Description
2025 reissue, 2×12″ LP, Anthem/Atlantic.
In 1993, Rush leaned into a heavier, guitar-driven sound, stripping back the synths of their earlier work. Tracks like ‘Animate’ open with robust riffs and tight rhythms, setting a confident tone, while ‘Stick It Out’ adds a grunge-inspired rawness that reflects the shifting rock landscape of the 90s. Geddy Lee’s basslines are as commanding as ever, threading through Alex Lifeson’s crunching guitar work and Neil Peart’s signature, intricate drumming. The production captures a raw energy, showcasing a band comfortable in reinvention without losing their edge.
