Counterparts is the fifteenth studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1993 (see 1993 in music). Counterparts became Rush's highest charting album in the US, peaking at #2 on the Billboard 200 (only behind Pearl Jam's Vs.). Atlantic Records has claimed that the album went Platinum, although the RIAA has it listed as Gold. The lyrics of Counterparts continue the trends of Roll the Bones with dark and emotional themes being the primary focus. Throughout the album, there is a distinct alternative rock influence, showcased through "heavy" sounding tracks like "Animate" and "Stick it Out". "Leave That Thing Alone" earned a Grammy nomination for "Best Instrumental". The song topped the Mainstream Rock Tracks for four weeks in late 1993, becoming the band's fourth single to do so.
All music written by Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee. All lyrics by Neil Peart except where noted.
