This stands as my all time favorite Rush album, and they're may favorite band of all time.

They really balanced the keyboard and guitar perfectly, after the keyboard-preferenced Signals. What is striking after repeated listens about this album is how there isn't one instrument that takes the lead. All parts melt together to form one, giant sound.

Geddy Lee has turned down the wailing vocals for a more calm, subtle voice that accompanies the lyrics about nuclear war and survival in a post-apocalyptic world.

Distant Eary Warning, Red Sector A, and Kid Gloves are all shockingly great songs that are all endlessly interesting and re-listenable.

Grace Under Pressure is definately one of their more complex albums, all though it may sound to many like a new wave sound, that's because they balance all parts together with such futuristic flawlessness that you almost forgot what you're listening to. The material is fantastic and it makes a rather short album go by fast.

A real Rush classic and my favorite Rush album, check it out, repeated listens will make this album as rewarding as it truely is!!
