Editorial Reviews

The yearlong 40th anniversary celebration of all things Rush is in full swing. Since the band launched its final major tour in May, adoring fans have been turning out in droves for one the few remaining chances to experience Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart performing together in concert. Along with the R40 tour, the band is also reissuing their studio albums on high-quality vinyl.

Following the recent R40 tour finale in Los Angeles, Rush announces the rollout of the vinyl versions of six studio albums the band recorded for Atlantic Records between 1989 and 2007. All of the albums will be pressed on audiophile-quality, 200-gram vinyl and each will come with a code to access a high-definition digital download.

Records were half-speed mastered by Sean Magee at Abbey Road Studios.

    As a Rush fan for over 30 years, I really thought this would be a silly little throw-away release of some songs that I've heard far too many times on the travesty that is modern FM radio. But it's not - it really rocks, and even swings. There's a wonderfully clean and stripped down joy to these covers that's infectious. Every time I click on just one of the songs, I invariably let it run and listen to the whole thing. It's just so energetic and - this is sadly a rarity for these guys - fun.

    Don't get me wrong, I love their work, but it sometimes has a fussy and overcomplicated quality to it that takes real effort to listen to. That's not a bad thing at all, which is why this EP is such a joy. It's like they are playing a garage party or something. Even Peart's kit sounds simplified and there's something very fascinating about hearing him and Geddy play more simplified but still tight lines. Alex gets the real workout here since he's the single guitar in what were typically multi-tracked songs, but that's kind of his forte, and it sounds great here.

    Here's hoping they put out another one of these at the 40th anniversary.

    This album of late '60s Classic Rock covers has Psych-styled cover art. It's a solidly Classically Rocking, musical, highly listenable album; each track would be good for repeat listening. Recommended for those who have any interest in Rush and Psych-into-Classic Rock. If your tastes are such that you'd consider it if it's well-done, I guarantee you'll thoroughly like it.

    It's uncanny how the overall production and amp tone on this compilation sound like Rush in their prime, like tracks recorded during Caress of Steel through Grace Under Pressure, their heavy classic rocking 2112 era. The opening of The Seeker ("I asked Timothy Leary") sounds like Bastille Day. The spirit of this compilation hearkens back not to the '60s, but instead, to 30 years back to the heroic glory days of the mid-1970s. I suspect Alex Lifeson is using the same amps and effects as used for Caress of Steel and 2112. This uses classic Heavy Rock studio techniques such as heavy, controlled guitar-amp feedback.

    The fuzzy lead guitar tone in Shapes of Things sounds like the 2112 album. The period-devoted retro-vintage production philosophy is like that of Lenny Kravitz or the Dukes of Stratosphear. This is a must-have album for great textured, wind-blown, Marshall amp, power-tube saturation, Classic Heavy Acid Rock tube-amp tone.

    I used to save those annoying free AOL cd's thinking that one day I would spread them around my house to use as coasters. Well simply put, they just don't work. The moisture just dribbles off them like water off a duck's back, leaving an even bigger ring on your table than the original glass would have left. My point is, this cd would NOT make a good coaster, as one reviewer has already suggested.

    The intro and outro on the first song, Summertime Blues, are undeniably Rushesque. After four listenings, the only other thing that to me sounds like pure Rush is Geddy Lee's voice. But that's not a bad thing. In several spots, the lyrics are now understandable where they weren't on the original version. On The Seeker Lee does a great job of hitting the high vocal notes and Lifeson plays a very convincing Pete Townshend. Crossroads and Mr. Soul instrumentals sound very close to the originals.

    Overall, these three Canadians adeptly capture the sound of an early era of rock. It really brings you back, that is, if you happen to be old enough. The only disappointment to me is that there are just not enough songs on the cd.

    Listen not with a cynical mind. Open your mind and let it in. You'll enjoy it.

    Rush's new "Feedback" release is an EP featuring covers of 8 classic songs from the 1960's such as "Summertime Blues," "For What It's Worth," and "Crossroads." The band members display samples of their various influences, including The Who, The Yardbirds (and Byrds), Buffalo Springfield and of course, Cream.
    This is a great set. Geddy, Alex and Neil have fun with the material. The covers are fairly spot on, with the unique Rush sound an added spin. Each song clocks in under four minutes, which must be a first for Rush. I like the chosen material, especially "The Seeker" and "Mr. Soul" with Alex's added twist of elements from "Eight Miles High." The recording of Geddy's vocals, doubled and slightly filtered, sounds cool. Neil's drumming, as always, is rock solid, and I echo the comments that most of it is in 4/4 time, but great. The secret weapon is Alex Lifeson, always the excellent counterbalance between Geddy and Neil. Lifeson is an underrated player, and his various textures give each song a different feel.
    My only bump: It was too brief! I wanted more. But perhaps this means that a full disk worth of new material may be in the works...

    Rush creates one of the best albums full of cover songs from the great rock groups of the past. Not a bad cut in the bunch. If you know the songs, you’ll love the honest renditions Rush gives them all. Not a bad song in the lot. Thinking about getting it? Just get it and you’ll be glad you did!

    I was a big Rush fan when I was in college. Now one of my sons is in college and Rush is his favorite band (we recently saw them live for the 2nd time together). Last year, for Christmas, I found this album by Rush on Amazon that I didn't even know existed.... and it's the first ever cover music that Rush did.

    I won't go into the song cuts except to say that Rush stayed true both to the original songs (which they say influenced their style and sound) and to their own style of playing. The gift was a great surprise to my son and sheer delight to me to listen to Rush playing someone else's music.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Rush celebrando la música en su aniversario.
    Reviewed in Mexico on September 12, 2017
    No tenía nada en mi colección de Rush y este disco se convirtió en la oportunidad inmediata para hacerlo. Un disco de covers a muy buen precio interpretado con músicos que no tienen nada de baratos. No he estudiado todavía de quién son todos los covers pero de entrada tienes a eddie cochran y su summertime blues más the yardbirds, cream y the who como autores de algunos de los temas originales contenidos aquí, todo esto enmarcado en vinil de 200 gr en gatefold y se vuelve una experiencia musical y auditiva muy seria. Recomendado 100% sobre todo para los rockeros de corazón. Trae una descarga digital ya cáduca, así es esto, pero para mí lo importante es el vinil.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Rush meet the Who
    Reviewed in Australia on June 8, 2021
    A bit of fun from our Canadian heroes as they run through some of their influences and it is a wonderful diversion and celebration of the music that inspired them.

    Opens with Summertime Blues - it really does sound like the Who.

    Some choices may surprise and 'Heart full of Soul' and 'Shapes of Things' are faithful to the original - if a little heavier - well it is Rush!

    Three which offer a different approach are; For what it's Worth, Mr Soul and Seven and Seven is. Slowing things down here and there and quite bluesy in places.

    Crossroads closes the album in typical style making this an enjoyable detour.

    Should not be critically appraised for all the above reasons - just join in the fun.
