I understand how you feel about what happened with Rush’s music after Subdivisions. (The new wave period was something of a letdown - and those songs haven’t held up well and they didn’t include them in their sets after). But, you might try “Half the World”, “The Color of Right”, and perhaps the instrumental “Limbo” off the album “Test for Echo” and find your enthusiasm renewed. I do not want to be argumentative about it but what else of thrilling aspect was happening in the relatively tasteful wing in broader context of progressive in the early 90s? Dream Theatre? Primus? Tool? What were you into around that time that still really rocked? I found myself having to absorb whole new- to -me kinds of music to find thrills and contentment. All the while though Rush kept rocking. And IMO the above couple of three cuts are examples of Rush that are absolutely timeless.
