Title: Cacophony
Review: This has to be one of those most harsh, noisy, annoying records I've heard in a while. Mind you, I don't make a habit of hearing records like that, but I'd certainly never expected Rush to head in that direction. I haven't really followed their career as such, but what attracted me to Rush was their strong sense of melody within the progressive framework. Sadly, none of that is on display here. It's just a sonic assault from the word go, with completely nondescript songs.A poor effort from a band I'd only just begun to really respect. If you, like, me, have heard and loved "Moving pictures" and "Permanent Waves", you'll want to stay far, far away from this one.
