Title: T4E - It's my turn to drive!
Review: 'Echo' (or 'T4E' as it's commonly known) is quite simply Rush's best album since 1981. And we all know what was released that year! The guitars are given the priority on this album like 'Counterparts', although the keyboards aren't completely ignored. Opener and title-track 'Test for Echo' has a nice 'chorusy' guitar part, but it isn't really a sign of what is to come. A change of production team made the difference here; from track two ('Driven') onwards the whole record rocks hard whilst maintaining excellent melodies throughout. There's even a slice of psuedo-punk for good measure ('Dog Years'). If you own that certain Rush CD from '81 and no other, buy this one. 4.5 stars
