My first encounter with a Rush fan happened almost eight years ago, but I remember it like it was yesterday. On the walk home one day, I stopped by the video store and checked for Rush CD's after this guy had advertised them like the second coming. "Could anything be that good?" I thought. And...

Pros More aggressive arrangements, usual great lyrics
Cons Near genius, but not quite
Recommended it? Yes

The first Rush album worth getting excited about in years, Counterparts brings to the fore an edgier sound and songs with more emotion than they've had since Moving Pictures. It's like the whole band took a shot of Viagra. Even Neil Peart's ever-impressive percussions reached a new level here.

Counterparts

The production on Counterparts is a bit too smooth, which means that the passion that normally infuses Rush's music (and prevents it from being too coldly intellectual) is weakened. The songs themselves are good, including the singles Animate, Nobody's Hero, and Stick It Out. Other standouts are Cut to the Chase and Cold Fire. Though Rush's brand of slick, sophisticated progressive rock isn't exactly trendy, it is what they do best, and they've wisely stuck to it. Therefore, although Counterparts isn't on a par with Moving Pictures or Permanent Waves, it's still a strong effort. --Genevieve Williams
