Very mediocre albums peppered with the odd gem. Empath was a step in the right direction - I haven't had a chance to fully digest the latest one, Lightwork.

I quite like Los Palabras De Amor as well - but I do find myself skipping the other Hot Space tracks on Live at the Bowl when I'm giving it a listen...
As I understand it, Freddie wanted to continue with the disco / funk direction and the rest of the band weren't so keen so... this was the album that resulted?
U2, Tom Petty, Willie Nelson, the Stones, Radiohead all have good staying power. Just regular old music.

I have every Rush album on CD except .... Hold your fire. I HATED that album when released, and I didn't much like anything that came after, although I do own them all. Technically I do have HYF but it's vinyl. I will get HYF on CD one day, but I don't want to pay much for it!
XTC are one of the few who never got boring. Their final album Wasp Star isn't one of their best, but the two preceding it -- Apple Venus and Nonsuch -- are amazing.
I should rephrase my point:
I don’t see what is especially objectionable about this album.
It all sounds very dated now, and when I think about it I feel as if I already knew how cheesy it was at the time. Which of course I didn't.
Ironically the only time I ever saw Rush live was on the Hold Your Fire tour.
I’m not trying to disagree with your point of view or challenge it, to be clear; it just surprises me, is my point.
