Solid Rush New Wave release...

"Power Windows" represents possibly the pinnacle of the New Wave period of Rush. Produced with Peter Collins, and with superbly crafted hits like The Big Money, and Marathon, the band completely sheds the fictional concept themes of earlier albums, in favor of more realistic subject matter. Territories and Manhattan Project continue the social consciousness trend of Rush albums by exploring nationalism and its consequences, while Middletown Dreams further discusses the disillusioning nature of middle class suburbia (first started on "Signals"' Subdivisions). The release of this album also coincided with the first version of Microsoft Windows (which may or may not have been intentional), but which was certainly prescient, given the album's focus on various types of power. It is only fitting that a power trio would cover such a subject well, and there are few tracks from this album which disappoint. Highly recommended.
