EXTD= Ladder" and the album-closing "Natural Science," which contains a middle section that contains elements of reggae. Geddy Lee also began singing in a slightly lower register around this time, which made their music more accessible to fans outside of

EXTD=AMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nRush reborn and better than ever, April 22, 2006\nReviewer: Tom Benton (Springfield, VT USA)\nIt seems as though Rush has lived through three incarnations. The first began with the band's self-titled debut and ended with 
EXTD=HEMISPHERES in 1978; this was the band's traditional hard-rock period. The second began with the release of PERMANENT WAVES in 1980. During this phase, Rush began experimenting more with synthesizers and created a sound that was more "new wave" than
EXTD= "hard rock". That said, PERMANENT WAVES is a magnificent album, ranking beside MOVING PICTURES as the band's finest achievement. It opens with the affectionate "The Spirit of Radio", followed by the high-powered anthem "Freewill". Alex Lifeson's gu
EXTD=itar work meshes with Geddy Lee's synthesizers to create an apocalyptic, stormy atmosphere on "Jacob's Ladder". "Entre Nous" is the band's (successful) attempt at making an intelligent love song. The calm "Different Strings" was the final Rush song

EXTD=hen Rush saved their career with the 2112 album, they continually changed their stylings in hope of improving themselves. That's one of the reasons I love these progressive rockers. Their 1978 release, Hemispheres, proved to be their most progressiv
EXTD=e work to date, and an excellent album as well. Following up that heavily progressive work was the Permanent Waves album. This was the band's seventh studio album, and it was released in 1980. Read on for my review. \n\nEssentially, this album takes
EXTD= the stylings of the group's last album, and focuses them in a much more mainstream direction. This decision only strengthens the band's sound, in my opinion. Two massive hits came from this album - The Spirit Of Radio and Freewill. Both of these so
EXTD=ngs get plenty of radio play, and it's only fair that they do - they're excellent. These two hits aren't the only good songs here, though. There isn't a single weak track on the album, but the obvious best tracks are the lengthy masterpieces Jacob's
EXTD= Ladder and Natural Science. Both of these songs are hailed as masterpieces by fans of the band, and with one listen, you'll see why. From start to finish, Permanent Waves will rock you. \n\nMercury reissued the Rush catalogue in the nineties, but t

EXTD=ch 9, 2004\nReviewer: C. Neely (Northampton, Massachusetts) \nIts a rather popular opinion that Rush went downhill following the release of Fly By Night. What could have been a serious rocking band was ruined by Neil Pearts overindulgence on wasted 
EXTD=intellectual fodder lyrics and over-excessive drumming. The first album with John Rutsey was as good as it got with Rush. A debut album packed with serious rock songs, a guitar sound to rival Tony Iommi and groove like nobodys business. The follow u
EXTD=p, Fly By Night, was right on target with killer songs like By Tor and Best I Can. Well, after this, it all went downhill rather quickly. The band decided against finding a real singer and decided it was cool to follow Neils new direction and thus e
EXTD=nded any shot they had at real stardom and legitimacy. Permanant Waves isn't a bad album by any means but only when you hold it up against their first two albums do you stop and think "where did this go wrong?" Jacobs Ladder is the only song on this
EXTD= album that even heralds back to the once mighty rock unit. Neil is in full force with his songwriting, now used to having all his really important thoughts put to lyrics and trying to make Keith Moon sound like Ringo Starr with his inability to pla
EXTD=y a straight beat. So, if you're a fan of great rock n roll music, please pick up the first two Rush albums. Then listen to these from a distance and try to figure it out for yourself why they chose this direction when they could have had it all.\n\
EXTD=nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\n4.5 stars; Rush's Gorgeous Entry Into '80's Mode!, September 14, 2002\nReviewer: Bob Schneider "Lover of Life" (Tacoma, WA USA)\nOkay, I'm back to the Rush reviews. PERMANENT WAVES (1980) marked the beginning of Rush's '
EXTD=middle period', i.e. they were still a Heavy Metal band, albeit a progressive one, but their songs began to get a bit shorter and more radio-friendly at this point. This would be a bad thing for most bands; however with Rush, it just made their soun
EXTD=d more accessible while still packing a powerful lyrical punch, courtesy of drumming and songwriting genius Neil Peart, the band's resident Ayn Rand. It also gained Rush tremendous popularity, while not 'selling out'. The swirling guitar/keyboard mu
EXTD=sic also packs a wallop in its own way; it's not as loud or heavy as it had been in the band's early days, but is no less heartfelt. Rush's signature time-changes are on full display on every song on this album, and if anything, Rush's music became 
EXTD=even more complex-just more compact.\nAnd what a compact recording PERMANENT WAVES is: containing only six songs and stretching only 35 minutes, this album is short even by Rush standards. But every song is significant, magical and has something to 
EXTD=say. "Spirit of Radio" is the opening track and, of course, the one that people know best from this album. Although it may have eventually suffered a little from too much FM-radio overplay, one cannot deny the timelessness of its message. In fact, i
EXTD=ts thesis of corporate erosion of the integrity of modern music is perhaps even more relevant today than it was at the dawn of the 1980's, what with the increased proliferation of manufactured entertainers such as Billy Ray Cyrus, the Backstreet Boy
EXTD=s, 'Nsync, O-Town, Eden's Crush, etc etc. "Freewill" has a strongly individualistic message to which most people can relate, as it deals with the choice of how to live one's life and the methods by which one arrives at that choice. Musically, it pul
EXTD=ls out all the stops: It contains one of the greatest Alex Lifeson guitar solos of all time, and I love the way it incorporates Rush's earlier style by having Geddy Lee screaming the bridge, with echo and reverb aplenty. Interestingly enough, this w
EXTD=ould be the very last time we would hear Geddy's early-Rush-style scream (previously heard to great effect on RUSH, FLY BY NIGHT, CARESS OF STEEL, 2112, AND A FAREWELL TO KINGS), as his voice was already mellowing out considerably, and would mellow 
EXTD=out even more as time went by.\n\nIn continuation, we get "Jacob's Ladder," one of two long songs on the CD, and definitely one to relax to while listening. Its beautiful, poetic lyrics are spare, and its music spans the spectrum from soft to hard a
EXTD=nd then soft again. Geddy Lee's keyboard abilities are in sharp focus here, as well as Neil Peart's strangely off-kilter, syncopated drumming (which is his trademark, of course). "Entre Nous" ("Between Us") deals poetically with the concept of inter
EXTD=personal relationships, "Different Strings" is the one Lee-penned track on here; an abstract love song of sorts, it shows how much he had really grown as a lyricist from his "Take A Friend" days. Finally, the closer "Natural Science" is the one mult
EXTD=i-part suite on PERMANENT WAVES; clocking in at over nine minutes, it marks a bit of a return to the epic style displayed on 2112, A FAREWELL TO KINGS, and HEMISPHERES. Its weird space-age sound and vocal effects in fact remind me very much of AFTK'
EXTD=s "Cygnus X-1." Similarly, it does merit some repeated listenings in order to 'get into it'.\n\nPERMANENT WAVES marked the beginning of a new direction for Rush. Indeed, with this album, the stage was set for an all-time masterpiece...which will be
