Birth Information



Instead of playing it safe and writing Moving Pictures
Part II, Rush replaced their heavy rock of yesteryear
with even more modern sounds for 1982's Signals.
Synthesizers were now an integral part of the band's
sound, and replaced electric guitars as the driving
force for almost all the tracks. And more current and
easier-to-grasp topics (teen peer pressure,
repression, etc.) replaced their trusty old sci-fi
inspired lyrics. While other rock bands suddenly added
keyboards to their sound to widen their appeal, Rush
gradually merged electronics into their music over the
years, so such tracks as the popular MTV video,
"Subdivisions," did not come as a shock to longtime
fans. And Rush didn't forget how to rock out — "The
Analog Kid" and "Digital Man" were some of their most
up-tempo compositions in years. The surprise hit, "New
World Man," and "Chemistry" combined reggae and rock
(begun on 1980's Permanent Waves), "The Weapon"
bordered on new wave, the placid "Losing It" was one
of the band's few guitar-less tracks, while the epic
closer "Countdown" painted a vivid picture of a space
shuttle launch. Signals proved that Rush was
successfully adapting to the musical climate of the
early '80s. — Greg Prato, Allmusic.com
