	Signals (album) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Signals is the ninth studio album by the Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1982 (see 1982 in music).
		One factor many people tend to overlook in their opinions of this album is the incorporation of some then "new" varied Caribbean influences such as Reggae, Ska, & Calypso, a la another prevalent 1980s trio: The Police.
		Close scrutiny of the album's inner artwork (e.g., the "Blueprint") reveals not only their intent to maintain continuity within certain musical and lyrical themes, but also their self-deprecating sense of humour.

	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.

		Rutsey left after their first album in 1974 and was replaced by virtuoso drummer Neil Peart, who soon took over all lyrical responsibility for the band as well as becoming one of the most famous and renowned drummers in rock.
		Their first album, and only with original drummer John Rutsey, including the rock radio staple "Working Man," an extended Zepplin-esque jam that shows their British blues roots and improvisational skills that would be less apparent as time went on.
		The first album with drummer Neil Peart, who's impact is immediately evident in both his lyric writing on a majority of the tracks and his incredible drumming that would earn him several awards in years to come.

		He signed on with Santana in time to record the band's self-titled third album and witness, first-hand, the disintegration of the original unit that blasted off from the Woodstock stage, as the group's namesake turned to a more ethereal sound and life.
		The first Hammer-Schon 1981 album, “Untold Passion,” was being followed with a second album concurrent with the release of “Frontiers.” Schon also discussed cutting a live album with vocalist Sammy Hagar following the end of the Journey tour.
		Released a month prior to the album as a leadoff single, “Be Good To Yourself,” probably sounded more like a traditional Journey song than anything else on the “Raised On Radio” album and it managed to nick the bottom of the Top Ten at #9.

		There's all of that, but that tends to have a little bit of distance from people's lives, but at the same time I think it is omnipresent, you know, I think that threat does loom somewhere in everyone's subconscious, perhaps.
		"It is one of the 'grace under pressure' themes which captured my imagination on the last album, and is not meant to portray a specific human atrocity, although many of the historical accounts which inspired it were of course set in World War II.
		The last three albums have each contained a part of that trilogy, and I started thinking about them all at the same time, but they appear in the order in which they were easiest to grasp.

		After the albums that came before it, it's obvious that fan's of the band's earlier hard rock material were turned off by the synthesizers, and I am no different.
		This album is even more synth-heavy than the albums that preceeded it, and the band spares no expense at using the synthesizers.
		Grace Under Pressure is sometimes my favorite Rush album, and sometimes it's second to Signals, but either way, it's a masterpiece.

		(Probably in '85, over a decade after the album's release.) I was hanging with Friedmann and he was playing guitar trying to impress a couple of chicks.
		They asked him to play some stones whereupon he passed the axe to me and said, "this is the Stones man." While I knew a couple of Stones tunes back then, I don't think I played any of them.
		The rest of the album ranges from mediocre to excruciating (with the exception of the bass riff on "Digital Man", which I love-- in case that wasn't clear).

		Grace Under Pressure marked a turning point for Rush, starting with the recruitment of producer Peter Henderson, who seems to have polished the sound and removed a lot of the spontaneity.
		Happy moments on Grace are few and far between; the band seems intent on discussing more pertinent issues now, with songs about death, war and concentration camps.
		I was surprised that the sound of this, a 1984 album, so closely mimicked the melodic tendencies of Rush's 90's albums.

		This is the one Rush album every prog and rock fan should have in their collection.
		As mentioned, the album opens with what is surely Rush's most widely known hit, "Tom Sawyer." How can you not be hooked from the brutal opening of this track.
		At 10:56 this is the longest track on the album, and if prog is defined by meter changes and extended passages, then this certainly qualifies.

		Coming off two mega-hit albums, Moving Pictures and Signals with their second live compilation thrown in the middle - Exit...Stage Left, Rush was riding their wave of success and not showing any signs of slowing down.
		The first of 3 songs taken from their Grace Under Pressure album, Red Sector A is one of those haunting songs by Rush that certainly makes you think.
		The second track from the GUP album, this song has a jazzy beat to it that has the crowd jumping for joy while air-guitaring and air-drumming.

	Daily Vault - March 30, 1997
		It was actually this album that first got me interested in Geddy Lee and crew - the video for "Distant Early Warning" was one of the first I saw on MTV when my family got cable.
		This may be why the album did not fare very well on the market.
		Grace Under Pressure is one of Rush's most overlooked works - but ranks among their best efforts ever.

		The 20-year-old song "Red Sector A," from the 1984 album "Grace Under Pressure," comes from a deeply emotional and personal place in the heart of lead singer and bassist Geddy Lee.
		Though "Red Sector A," like much of the album from which it comes, is set in a bleak, apocalyptic future, what Lee calls "the psychology" of the song comes directly from a story his mother told him about the day she was liberated.
		Lee's solo album, "My Favorite Headache," released in 2000, includes the song "Grace to Grace," which he co-wrote with fellow Canadian Ben Mink, a multi-instrumentalist and another child of Holocaust survivors.

		Not a single epic song on the album, and while Neil's lyrics are excelent in Subdivions they fall flat on most of the other tracks.
		If Moving Pictures is your favorite Rush album then you will find this subpar to their previous two albums.
		I think the next album (1984's Grace Under Pressure) is the masterpiece of Rush at least in the eighties (to me this is the best of their entire career) and the song are more darker according with the lyrical content, which deals with the fears and doubts that runs throughout our lives.

		The mood of this album was dark and cynical compared to the three previous albums.
		Grace Under Pressure was Rush's followup to their album Signals and would continue their more synth-based direction.

		This album came out in 1984, when we were at the height of the cold war with Russia!
		Grace Under Pressure is my favourite Rush album.
		With 8 tracks and a running time of under 40 minutes it might not sound like good value for money but it really is. The theme running through this album is one of a futuristic world and anyone who's seen the Star Trek type music video to Distant Early Warning will know what I mean.

	PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY JOHN "BOBO" BOLLENBERG
		The producer on this album is Paul Norhtfield who mixed formerly the live album Different Stages and featured as co-producer on albums such as Moving Pictures, Signals and even on Neil Part's tribute to Buddy Rich.
		Five years after their album Test For Echo the trio tried to work out the same chemistry that lead them to make 16 albums over the past 27 years.
		Approaching the album as a whole, in a contemporary way, and framing the mostly well-considered and psychologically founded lyrics, the 13 songs on this new Rush album are "food" for the younger generation.

	Mystic-State Allusions in Rush Lyrics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		As with the later Rush lyrics, I would characterize the album's lyrics as being a relatively inferior and weak reflection of the Holy Spirit of Christ/Dionysus.
		Grace Under Pressure has many altered-state songs, and innovative style, even if generally bleak and obsessed with paranoia and modern doom and alienation.
		All Rush albums with acid-mystic drummer lyricist Neil Peart have a high density of double-entendres and allusions to the phenomena of the mystic altered state.

		Moving Pictures---- The most radio friendly of all their albums, I've heard every song on this album played on the radio at least once.
		Vapor Trails (2002) - album released May 14th with much less melodic approach; almost no keys whatsoever(vocal effects, patterns used instead); stripped down sound with some influence from Tool, Neil finds an early influence of Keith Moon, experiments with snares, Alex eschews solos for more creative guitar patterns, use of mandola.
		I'd either get the Retrospective albums (since they're remastered) if you want a sampling of their hits, or just get Permanent Waves and Moving Pictures, which you'll probably like all the way through.

	Rush : Grace Under Pressure - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Grace Under Pressure was the first Rush album since 1975's Fly by Night to not be produced by Terry Brown, who was replaced by Peter Henderson (Supertramp, Paul McCartney).
		The change resulted in a slightly more accessible sound than its predecessor, Signals, and marked the beginning of a period where many Rush fans feel that synths and electronics were used too prominently -- in effect pushing guitarist Alex Lifeson into the background.
		The songwriting and lyrics were still strong however, as evidenced by the video/single "Distant Early Warning" (a tale about nuclear war) and the often-overlooked highlight "Kid Gloves," one of the album's few songs to feature Lifeson upfront.

		So we kicked out the two female keyboardists (I sure wish I had their pictures with me now), which was good for the music but bad for popularity, and became a trio.
		All songs were written by either the basist or myself, and all melodies and lyrics were done by me. But the songs developed under our constant sessions and all three of us formulated the songs.
		The album consists of six songs, the length of which varies from 5 minutes to 10.

		One of the greatest rock albums of all time, this album shows that Rush's ability to change and play different kinds of music is the reason they are so successful.
		The album is very Dark, and is often seen as Rush's first 'pop' album, but is more experimental than the last two releases.
		The album is best turned off after the first two tracks, but shows much progress towards their next album, 'Presto'.

	Grace Under Pressure by Rush CD
		The continuous use of synthesizers and keyboards that began on the previous album, SIGNALS, is prominent here.
		Album closer "Between The Wheels" is a gloomy number about pressure and showcases Alex Lifeson's creative chord work.
		Underneath all the dark content in GRACE, there is a theme of hope.

		More than 20 years and 19 albums into their career, Rush continue to defy easy classification.
		On their latest album, Counterparts, Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee and Neil Peart have come full circle, returning to the sort of heavy, guitar-oriented riffs that marked their Seventies sound.
		The keyboard/synthesizer sound took on an ever more significant role in the Eighties, on the albums Signals (1982), Grace Under Pressure (1984), Power Windows (1985) and Hold Your Fire (1987).

		Finally with the 2002 album Vapor Trails, the song Freeze: Part 4 of Fear.

		And in doing so, and returning to the more progressive approach they began on "Seance," their next album ("Heyday") allowed them to find their true voice again - and they were ironically "rewarded" by getting that first hit after all.
		Summing up, this album kind of proves that The Church are a band at a probably early stage stil in their development, but if giving them more chances, they'd eventually find their path, as they did.
		Please use "one" and "five star" ratings very sparingly -- most albums you dislike will have at least some positive qualities, and not every album that you enjoy will be a perfect "masterpiece of prog".

		The song was "The Body Electric" off of "Grace Under Pressure (1984)", and it was apparently about a robot rebelling against its programming and trying to escape.
		At first I started wondering what kind of movies the albums I like would sync up to, but then I realized that when I have something as variably meaningful as music, you can make it go with almost anything.
		For example, I used to listen to the KMFDM album "NIHIL" and play Subspace a lot, and it seemed to me then that the song "Ultra" was meant to go along with space fighters blowing each other up.
