Free Music Review: After Six Years, Rush Mature
Hit: 5 Stars
PERMANENT WAVES ushered in the mature Rush, who started to craft songs that could be played on AOR radio while still being lyrically and musically complex. Ironically, it was "The Spirit Of Radio", an indictment of the lack of adventure in radio programming, that broke the band into the upper echelons of album-rock radio playlists. This album showed the band getting away from space-rock and towards more down-to-earth lyrical themes, and lead singer Geddy Lee was finally learning not to scream like Robert Plant on Santa Fe chile sauce. This album, along with MOVING PICTURES, defined the second phase of Rush's career just as FLY BY NIGHT had defined the first phase. This CD is a must-own.
Permanent Waves Poster
One of Rush's finest moments, second only to Moving Pictures. This album includes two classic songs, "The Spirit of Radio" (which has one of the most recognizable guitar riffs in all of rock) and "Freewill." There's also the epic-feeling "Jacob's Ladder," as well as "Entre Nous," a sort of intellectual love song (if such a thing can be said to exist). The introspective "Different Strings" and the anthemic "Natural Science" (which clocks in at over nine minutes) close the album. Though there are only six songs on Permanent Waves, it's enough; the material is rich enough that more of it would be like overdosing on chocolate. -- Genevieve WilliamsPop Music CDs
