POWER WINDOWS

'Power Windows' follows the line that Rush started to sign since 'Signals' with a 80's synth sound clear and simply perfect. The album is brilliant, a great record of melodic technical rock with awesome stuffs like 'Marathon', 'Big Money' and the mystic one 'Grand Designs'. To be honest this album has no incredible performances from the band, as they did years before, but the quality remains high. The stuffs have such a commercial feel but it fits with the sound of the whole album. In a time (1985-'87) where Iron Maiden, Accept and Judas Priest moved to a synth keyboards sound Rush took the lead with this superb work. Not a prog work but excellent enough.
