TEST FOR ECHO

I think Rush reached to a point in the late 90's where the lack of creativity is shown in their music. Sorry, if I had to say that about a band which had made along many years the top billing in the progressive music world. And that remark came a short time after Counterparts album, which in my opinion is an excellent one, even if does sound much heavier than other albums.

The sound of the album is rather alternative and there's nothing brilliant nor in the voice of Geddy Lee, nor in the musical parts. However, there are some songs which are a little bit more progressive: Test for Echo, Time and Motion and the instrumental Limbo-the best part of the album, IMO. Test for Echo is a stumbling block for me, a challenge for me in trying to understand Rush music in this period of the band, IMO, very less-inspired.

Only for fans!
