POWER WINDOWS

"Power Windows" is an eighties album. But it is also a Rush album, which makes it worth it!!! This album is probably the best blend of synths that Rush has accomplished since Permanent Waves or Moving Pictures. It has a great theme running through nearly all the songs. This theme is power. Big Money concerns itself with the power money has over people. Territories is about the power that land gives oneself. Marathon is about the race for keeping or gaining the upper hand in a conflict. Finally, the Manhattan Project is about the power of nuclear warfare. This is a great album that you really shouldn't miss. The songwriting and arrangements are top-notch. Yes, the eighties keyboard and synth sounds get a bit impish, but once you get past this, you can enjoy one of Rush's better records.
