On * Fly By Night * one moves on the same high level, with the debut was already very powerful. Neil Peart had no part in the complete songwriting, probably the concept of most songs was already before joining the band. But it was Lee and Lifeson (and Peart) is abfackelt still not bad.
As a neutral today, one can almost say that it is in some way a crossover album in the band's development. Crossover initially in the sense that you passed from one only playing drums on a fully mitkomponierenden drummer. On the other hand, the disc is a kind of link between the compact songs of their debut and the epics of z. B. * Caress Of Steel * or * 2112 *. The compact songs predominate here, but with * By-Tor & The Snow Dog *, which is divided into four capital, one has ever seen a glimpse what then should have to come to innovation, ideas and escalating songwriting on us.
Playing tips: Anthem, Best I Can, Fly By Night, Making Memories and By-Tor & The Snow Dog
The Song * * Revindell falls, in my opinion, something from the series and will cost the excellent hard rock disc, unfortunately, the highest score.
CONCLUSION: genial wars yet, but damn good ...
