Title: Deconstruction at its worst
Review: Unless you really enjoy academic writing, I would avoid this one. I did graduate work in an area similar to this, and I found the author's attempt to deconstruct (find hidden meaning) in what are very obvious lyrics, strained at best. The author sees very little in Rush other than themes of fighting programming, and the quest for the individual. While those themes are clearly there, sometimes a song is a song. I found myself rolling my eyes at many of the observations in this text. Do yourself a favor and listen to the songs while reading the lyrics. If you aren't bright enough to understand fairly simply lyrical meanings, you will really dislike this book.
