Our Take

RUSH's Grace Under Pressure is like that eccentric uncle who insists on wearing socks with sandals - you can't help but be both bewildered and amused by it. This album, a cacophony of synth-heavy rock anthems mixed with Geddy Lee's signature high-pitched vocals, is a rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish.

The opener "Distant Early Warning" sets the tone with its catchy hooks and rousing chorus, making you want to pump your fist in the air like you're at a stadium rock concert in the 80s. The frenetic energy continues with tracks like "Afterimage" and "Red Sector A", showcasing the band's virtuosity and technical prowess.

But don't let the bombastic sound fool you - there's a depth and complexity to the lyrics that delve into themes of fear, anxiety, and societal pressure. It's like Rush took a crash course in psychoanalysis and decided to turn it into a rock opera.

The standout track has to be "Between the Wheels", a haunting ballad that oozes with emotion and showcases the band's softer side. It's like the moment when the eccentric uncle takes off his socks and sandals and reveals a vulnerability you never knew existed.

Overall, Grace Under Pressure is a wild ride that will leave you both scratching your head and tapping your foot. Rush may be an acquired taste, but once you acquire it, you'll never want to let it go. So buckle up and enjoy the ride - just don't forget your socks and sandals.
