Good old Rush.. you never hear much about these guys. While some bands get praised to high heaven and others get branded with such terms as "overrated", "superfluous" and "pretentious", Rush are just kind of there. Even now, though, you might still catch a classic rock station spinning some "Tom Sawyer" on an overcast brunch hour. And it has been my experience that Rush have the most devoted fan base of 'em all. I would never have known about Rush if not for Curt, an old buddy who worked at the Golden Pantry with me (there's RATS in them thar stores, RATS I mean it!). He got so excited about..

Author's Note: This is a complete re-write of an original (and woefully incomplete) opinion I posted several months back. Test for Echo marks a sweet sixteen of sorts for Rush. This is the 16th original studio album that they have released, their final studio album released in the 90's, and some thought, until very recently, that it was their final album - period. Thankfully, Rush is currently (as of July 2001) hard at work on their 17th studio album due out in early 2002. But had this been Rush's curtain call, then they would have left the music world as they entered it - full of fire, full..

After their return to a more heavy rock sound with Counterparts , Rush wasn t about to abandon a successful formula. Their pop sensibility is now more balanced with old time rock chops, which sits comfortably in the musical landscape of the late 90 s. Grunge is dead but it left the industry deeply scarred and thirsty for more aggressive music than the New Wave fare of the 80 s. This album is that and more. Rush now has a popular following of fans who ve been weaned on their progressive sound and intellectual lyrics. Their true musical genius is evident in the way they craft dynamics into...

While I really liked the album Counterparts, I found that as time went on I liked it less and less. Don't get me wrong, I still think it's a great album but it is not the masterpiece that I thought it was when I first started listening to it. Test for Echo is a different story. Test For Echo was a Birthday present to me from one of my buddies. I wasn't expecting much because at the time I was starting to get a little tired of Rush and was looking for something new. Test For Echo completely changed my mind on that and reminded me why I was ever a Rush fan. Test For Echo has a very peaceful...
