SIGNALS

This is Rush all out! This is emotion through music all out! 'Subdivisions' remains my all time favourite Rush-song an d the lyrics by Peart are so incredibly spot on that it hurts, as is the case with almost all the ones he's written. Saying that there is not one bad song on this CD is the understatement of the century. 'Losing It' almost always has me in a tear or two - and it feels great being able to shed some of them whilst listening to great music, be it Rush's or somebody else's! 'Chemistry', 'Analog Kid', 'Countdown' and tutti quanti alone are worth having the CD for. As far as the criticism is concerned about Rush not sticking to the style some people feel they developped throughout earlier CD's, what is that all about? Either a song is great, mediocre, bad or somewhere in between, irrespective of whether it is played on the Nepalese nose-organ, 40 Prophecy's, 20 M1's and 30 JV880's or by the London Philharmonic on steroids! I don't give a **** about how musicians arrive at a great song, it's getting there that counts. And getting there, Rush certainly did with Signals. You touch(ed) me, guys!
