SIGNALS

Just like "Hemispheres" was a transitional album towards the more modern sound presented in "Permanent Waves" and "Moving Pictures", "Signals" is another bridge towards the sounds that we will find in "Grace Under Pressure" and "Power Windows" .

Therefore, we have a Rush that exponentially increases the use of synthesizers, while thematically worrying about issues such as technology, the future and the role that man plays in all of it.

Fortunately, we find another master sample of the marvelous compositional quality of this trio, with absolutely intoxicating themes, and an impressive mastery in each of the instruments, highlighting, as always, Geddy Lee's absolutely incomparable bass.

Another of Rush's essential albums, definitely!

Best Tracks: Subdivisions (rocky, complex and full of synths), The Analog Kid (one of the best choruses of Rush's entire career), The Weapon (great guitar melodies stand out above all on this song) and Countdown (excellent closing of an excellent album)

My Rating: ****
