I thought Hold your Fire was fantastic, Jackhammer, definitely one of my favorite Rush albums.

I'm nabbing Clockwork Angels right now. I've heard enough good things about the album to merit checking it out, so I might be chiming in in a while.
Hold Your Fire was patchy for me although the track Open Secrets from the album is one of my favourite Rush tracks ever.
