RUSH

Rush was a very good debut album by Canadian musicians, not yet clear at that time that they would be heading down paths related to the progressive, they did have the wood to become a great rock band. Strongly influenced by Led Zeppelin and the hard rock sound of the early seventies, Rush deliver a raw and rough work, while vigorous and determined.

And perhaps because it is not part of their most recognizable style later, it is that jewels such as Here Again, an exquisite piece with bluesy airs of more than 7 minutes, or the excellent introduction of Before and After, go unnoticed in the count of their best jobs. Both songs, added to Alex Lifeson's powerful guitar display on Working Man, are some of the best from the album.

Rush was the first and only job that Neil Peart was not on percussion with whose incorporation from Fly by Night, the band would begin to forge their own style.
