A deepening of progressiveness that combines intellectual construction and emotion.
This album combines the intricate ensemble of a guitar trio with human themes, and is characterized by the technical yet warm sound that Rush achieved in the late '90s.
This album showcases Rush's musical maturity, blending aggressive performance techniques with philosophical lyrics. "Driven" and "Test for Echo" feature structured guitars and complex rhythms, delivering technical yet emotional depth. Neil Peart's lyrics explore the human psyche and its relationship to society, emphasizing the band's philosophical side. The album combines '90s hard rock with progressive rock composition, creating a striking contrast between stillness and movement. The recording quality is also high, making this an important album that symbolizes Rush's later period.
