Album Notes Rush: Geddy Lee (vocals, bass); Alex Lifeson (guitar); John Rutsey (drums).All tracks have been digitally remastered.The opening chords of "Finding My Way" signal the beginning of a song, album, and career that would have a permanent place in rock history. The debut album from the Canadian progressive metal outfit features drummer John Rutsey who, although a talented drummer, would quit after this album to be replaced by Neal Peart. Peart contributed to the band's songwriting progression and use of time changes. Out of the eight songs here, four are considered Rush classics. "Finding My Way" and "What You're Doing" both contain killer guitar riffs, while Geddy Lee's high pitched vocal endeared him to Rush fans the world over. "In the Mood" is symbolic of the band's early material, which is more rock & roll party oriented, as opposed to the sophisticated lyrics of the Peart era. "Working Man" concludes the album and is a metal masterpiece. It's a fast and furious tune, complete with lyrics that every blue-collar male can relate to. Though RUSH is far from the band's greatest achievement, it's an excellent self-produced debut from a band that has never stopped evolving. | |||||||||||||
Reviews I bought this album when it was released on vinyl back in 1974 and loved it then, it started a long term love of Rush and their individual style of music and live shows. The music was so different to anything else I had heard at the time but unfortunately vinyl is not the most transferrable media so I have been trying to recreate my vinyl collection digitally for some time and eventually found a supplier who sold remastered versions that actually played well and lasted.

Report this review This album, one of the later Rush albums I bought, is not as progressive as nearly all the others, which is unsurprising considering Neil Peart had yet to join the band. This makes for a CD that is less grandiose and makes it very fun to listen to, even if the lyrics leave something to be desired. Standout tracks: Here Again, Working Man, Before And After.

Although the sound isn't quite as polished as on later albums, this debut is a great set of songs, my favourites would have to be "What You're Doing", "In The Mood" and "The Working Man". After hearing a few of their other albums, I decided to buy the first, and I can tell you i'm not in the slightest dissapointed with it. Review ID: 10000000002840609 Was this review helpful?
