Permanent Waves [Remaster] by Rush

Pros: The whole album!
Cons: Its leave you wanting more!

I will be perfectly honest with you.  I rarely seek recommendations for films, music or books on Epinions.  From memory, I only recall one or two times when someone at Epinions has recommended a product to me and I followed through with ...

Pros: The compositions are better and this is entertaining
Cons: Don't expect it to change your life... or anything...

(Disclaimer: Those looking for a brief description of the album will find what their looking for in the "Album Overview" section. The section titled "Detailed Track Discussion" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of ...

Pros: Freewill, Jacob's Ladder, and Entre Nous.
Cons: The first and last song... I wish the lady showed off her navel!

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 ...

Pros: Outstanding Lyrics and Music. Catchy and thought-provoking songs. Near-perfection.
Cons: None.

Pros: Natural Science
Cons: Like a lot of Rush albums, too short

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 ...

Pros: Want to know what made Rush great? Give this classic a listen.
Cons: Absolutely nothing -- almost a perfect album.

For those who want to know why people Rave on and on about Rush, listening to this album can answer a lot of those questions. If you want the short, punchy rockers on this, try on "The Spirit of Radio" or "Freewill" on for size. Want and extended song in...

Pros: Two catchy radio tunes accompanies by several of Rush's patented artisitc songs.
Cons: None.

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...

Pros: Rush at their peak.
Cons: I wished that it never ended, thus too short.

If you don't consider this album as one of the greatest masterpieces ever made (alongside Moving Pictures)then do not read this article because It would just wasting your time and mine!

Those are some pretty strong words but this is in my...

Pros: A classic! Excellent instrumental sections fused with poetic lyrics
Cons: None!

For those who enjoy Rush, from long-time fans to those who have just heard a few songs, I would definitely say this album is a must-have. As I mentioned in my recent review on Moving Pictures (please take a look at this review which is located at...

Pros: Classic Rush, no filler, no preservatives, just Rush!
Cons: Different Strings could have been longer

"Permanent Waves" Rush (1980)

Permanent Waves is the fifth album in a sextet of classic Rush albums from the 1970s - early 80s (2112 through Moving Pictures). Even though this is the album that started the 80's for them, you...

Pros: Great lyrics, great music, great band
Cons: only 6 songs on disc

Rush, a group that comes out of Canada (don't hold it against them), is one of the finest rock groups ever. This album is debatably their finest work ever. I bought this album because i have been a rush fan for many years, and this is, in my...

Pros: Great music, high energy, raw entertainment
Cons: Loud - and meant to be played that way :)

"Permanent Waves" is one of the most energetic rock albums of it's time. I bought this album when I was 11 years old and I still listen to it today. Rush made a statement with the song "Freewill" and forever changed their public...

Pros: Rush's finest hour
Cons: Only 6 songs

I often skip over "The Spirit of Radio" when I listen to this cd since I've heard it enough times to choke a horse, but that's still an awesome song. "Freewill" has much more of an edge to it than I used to give it credit for....
