	Signals (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Signals is the ninth studio album by the Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1982 (see 1982 in music).
		Signals was the follow-up to the successful Moving Pictures.
		Signals represented the band's last collaboration with producer Terry Brown, who had co-produced every Rush album since 1975's Fly by Night, and had engineered the eponymous first album in 1974.

	Signals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Signals is also an album by the progressive rock band Rush.
		However after the summer of 2004, the band parted ways with the bass player and went on to enter the school talent show enlisting the help of a friend to play bass on a part time basis.
		The manager at Ivory Blacks was impressed enough with the band that he gave them time to record their first demo at the club.

	Signals (album) - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		One factor many people tend to overlook in their evaluation of this album is the incorporation of some then "new" Caribbean influences such as reggae, ska, and calypso, a la another prevalent 1980s trio: The Police.
		The next several albums in the Rush discography, including Signals, would feature a 5-7 minute "climax" that is usually popular more among close fans than with casual listeners, including "Between the Wheels" from Grace Under Pressure and "Mystic Rhythms" from Power Windows.
		Signals is also notable for being one of the earliest albums to be recorded and mixed digitally.

	Daily Vault - November 10, 1998
		Signals' soundscape is muddied with the band's attempt to incorporate thicker synthesizer tracks into the album's mix, and is a harsh contrast to Moving Pictures' lush layering and bright, powerful drum performance.
		The hooks on many of Signals' songs, especially the chorus to "Chemistry", are filled with a ska-like blend of cha-chink guitar chords and soaring vocal/synth melodies.
		As the album's other science lesson, "Countdown" relives the first Space Shuttle launch, to which the band was invited and attended in an area known as Red Sector A (a nod to the Rush geeks out there - you know who you are).

	Cygnus-X1.Net - A Tribute to Rush - Album Review: Signals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Signals is the first of many albums that would re-write the sound of Rush - making them more of a mainstream attraction, but never dissolving the roots that they had established over the last decade.
		The third track on Signals is a jazzy tune called Chemistry - somewhat of a departure for Rush, but similar in style to their Vital Signs track on 'Moving Pictures'.
		Signals ends with yet-another synth heavy song in Countdown - a great song that details the launch of the space shuttle, and how man has captured its dream of exploration.

	Adrian's Album Reviews : Rush (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The album as a whole is hardly an essential work although should still be interesting to Rush fans of a completist nature.
		The album as a whole is noticeable for the guitar riffs, simple catchy lines interspersed with solo's and variation.
		this album was a very unusual but i love the hit song in that album that i hear on rock 103 all the time and i love it.

	Album 36: Danger Signals
		The album kicks it off in high gear with The W.E. This episode introduces the storyline of a new Whit's End in Connellsville, which is continued in Chains.
		The album is a great addition to the AIO cannon.
		GOOF ALERT (or is it?): The album cover shows a microphone stand sitting very near the edge of a step.

	RUSH Signals reviews and MP3
		Most also consider this album to be the beginning of the "Alex Lifeson Syndrome", which is when he changed his hair, amplification devices, and guitars for every album/tour as well as the loss his "lead edge" that he had in the 70's.
		In short, purists may judge this album as the beginning of the end of greatness for Rush (short compositions and what not) but I prefer to think it was the first album where the boys achieved a true, full sound that stands the test of time.
		After this album, the emphasis on synths took over the band and they lost their way a little for a while, but on Signals, the guitars are still upfront, if more subtle, and keys are used judiciously.

	Rush : Signals - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Synthesizers were now an integral part of the band's sound, and replaced electric guitars as the driving force for almost all the tracks.
		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 were successfully adapting to the musical climate of the early '80s.

	PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY STEPHANIE SOLLOW
		Not like the new wave artists of the period, of course; this is not perky, poppy synthetic rock.
		But incorporated into the band's arrangements was the synthesizer, though this wasn't the first Rush album to do so, maybe the first where it was so prevalent.
		What it does here is gives the whole album a smooth patina a bit of a haze.

	RUSH Grace Under Pressure reviews and MP3
		This is my favorite Rush album because it reaches deep into the fears and traumas associated with the technology their music helps advance - the synthetic future, in which people must find their humanity in a world increasingly dominated by machines.
		Although not a perfect album by any means, it is a bold step forward for a band that at the time was agressively looking for new directions in 1983, after releasing their masterpiece album Signals.
		This album is a continuation of signals where the songs are shorter yet have intricate messages, like Red Sector A, The Enemy within and of course Distant Early Warning.

		This album will stand as a shining example for years to come as what can be accomplished by recycling ideas into new art.
		This album heavily relies on samples, and many of them sound as if they are straight out of lounge jazz of the sixties.
		The Busy Signals are/is making the future happen by reminding us where we've been and upping the ante, adding things to the mix to make us think about where we could go if we'd just listen more closely.

	Amazon.com: Signals: Music: Rush (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Rush had already begun using electronics and synth in their music by the time Signals was released in 1982, so the synth-heavy opener, "Subdivisions" (a song that proves that high-school separatism is older than last year), wasn't that great a departure from their previous material.
		The band has still made great phenomenal albums (and even made a bleaker sounding album in Grace Under Pressure), but this is the one that speaks to me. It's like a perfect conversation with your best friend you haven't seen in a long time.
		Signals is overall a good disc, but the songs start blending together making it hard to distinct from one another.

	Signals by Rush CD
		After the 1981 smash album MOVING PICTURES, Rush decided to lead their cult of loyal fans down a slightly different musical route while continuing to maintain their high level of expertise.
		The result, SIGNALS, was a very unique album for the group and ushered in an era that focused their sound toward keyboard-centered orchestrations and tight, stylized arrangements.
		Still, there are some excellent tracks on this album, including "Subdivisions," "Analog Kid," and "The Weapon." To me, Rush didn't drop the ball at all but rather bit on the keyboard bug a bit, which was something that was pretty much unavoidable at the time.

	Rolling Stone : Signals : Review
		On their twelfth album, Rush makes a strong argument for the view that advanced technology is not necessarily the same thing as progress.
		Although Signals is chockablock with state-of-the-studio gadgetry, ranging from the requisite banks of synthesizers to the latest in digital recording and mixing, none of these electronic add-ons enhances the group's music.
		By and large, the songs on Signals are tuneful and unencumbered by the sort of gratuitous flash that made previous albums seem like clearinghouses for worn-out art-rock licks.

		There is a sense of looseness and playfulness about the album, though it has it's share of serious songs also.
		The low point of this song and the entire album is the "oh's" that Geddy sings during the refrain.
		This is my favorite song on the album and was one of many highlights for me when I saw them live on the Roll the Bones tour.

	THE ULTIMATE RUSH ALBUM round 2 - part 1
		Signals for me. Grace Under Pressure is a very good album though.
		Even though it was a pretty radical departure from Signals in terms of Rush's sound, the progression from Signals to GUP doesn't seem as "jolting" to me nowadays in the grand scheme of Rush albums.
		Easy one for me. Signals is great and all.....but GUP is in my top 3 Rush albums; not a weak moment on it IMO.

	HYBRIDMAGAZINE.COM \| REVIEWS \| Voice in the Wire - Signals in Transmission album review
		But it is the feel that is truly captured, that post-punk riotous addiction to the speed and melody, that puts this album over the top.
		The music is accessible, without paying obeisance to a mainstream sound; it sounds like it could be on the radio, and if I had my druthers, I would rather listen to this than a majority of the crap being broadcast today.
		The production at times could be cleaner, but it works for the majority of the album as the melee of instruments clash in a coherent way.

	Rush / Signals album review [plus 'Subdivisions' song lyrics]
		"Signals," one of the band's best albums, takes on many themes of modern life.
		Geddy Lee, who had finally learned to control his voice on the previous album ("Moving Pictures") is in top form here.
		All of the tunes on Signals are notably sonorous and warm, which disappointed some fans of the "blazing-guitars and screaming vocals" era Rush.

		Tentatively self-titled, this album will be an eclectic mix of styles from all three of their prior records; this time with an emphasis on the heavier elements.
		The new album have been planned to record this year, but OMNIUM GATHERUM is seeking a new label home at the moment, as the band parted ways also with their former label Nuclear Blast while ago...
		The album, released last fall on Roadrunner Records, is about society being controlled and divided through all sorts of different influences — both internal and external — and realizing that there are external forces keeping too many things hidden from the general populace.

	Bloodlines archives Digest V1 No 453 - August 24-25, 1999
		The arguement was settled sometime after midnight (John and "Dave" were there as witnesses) when Allan produced the album from his archives and we played it over and over a la the "Paul is Dead" ritual on the Beatles White Album fame.
		It was the birth of the "Teresa" album, as LordFrench picked up a guitar and sang songs from TBTAMC for John as John looked bemused tyring to remember when he'd written this stuff.
		The album is "Western Wall: the Tucson Sessions"...and I think Western Wall is a song written by Roseanne (I'll check with my guru, Lordfrench, to verify that)...there's a few JS connections there.

		The release of their latest album, Smoke Signals, and the addition of a third band mate, Howard Gilliam, has sent Point Line Plane's unusual sound spinning off in yet another direction.
		The album is characterized by flawless rasping shrieks, maniacally distressed drumming and harsh, but catchy, synthetic keyboard arrangements.
		By the time anyone sees us touring for this record, we'll be far beyond the "Smoke Signals" album mindset.
