References: Rush lyrics CAN sometimes be annoying, but overall, I believe that they are very good. The song 'Chemistry' (from the album Signals) wasn't that good, but 'Losing It', 'The Weapon', and 'New World Man' are all quite impressive. The lyrics to the songs 'After Image' and 'Between the Wheels' off the new album are also excellent. The music is almost always well arranged, and they are overwhelming live performers. I've been off the net for a while, but as recently as last year, this wasn't a very popular opinion. Are there any other Rush fans out there ? -- Ziggy

I agree with you on 'chemistry', I almost always skip over it. You didn't mention that the lyrics on 'Subdivisions', 'The Analog Kid', and 'The Digital Man' also work very well. However, the balence between the music and the vocals on 'Between the Wheels' isn't good; the musics seems to over- power the vocals in certain place. Assuming that you too are a Rush fan, do you happen to know any of the early history of the group? I'm interested in why John Rutsey left Rush after their first album, and how they found Neal Peart as a replacement. j
