This is a great album! It's a trip down memory lane for me, as we had this album in 'record' format when we were teenagers. Fun!

Permanent Waves...still making waves for Rush!2 of 3 people found this review helpful.
What can I say? Rush is Rush...and Permanent Waves is one of their best offerings over the thirty odd years Rush has been making music! The lyrics on this one are sometimes so highly poetic that you have difficulty believing that this is hard, metal-type Rock, and yet the driving guitar rythmns and the fabulous vocals that knock your socks off remind you that it most certainly is!
Drummer Neil Peart is at his best with this one, sending the hard-driving rythmn through your entire body, while Geddy Lee soars above the sound to leave us in a pleasant state of shock. Alex lifeson's lyrics are almost too poetic for this music, but heck, who cares? The music is so great, you accept that and go with the flow! Lifeson's guitar is too wonderful to sweat the small stuff!
I bought this to add to my own collection of Rush, after 25 years of building the collections of three now-adult kids and two grandkids. I figured I owed myself a few great old albums, and Rush will always be one of my favorites.
If you are a Rush fan, Permanent Waves has GOT to be in your CD case!

The section titled "Detailed Track Discussion" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the songs, and they do not constitute the essence of this review. Lastly and most importantly, this review is not necessarily written by the point of view of a Rush fan.)

Note: This review is part of a re-writing process I'm going through on my earlier Rush entries. Some of them clearly needed a little more polish so I felt obligated to do so. Rather than delete the original and re-submit a new review, I felt it best to simply modify the original and add a notification of the updated review in PTiemann's Notification System. Thanks for reading... ... Dateline: January 1st, 1980. The first new album of the new decade is released. Rush's Permanent Waves. What a way to set the tone for Rush's entry into their second decade of creating music commercially. Up until.

I love this band, but ironically, this was when I originally stopped listening to them! I was at a friend's house when The Spirit of Radio came on the "radio" and I immediately HATED the song, especially that part where Geddy Lee screams about the "SALESMEN!"! I'm also not a fan of songs that pander to FM radio and radio announcers... even though I disc jockey at an FM radio station, I'm more of a fan of AM radio... I'd rather hear the weather forecast and get the latest sports scores! Neil Peart sounds too scientific on this song and uses too many big words( like "integrity", "unobtrusive", .

All Rush fans have their favorite periods of Rush music. Some favor Rock Rush, the period in the '70's when Rush perfected the art of the epic. Others, for some reason I will probably never understand, think Synth Rush of the '80's was the best. (Hey, I think Rush made some good stuff during that period too, but to list it as your favorite...) Still many love the stripped-down sound of Alt Rush in the '90's. Finally, some are hopping the bandwagon as Rush fans converted during the unnamed period started by the 2002 album Vapor Trails. As for me, my favorite period of Rush music is their first.

A near perfect album. There, I ve said it. I ve placed the bar pretty high, I know. But this album really is that good (only Moving Pictures is better). This album blends radio friendly, commercial music with Rush s stylistic, art rock like no other. That can be good or bad, depending on your preference. Songs like Freewill and Spirit of Radio are perfect radio tunes with straightforward messages and catchy hooks and riffs. Rush finally proves they can create songs a radio station will like. After so many albums filled with weighty themes and complex musical movements, I m sure many fans of...
