  Hold Your Fire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hold Your Fire is the twelfth studio album by the Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1987 (see 1987 in music).
The album was recorded at The Manor in Oxfordshire, Ridge Farm Studio in Surrey, Air Studios in Montserrat and at McClear Place in Toronto.
Although Hold Your Fire uses nearly as much synthesizer as its predecessor, Power Windows, Hold Your Fire’s guitar riffs and solos are considerably more common on several songs.

It was the type of fire people had been dreading as northern Arizona came out of its driest fall and winter in more than 100 years.

Of course, the fact that a gun is used for defense does not mean that a shot is fired, or an attacker wounded or killed.
Since the guns do not fire faster than other guns, legislative definitions sometimes focus on extraneous features, such as the presence of a bayonet lug -- as if we were suffering from a rash of criminals bayoneting people.
Purdy's rate of fire could have been duplicated by anyone with an old-fashioned bolt-action rifle or simple revolver, and autopsies of the victims showed that the wounds were approximately equal in severity to wounds associated with a medium-sized handgun, which explains why 29 of the 35 people who were shot survived.

The truth of these statements is indicated by experimental nature of the album in regards to composition and harmonics - simply compare it to earlier albums and you'll wonder if you're listening to the same band.
The songs, though not short, are considerably shorter than most of the band's earlier work; the harmonics are more radio-friendly, and it's my own personal opinion that the lyrics are beyond anything else they've ever done.
Hold Your Fire, as I've said, is not over-popular with some diehard Rush fans.

 Rush : Hold Your Fire - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Hold Your Fire is an album in the purest sense; infinitely greater than the sum of its parts, it gradually draws in the listener by slowly revealing its nuances and secrets.
While the use of keyboards is still overwhelming at times, Geddy Lee employs lush textures which, when coupled with a greater rhythmic and melodic presence from guitarist Alex Lifeson, results in a far warmer sound than in recent efforts.
Of course, drummer Neil Peart is as inventive and exciting as ever, while his lyrics focus on the various elements (earth, air, water, fire) for much of the album.

 RE: Rush-Hold Your Fire Appreciation Thread!
I have a special place for HYF because 1986-7 was when I got into Rush (after my Dad played me Exit...Stage Left) and HYF was not only the first Rush album I got, it was the first album by anyone that I bought with my own money.
HYF and AFK were the first Rush records I bought, and they have stayed with me. HYF inspired me lyrically more than anything, and it really motivated me to take my writing seriously.
Hold your Fire is one of my favorites....I listen to it more often than the others....However, I am into Counterparts and Signals as well as favorites!!

The theme even illustrated the cover of their 1978 opus, "Hemispheres." Led by bassist-singer's Geddy Lee's love it or hate it falsetto vocal style, "Hold Your Fire" is a fitting bookmark to what was perhaps the most productive and musically-rich chapter in the band's history.
Drummer Neil Peart's pensive lyrics provide the plot for what turns out to be the end of the musical journey begun with 1980's "Permanent Waves." As the title suggests, the theme of the album is the human struggle to temper instinct and passion with intellect and restraint.
This is not to say, however, that "Hold Your Fire" is a sterile album.
