A bit of a question mark between two solid albums. Permanent Waves is the real start
to more radio friendly Rush, straying from the long epic style songs they had
established on the previous albums. This record is really lacking in a lot of areas,
but there's enough there on certain tracks for it to be a keeper.Permanent Waves starts with arguably the best track, a fun and upbeat song in Spirit of the Radio. Freewill is a huge mistake. The chorus comes in and I just get bored to tears. My favorite track on this album is Jacob's Ladder, one of the most interesting songs Rush ever wrote, a real different style to it than most of their works. The rest of the album is very wishy-washy. Nothing really memorable, just some good efforts that don't exactly hit the mark. Overall, I really would not reccommend this record for getting into Rush (that is if you already haven't). The other albums of their "prime" are really much better.
