Rush in her best stage!

I am since 1986 big Rush fan. I like all phases of Rush. But best I find the phase from 1982 to the late 80s, although I also like to hear matrimonial much tougher groups like Motörhead or Judas Priest. Plates signal, Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows and (with small drawbacks) Hold The Fire are so awesome that I could hardly find words for this. And nothing to do with pop or as some reviewers thought incorrectly. Sure, the said plates are no longer as hard as from the 70s. The guitar is rather mixed in the background, also agrees. The keyboard is very dominantly, but that does not matter, absolutely nothing. The songs are so sophisticated, so perfectly arranged and performed by the best musicians that ever just exist in the rock. Distant Early Warning, Red Sector A, Behind the wheels are songs for eternity. But eigendlich that applies to all songs from Grace Under Pressure. Even and especially with this record they have influenced legions of other musicians. Queensryche, Dream Theater and Fates Warning would viell. Not have been possible if Rush early / mid 80's would not have been so innovative. 5 stars for this super brilliant album. Buy Absolutely, just as signal and power windows!
