Album Notes & Community Reviews
Marking a distinct transition in their sound, Rush pushed synthesizers to the forefront of their arrangements on 'Signals', significantly incorporating new wave influences. While maintaining their signature technical prowess and complex time signatures, the album focuses on shorter, highly melodic songs driven by Neil Peart's introspective, futuristic, and deeply philosophical lyricism.
