I don't care what anyone says about this album! IT IS GREAT! A Great start for my favorite band. And look, we all know this isn't Peart on drums, but Rustey still opened the band in AN AWESOME WAY! RIP Rustey.
And some people criticize the album because it sounds too much like Led Zeppelin. Well you know what? WHO CARES! At least this band made their own lyrics! It would've been worse if they covered Zeppelin! Great start! Five stars! Enough SAID! |

| This was a great 1st album by Rush, although the badass on the drum kit(Neil Pert) is not on this album it is still very good. John Rutsey (R.I.P.) is the drummer on this album, although he's nothing to write home about he is a solid timekeeper. This album puts me in the mind set of Zeppelin or early Sabbath, moreso Zeppelin though. Working Man was my farovite track, very Sabbath sounding Tony Iommi would be impressed!! |

I have been a fan of Rush for over 30 years. I saw them live in 1977.
Many of there albums could be called my favorite, but Rush is got to be one of the best. Every song rocks and also makes you feel good.
Thanks Rush for giving us all of your music in all there forms. |

One of my long-standing very favorites--from any band...

I've got a few hundred mostly hard rock albums from the 70's and 80's and this disk has been one of my favorites since I bought it on vinyl 20 some years ago. I've noticed that this only gets 3 1/2 stars overall, which has started to bug me since that's a pretty weak rating for music on Amazon. I guess it's because most people were disappointed when they bought back in the catalogue after RUSH hit it huge that the first RUSH album was not like the prog Rush they hear on all the other albums--overall this is straight up hard-driven rock and roll something along the lines of Foghat and earlier Kiss.
And this disk has great musical balance and it's full of memorable, catchy tunes. The whole thing is just awesomely good! Geddy Lee belts 'em out here like nowhere else in their catalogue except some spots on 2112.
"Finding My Way" is a great intro into the album, as a feel-good rocker. "Take a Friend" adds another song along those lines. Then they rip it up with ones like "What You're Doing" and "Here and After", which remind me of some of the meanest and best by the 80's metal group Fastway. The only song from this disk that gets any airplay is "Working Man", which is great, but--at least I think--not necessarily a standout on this album since all the tracks are so consistently good.
Rush went prog after this, but definitely not because they had to. The kind of talent going on here could have taken them in many directions. The change could have come with introduction of new drummer, Neil Peart, on the second album. Anyway, if you're a Rush or Prog. 'fan' and carry all that baggage that fans often do, then you're less likely to like this. But if you love just great, straight up hard rock with nice raw production and recording, then you'll wear out your player with this really great album--most enthusiastically recommended!!! |
