RUSH 'Contents Under Pressure' 30 Years of RUSH At Home & Away
Submitted on: 2008-11-16 |

I read several reviews on this book before making my purchase, both good & bad... ANY 'true' Rush fan will really enjoy this book.. the neg. review or two I read were def. by other than 'true' fans, that's for sure.
First of all, it's not one of those $35+ books, it has 236 pages, and it cost me a mere $13! For this kind of price I can't see why anybody would talk this book down. It is LOADED with all kinds of info about everything these guys put into there albums and then some, road stories, and bands they've had the pleasure of sharing the stage with throughout their extensive history as Canada's biggest selling rock band of all time.
A huge 'plus' is the amount of pictures not seen before now, at least most of them, both live and studio, and even behind the scenes. These pictures are placed throughout the book in chronological order. I give this book (especially at this price) a very high rating, just buy it, you'll thank yourself later! |

| A decent book for avid Rush fans, although the writing style gets a little overdone. The author seems to be more interested in coming up with adjectives more than anything else. There are a lot of interesting tour stories, along with some terrific pictures. |

Does its job, but left some questions unanswered.

| I enjoyed reading this book and was glad to learn what I did from it, but I felt like it could have had more details. I learned about certain aspects of their live career, sure, but I wanted some elaboration on how this song here was pivotal or how this tour here made them change as people. I mainly wanted to know more about their experiences on the road and how they managed to remain professional despite their adverse living conditions, rather than hear a little about what they did in their spare time. It's still worth reading though. It may change your perspective about the albums by telling you things about them you might not have noticed. |

 Class Acts On Stage & Off

| Read only if you're a Rush fan. I've owned every LP and CD. I also have all their DVD's and seen them twice in concert. A great retrospective of their music with lots of photos. Not the wild party boys you'd expect from a rock band, but that's why they've not burned out and they continue to write great music. The only thing that might have made it better was more actual stories from the road of things they did. This is pretty laid back stuff and the guys are class acts. I enjoyed the book a lot. I think it's a book for long-time fans as lots of the early stuff won't matter to new listeners. |
