Our Review

Though it was considered at the point of release to be a less keyboard-intensive effort, 1989's Presto is still relatively reliant on keyboards for the main thrust of the power trio's sound. Guitarist Alex Lifeson can be heard snarling more prominently, but he still waits in line behind Geddy Lee's impressive keyboard washes and drummer Neil Peart's exemplary drum accents. The ambient undertow of Power Windows and Hold Your Fire is muted but not completely wiped aside. The emphasis remains on the songwriting where the band's pop sense has often been overlooked in light of their instrumental abilities. "Show Don't Tell," "The Pass," and "Scars" are obvious standouts, luxuriating in melodic riches that have always been the band's secret, unsung weapon. Harmonies, lush landscapes and a devout indifference to trends remain at the core of the band's approach. Over the years, they've turned away from the elaborate extended works — no twenty-minute opuses here — for the pleasure that comes with delivering a well-edited point of view.

Very under-appreciated album (5 stars)
I came to Rush like so many of us do, in high school, with the absolutely classic albums Moving Pictures and Signals. Time passed and I moved on to other music -- it's easy to lose track of the band and their relevance, and I somehow just skipped the last decade or more or Rush albums.

This is a album that is.... well hard to review (4 stars)
I think I am one of the few fans of Rush that love the song 'Presto'. Rush themselves don't even like the song and I doubt have ever played it live. I will give every person who dislikes 'Presto' this: the album is definitely not one of their best. It has the two of Rush's popluar songs on this album and they would be, hands down, 'Superconductor' and 'Show Don't Tell'. I like them both and they would be the two that I would recommend the ov

Presto - A fantastic Album! (5 stars)
What really stands out about this album is the superb and thoughtful lyrics and the amazingly articulate musicianship. Hey that sounds like every Rush album! I would almost characterize this as a concept album, where many of the songs focus on magic and illusion - again the ideas of Professor Peart shining through! But again, the music itself is just awesome - Show Don't Tell is catchy and starts the album out with a real bang, with almost
