This album and the resulting tour has special significance since the Chicago stop to support this album was the very first concert I ever attended. I was jacked. I have since seen Rush a couple more times...never walked away anything short of amazed.
This album starts with power and doesn’t want to stop. That synth start to “Tom Sawyer” is one of those sounds that everyone knows what song it is from. This is a whirlwind of great lyrics (all by Neil Peart) and wonderfully orchestrated music (Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson). “Limelight” and “YYZ” along with “Tom Sawyer” represents the heart of this album but to overlook the other songs is to overlook the soul of the album.
I simply love “The Camera Eye” and “Witch Hunt”…just fantastically done tunes. “Red Barchetta” is just a solid tune as well.
This band holds within it’s ranks one of the best drummers ever IMO and one of the best bass players ever IMO. Lifeson is maybe the most under-rated and under-appreciated guitarists out there. They give their songs meaning through the words and power through the music.
