Forget everything you’ve ever heard by these guys, this is my favorite album of them all (by Rush). They’re all good, but I believe this record captured them at their best. Nothing over played here. Just simple yet intricate songs, played by three men as comfortable with their instruments as they are competent; full of emotion most people only casually acquainted with the group wouldn’t associate with them.
I can’t decide if the first tune, “Animate” is a love song or a hymn. Either way, it threatens to move me to tears every time I hear it.
The rest of the album ain’t too shabby either; not a dog in the bunch.
Turn it up and enjoy.
