On February 12, 1981, Rush released their eighth studio album, “Moving Pictures” (RockLine review). It's one of the most important albums in the band's history, if not the most important. Fans simply can't agree on that one when they weigh…

In this article we pick ten lyrics by the iconic Canadian prog rockers Rush that best capture the guiding principles of their legendary drummer Neil Peart (09/12/1952–01/07/2020).

Almost four hours of meticulous, heartfelt renditions of some of the best moments of Rush's career so far, including a full string-backed run through all of »Clockwork Angels«, should thoroughly satisfy every worshipper of the Canadian…

»Clockwork Angels« is the new Rush masterpiece we've been waiting more than twenty years for, and right now the top contender for best progressive rock album of 2012. Greased with every trick in the book, the inseparable trio has made a…

Alongside the new (this time single-disc) DVD »Time Machine 2011: Live In Cleveland«, Rush have also put this concert document out as a double CD!

A new monster DVD from a monster band! A trip through time, the whole of "Moving Pictures" played live, two brand-new songs, and a return to Cleveland, where Rush's music first found its way onto the radio airwaves!

An unforgettable live document from Rush that captures the essence of the "synth era" of their studio releases between 1982 and 1987, when synthesizers and electronic drums shaped the band's sound just as much as everything else did.

" Three and a half hours of out-of-this-world playing from a Canadian band of modest size (a trio), brimming with a first-class feel for good, honest rock n' roll fun. Pure musical perfectionism in human form, on stage!"

"Moving Pictures" always holds a special place in the universe of rock music. The place of a rock masterpiece! The most important album of Rush's career."

The final word on the prog rock era and a deeper dive into defining art rock, on the most successful Rush album of all time!

Running time: 35:25 Production: Rush & Terry Brown Release date: 1980 Label: Atlantic Records "Permanent Waves", or the Rush album of transition, slowly walks away from the band's fantasy-world stage and prog-rock…

Rush's transitional album, with one side that charges headfirst into the eighties and points to where the band was heading next: shorter, tighter, more accessible songs.

An album of defiance and survival! The heaviest record of the band's career. Stripped bare, riff-chopped, with no keyboards and no guitar solos! A fine achievement, but it lacks the elegance of most earlier Rush albums

"Counterparts" is Rush's "Book of Sex", and its point is that the Canadian trio strung together their most expressively powerful post-1989 album.The riff-rock edge takes over from the art-rock presence for the first time.

"Roll The Bones" keeps the production foundations of "Presto" (1989). To that end, Rush stuck with Rupert Hine in the studio. The approach to songwriting shifted a touch again, which is nothing new when it comes to Rush. No two albums sound…

"Presto" is the album where all the "former" Rush fans of limited musical breadth and enlightenment, who turned their backs completely on the band's output between 1982 and 1987, found

"Power Windows" is the album where Rush finally polished up the synth-era sound of the eighties they'd started shamelessly developing with "Signals" (1982). It's the obvious successor to "Grace Under Pressure" with absolu

"Hold Your Fire" is the album where Rush hit the peak of their "synth" era sound and songwriting style. The guys kept Peter Collins at the production helm, so the new album preserved the sound

""Hold Your Fire" is the peak of Rush's "synth eighties" era. After it, the guys started reviving the rock-style placement of the individual instruments in the production. The keyboards began sliding into the background, and the guitar…

The minimalism of new wave production at the turn of the seventies into the eighties, revolutionarily bent on hunting for digital-electronic approximations to replace the old organic liveliness of the natural sound of classic instru

This album is the logical follow-up to "Moving Pictures" and a logical step up from its sound. The Rush sound gets a new look, floating on the blissful sound of (by today's standards primitive) Oberheim synthesizers. On a superficial…

Years fly by incredibly fast. The release of the triple-disc Rush live set "Rush In Rio" (2003, RockLine review HERE) still feels like yesterday, and already a new live document of this legendary Canadian art ro

"A trio of three highly charismatic gentlemen, whose chemistry is built on rich experience, long road mileage and years of knowing each other, still runs like a well-oiled, relentless machine after more than 30 years, carrying the Rush…

The tour supporting "Snakes And Arrows" (2007) – RockLine review HERE – which has been running since this June and kicked off in North America, finally brought Rush back to Europe this October.

As usual, every new album from the Canadian holy trio of art rock (and beyond) spheres, the creators of some of the most innovative and advanced works in the history of progressive rock, is a special anniversary that all fans of…

And now you're asking: "What the hell, why another live album, wasn't there a triple live CD not that long ago?" Rush actually had a few good arguments for the move, because roughly speaking, the only thing "Differ
