine - Album Review - Rush - Counterparts
		It was the long awaited return for many fans to a more guitar based sound, shying away from the more pop keyboard oriented sound that we all know and love.
		Apparently both Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee were writing the music on guitars rather than keyboards to give it the crunch that would engulf “Counterparts” into a more heavy aesthetic.
		This is one of the best albums by Rush in recent years.

		Prompted by the ecstatic success of their 1996 reunion album "Trial By Fire," Journey issued "Greatest Hits Live," a startling document of their domination of the 1980s touring grounds.
		Despite the title, this is definitely not a mere re-release of hits, presented live in an empty manner of sweetening the deal.
