  Grace Under Pressure (1984 album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grace Under Pressure is the tenth studio album by the Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1984 (see 1984 in music).
Much of the album explores the concept of "grace under pressure".
The third track, "Red Sector A", is particularly notable for its allusions to The Holocaust, inspired by Geddy Lee's memories of his mother's stories about the liberation of Bergen-Belsen, where she was held prisoner.

 Michelle Nijhuis reviews Libby, Montana by Andrea Peacock | By Michelle Nijhuis | Grist Magazine | Books Unbound | 02 ...
It took dozens of painful deaths for Libby residents to admit that "their" company, W.R. Grace, had knowingly allowed its mine workers, its mine managers, and their families and neighbors to be poisoned with tremolite, a particularly nasty form of asbestos contained in Libby's vermiculite deposit.
She unearths the long and often dark history of W.R. Grace, which was founded in Peru in the 1850s by two Irish brothers and later became notorious for its cozy relationships with former Nazis.
The company's shady dealings continued into the 1980s, when Grace executive J. Peter Grace -- then the head of President Reagan's Grace Commission, charged with paring down the federal bureaucracy -- is thought to have squelched an EPA investigation into health problems associated with the vermiculite industry.

 Scotland on Sunday - The Review - Grace under pressure   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
In recent mainstream cinema perhaps only Steven Soderbergh’s Oscar-winning Traffic came close to showing every facet of the war on drugs and how the tentacles of the drug trade stretch from the very poorest locations in the world to the lavish homes of affluent nations.
In many respects, Maria Full of Grace could almost be seen as a companion piece or footnote to Soderbergh’s film from 2000.
Less detailed and much more melodramatic in the final third of the narrative, Maria Full of Grace only falters when it arrives in the familiar territory of gun-toting gangsters, tragic death, bloodshed and a fight for survival on the mean streets of New York.

 GRACE UNDER PRESSURE
Some have cited internal strife as the catalyst, others the choice of new producer Peter Henderson, but regardless of the underlying reason for the change, Grace Under Pressure marked the end of the teenage fantasy and the beginning of a darker (and more mature) world view.
Neil Peart emerges as a sullen sceneshifter, the weight of the world upon him (addressed in the opening “Distant Early Warning”), who finds his darkest voice in the concentration camp setting of “Red Sector A.” The arrangements are less exuberant than past efforts, though still crafted with care and precision.
The knock on Grace Under Pressure is a lack of standout songs; “The Body Electric” (which recalls The Who’s “905”) and “Kid Gloves” are a fair match for anything on Signals, but beyond them only “Distant Early Warning” and “The Enemy Within” invite the comparison to vintage Rush.

Pundits have defined courage as “grace under pressure.” But wordsmiths and philosophers alike would have a difficult time describing the courage of a family with three of four children affected by a rare, degenerative, fatal disease, only one of whom may benefit from a costly, possibly risky but potentially life-saving treatment.

This album needs no critical assistance: If you like Rush, you'll love it; if not, then Grace under Pressure is unlikely to alter your assessment of the band as a lumbering metal anachronism.
For the record, though, Rush has managed to incorporate a number of modern elements into its sound (note the almost danceable rhythms in "Afterimage" and "Red Sector A," and the swelling synthesizers and electropercussion throughout).
Geddy Lee, the group's bassist and vocalist, has also gotten his dog-calling falsetto shriek under control.
