HOLD YOUR FIRE

I used to belive that even the worst Rush was better then the best of most other bands....I was wrong,very very wrong. This album is So bad it hurts my ears.This sounds like a cross between enya and a Rocky movie soundtrack! This album is only for the fan who must own everything by Rush and even then do yourself a favor and leave the shrinkwrap on it.To say this is the best of the synth era Rush is kinda like saying "Gee this Poo tastes less like Poo than the Poo I just ate" Sorry Rush but you blew it with this one, Like a Toothless Tiger You may have the look but there is no sign of bite here whatsoever! The Good news is however is they DO get better after this.Over the course of the next few albums Rush does come closer to the near greatness of their past but it takes a while so "stick it out"
