Negative Positive
Title: A Rush Classic? Nope.
Review: Test For Echo has a few decent songs but as a whole this album is pretty much forgettable. The title track and virtuality rockharder than Rush as since it's 2112 days. Unfortunately both songs are plagued by really bad lyrics. The two songs on this albums that are worth having are Driven and Resist. The version of Driven on Different Stages is more exciting as it has a wonderful live feel and sports a rare bass solo by Geddy Lee. I am not a fan of ballads but Resist has an emotional edge typical of the band. The rest of the songs you can listen to once or twice and never have a desire to hear ever again. Test For Echo like all Rush albums sports incredible muscianship. However the songwriting here is lacking. For diehard Rush fans only.
Is the review positive or negative?
