PERMANENT WAVES

You've got to hand it to these guys, at this time they were churning out brilliant albums annually! You know you're on to a winner when the opening track is Spirit of Radio, probably the most recognised Rush song and certainly one of the best. See how the crowd still love it on the Rush in Rio DVD. Freewill is also a great Rush hard rocker, how high could Geddy get his voice in those days. Jacob's Ladder reminds me a little of Xanadu in that it builds slowly throughout. Entre Nous and Different Strings are solid album tracks, but to me Natural Science is a slow burner that I've come to love. Great musicianship throughout, and possibly one of Rush's last great prog classics. Go buy!
