This appeared in 1980 predecessor album "Moving Pictures", together with this the highlight of the band's history. Genial through-composed rock songs whose effect usually develops after repeated listening. Musically the three gentlemen Peart, Lifeson and Lee are anyway on top level. Compact is packed into six great songs that make up "The Spirit of Radio" and "JacobŽs Ladder" protrude yet this also one of the highlights of the rock history. And less is here probably more - because the common LP 40 minute mark was well below. Whether you can pay this to the scale at a later term "prog rock" everyone likes decide. Worth listening to the "perms" definitely.
