The 1975 arrival of drummer Neil Peart transformed Rush’s sound, adding prog sharpness to their heavy blues and offering insightful lyrics. The confidence is clear from the start: “Anthem” and “Best I Can” push Peart’s intricate precision to the fore and prepare the ground for the shuffling dynamics of “Beneath, Between and Behind”. And while “Fly By Night” suggests an alternate career in power pop, it’s the furiously compact rock epic “By-Tor and the Snow Dog” that points to the band’s future.
