Great progressive album from an awesome band

Not quite Rush's best, as it's generally made out to be (it really pales next to Permanent Waves, in my opinion), but this album's no slacker, either. "Camera Eye" is the best track.

Juke box !!

This album has plenty of good Rush to go around! ;)

Power trio Rush's eighth studio album. An incredible display of sheer technical skill. Every song is a well crafted. Alex has perfected his signature sound. Neil's drumming is powerful, technical and creative. Geddy's bass playing is precise and heavy. Synthesizers adds another layer to the Rush sound, giving the songs a fuller sound. From start to finish this is a wonderful prog-rock achievement.

Rush's best work. What sets this apart for me is the level of musicianship. I can understand the Rush haters (to each his own) but anyone with an ear should be able to admit that these guys can really play. If you don't like what they play, well if we all liked the same thing music would be quite boring.

Rush managed to include the synthesizer more and more in their music. This album represents their best use of it along with the standard guitar, bass, drums.

Well somehow this album made it into the top 20 of the 80s so a bunch of people here must like it. As for myself i don't hate Rush but I do think they are overrated.

Actually, most people hate Rush here. At least in the forums.

I'm probably gonna get kicked off of this site for this (I know some of you are probably hoping I do) but it needs to be said so here it goes... First of all this album is way overrated on this site... Its good but there's no way this should be in the top 20 of the 1980s. Don't get me wrong I do like this album... I think it deserves to be in the top 100 or 200 albums of the 80's I just think that people on this site and people in general are overly obsessed with this album. It's truly unfortunate. I swear some of you literally worship this band as if Geddy Lee, Neil Peart, and Alex Lifeson are all Gods! What?! They aren't?! BLASPHEMY!!! Everyone grab your torches and pitchforks this comment is BLASPHEMY! I guess I'm just put off by the "Rush Cult" more than the music itself because I do enjoy myself a good Rush tune every now and then and this album is full of good Rush tunes. Unfortunately everyone of you people with huge erections for Rush are ruining them for the rest of us. Another good album and good band nearly ruined by their obnoxious cult following (Cough Cough...Tool). Well I'm gonna go listen to Rush now and try to ignore the images I get in my head of all those Rush worshiping, air drumming, Geddy Lee voice imitating, Prog rock elitist, hippy/nerds out there... Wish me luck.
