FLY BY NIGHT

This album is still hard rock but better than preceding one, especially thanks to the entry of the new drummer the Great Neil Peart, Which brings great technical ability and begins to write most of the lyrics of the band, with mythological and fantasy contents. My favorite songs are: The wonderful epic song (my favourite on this album) "By Tor and Snow Dog", with four different parts, with great solo drum by Peart in one of these and this is the first progressive song by the band; the classic "Fly By Night" with great guitar solo by Lifeson, the catchy "Anthem" with great intro, the acoustic very relaxed and nice "Rivendell" inspired by the Tolkien's book "The Lord of the Rings", the almost heavy metal "Between, Beneath and Behind". Good songs are also "Making memories" and "In The End", not bad but they are enough influenced by Led Zeppelin sound. Overral it's an excellent addition even if it's not a progressive work (apart from By Tor and Snow Dog).
