Comments for Rush, Permanent Waves

****1/2 Nears perfection with this, Moving Pictures, Hemispheres, and Signals. PRIME CUTS-- "Spirit Of Radio", "Freewill", "Jacob's Ladder" and possibly their magnum opus, "Natural Science" --J. Teel

Excellent stuff!! The entire first side of the cassette (sorry for those with the LP or CD) is perfection, and they did another great job Natural Science. Rush at (or pretty damn close to) perfection!!

agreed! rush at their peak. every song here is a masterpiece.

Short, concise, beautiful! One of Rush's best albums ever.

Another great cd! My eighth favorite Rush cd and my 37th favorite cd overall!! A tremendous disc with two absolute masterpieces, "Jacob's Ladder" and "Natural Science!" Also, a great Lee-written song, "Different Strings!" The only possible exception to the greatness on this disc can be found on "Entre Nous!" "The Spirit Of Radio" and "Freewill" are also great, but I enjoy the "ESL" version better, as well as the "ESL" version of "Jacob's Ladder!!"

I once heard Neil Peart say in an interview that "The Spirit Of Radio" is their version of perfection: everything Rush as a band wanted to accomplish. Every time I hear it, I am reminded why.

Permanent waves is the greatest rock album of all time! NATURAL SCIENCE is the greatest form of music ever written. Its lyrics, melody, and driving rhythm changes are incredible!!! JACOB'S LADDER, THE SPIRIT OF RADIO, FREEWILL, AND DIFFERENT STRINGS ARE IN A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN. Every man and woman should make love while listening to this masterpiece. Rush will be inducted in the rock and roll hall of fame.

Rush have always been a cool band. This album is their coolest. Starting with The Spirit Of Radio and ending with a giant cut about Natural Science, they keep in time with progressive rock era. They still do nowadays, but I prefer the old school Rush. Their invisible airwaves always crackle with light.
