GRACE UNDER PRESSURE

All the reviews below are correct, but they seem to neglect one of the striking aspects of this album - the great lyrics. This is the album in which Peart really comes into his own as a lyric-writer, with lyrics that are poignant, poetic, nuanced, wordly and, perhaps most importanly, quite funny! Indeed, I think Mad magazine gave this album some award for the humour in its lyrics (tell me if I am wrong). Also, I should note that the keyboards are not nearly as up-front and annoying on this one as on Signals - the guitars are louder in the mix on most tunes.
