The album opens with \u201cShow Don\u2019t Tell,\u201d a return to the band\u2019s hard rock roots. After a primal percussion intro, the song rips into the complex chord-bashing that Rush fans have grown to love. After four years of pastel washes of guitar and synthesizer textures, it is a welcome return to form. This is the album\u2019s first single, and has received well deserved airplay on local rock stations. Another standout track on this album is \u201cThe Pass,\u201d a moving plea for hopefulness amidst despair. The song is centered on teenage suicide and features the best vocal work that singer\/bHelp\/keyboardist Geddy Lee has ever exhibited. The musical basis of the track is bass chords played expertly by Lee. The lyrics are startling and direct and drummer\/lyricist Neil Peart has never penned a more accessible piece.<\/p>\n<p> As the centerpiece of the album, the title track, \u201cPresto,\u201d is one of their few principally acoustic works, and one of the most melodic they\u2019ve ever done. It seems Peart finally knows exactly what he wants to say, and he expresses it beautifully. We sympathize with his pensive loneliness when he writes, \u201cThe evening plane rises up from the runway, over constellations of light, I look down over a million houses, and wonder what you\u2019re doing tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The album has a more stripped down feel, and the keyboards, which were so overwhelming on their last two studio albums, \u201cHold Your Fire\u201d and \u201cPower Windows\u201d are kept to a critical mass on \u201cPresto\u201d giving the album a directness and feel that was lacking on the ultra-polished albums. After disappointing sales for their last live double LP, \u201cA Show Of Hands,\u201d \u201cPresto\u201d is selling very well.<\/p>\n<p>Rush is composed of Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart, and, anyone who knows will be quick to tell you that these are three of the most accomplished musicians in the history of rock music. It is fair to say that Neil Peart is simply the premier drummer in music today and has been for the last several years. The percussion on the songs \u201cScars,\u201d \u201cSuperconductor,\u201d and \u201cAvailable Light\u201d are simply fantastic, and one doesn\u2019t need to be a drummer to appreciate his agility, speed, and thoughtful drum patterns. Neil Peart is simply the percussion messiah. Alex Lifeson is a master of the guitar as his final track on \u201cPresto\u201d is jazzy and slick. The song, \u201cAvailable Light\u201d is one of the better tracks lyrically, with Peart\u2019s search to see the light. \u201cRun to light from shadow, sun gives me no rest, promise offered in the east, broken in the west, chase the sun around the world, I want to look at life , in the available light.\u201d \u201cAvailable Light\u201d has a brief but brilliant solo delivered dexterously by Lifeson that inspires all potential guitarists to rethink their approach to their instrument. Geddy Lee proves himself deft and skillful on the tracks \u201cWar Paint\u201d and \u201cHand Over Fist.\u201d He also blazes through an amazing bass solo on \u201cShow Don\u2019t Tell.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresto\u201d is a marvelous album, easily the band\u2019s best since 1981\u2019s \u201cMoving Pictures.\u201d For those seeking the most creative, innovative, and progressive hard rock of the year one should definitely try \u201cPresto.\u201d Don\u2019t settle for cheap imitations; it\u2019s the one with the rabbits on the cover.<\/p>\n<p>Rating: 9 out of 10<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cPresto,\u201d the 17th album by the Canadian power trio, Rush, marks a turning point in the band\u2019s musical direction.
