SIGNALS

who said that the golden era of Rush ended at "Moving Pictures"? you might want to add - at least - this little gem too... 'Signals' was the first release of the third era of the band.. the 80's synth driven one... and while this is the point where many fans got disappointed with the new sound, i would strongly recommend this one cause the musicianship is still on really high levels... however poppy or synth driven it is, prog elements are still quite obvious...IMHO, all the songs stand out except for "Countdown"... there's a lot of excitement, a quite up-lifting album... let's not forget that back then, Rush were at their best state.. they had just released their Magnum Opus, their popularity was ever growing and they were touring like crazy.. given all of the above, "Signals" came out to be a very "positive" up-tempo, prog pop masterpiece...
