Birth Information



Rush's self-titled debut is about as uncharacteristic
of their renowned heavy progressive rock (perfected on
such future releases as Hemispheres, Moving Pictures,
etc.) as you can get. Instead of complex arrangements
and thoughtful lyrics, Rush sounds almost identical to
Led Zeppelin throughout — bluesy riffs merged with
"baby, baby" lyrics. The main reason for the album's
different sound and direction is that their
lyricist/drummer, Neil Peart, was not in the band yet,
skinsman John Rutsey rounds out the original line-up,
also consisting of Geddy Lee (bass/vocals) and Alex
Lifeson (guitar). It's nearly impossible to hear the
anthemic "Finding My Way" and not picture Robert Plant
shrieking away, or Jimmy Page riffing on the jamfest
"Working Man," but Rush was still in their formative
stages. There's no denying that Lee and Lifeson were
already strong instrumentalists, but such predictable
compositions as "In the Mood" and "What You're Doing"
prove that Peart was undoubtedly the missing piece to
the puzzle. While longtime Rush fans can appreciate
their debut because they never returned to this style,
newcomers should stick with their classics from later
years. — Greg Prato, Allmusic.com
