This album really demonstrates the composition of Neal's near peak drmming skills with Alex's clear mastery of guitar without trying to put into all speed and shredding. The synthezer work from Geddy is a bonus on top of Geddy's world classs bassmanship. I consider this album and Signals the picks of the original Rush period of engaging lyrics and music flow that defined them as the 'Rock philosphers with the 3-man tightness mastery'
