FLY BY NIGHT

This is a very interesting album from Rush. You can see their potential and what they would become on so many of the tracks. This has all the elements that are found in a great Rush album, the edges are just a little rough. They would get better at crafting songs on future albums but this attempt is still valient and extremely enjoyable. "Fly By Night" is an important album in their catalog. It is necessary in order to piece together and put into perspective the development of their sound. The highlights are "Anthem", "By-Tor and the Snowdog", the title track, and "Rivendell". This is definitely worth picking up, especially if you're a fan of Rush. I wouldn't recommend it to someone who is just starting out on Rush. 3.5 stars.
