Another fine Rush New Wave release...

"Hold Your Fire" marks Rush's final foray into the realm of synth-driven rock. There is a nice collaboration with Aimee Mann (of the group 'Til Tuesday) on the biggest hit of the album, Time Stand Still, which (along with Turn The Page) deals with the passage of time. Eastern influences on the band's music (which first appeared on "Power Windows"' Mystic Rhythms) continue with Tai Shan, which (along with High Water and Force Ten) consider the power in nature. Social concerns continue in a point-counterpoint way with tracks like Open Secrets, Lock and Key, and Second Nature while inspiration is covered in Mission and Prime Mover. A well-conceived and executed release, which probably left some longtime fans wondering "This is what Rush has become?" Not so fast guys-- hold your fire. Rush would be back and hard rocking with their next album, "Presto."
