Before Rush started singing about goblins and hemispheres, they wrote about good old fashioned sex and work.
This is like Black Sabbath without the darkness: a superb collection of three-minute classics. The guitar riffs are timeless, and good enough to be half-inched by any number of 21st-century rock bands.
Don't let the naff cover put you off: if you like loud electric guitars and great melodies you will love this album.

FINDING MY WAY-title track could easily be applied to the entire album. A very early example of Rush's talents it is easy to hear the many musical influences that helped to shape the future band we all know and love. Led Zeppelin, Budgie, Black Sabbath to mention a few, are all in there somewhere but Ill let you have the fun deciding which band inspired which tracks. Sorry no extra points for guessing correctly.
NEED SOME LOVE is a great upbeat track as is FINDING MY WAY both having a strong beat and plenty of rhythm. In contrast HERE AGAIN sounds a bit laboured and plodding-good guitar bit in the middle though,
On a heavier note WHAT YOURE DOING has an excellent thumping beat, best appreciated through headphones to get the full benefit from the echo effect on the vocals. Watch out for the BIG FINNISH!!!!
If like me, you like to sing along <so long as there is no one around to hear me>then the unsophisticated lyrics and easier pace of IN THE MOOD is the track for you.
Then for the "quiet bit" but not for long, BEFORE AND AFTER is much more peaceful and melodic to start with but soon leads into another brilliant showcase for the busy guitar fingers of Mr Lifeson.
Final track WORKING MAN, or is it the start of Passage to Bangkok <had to check I had the right CD here> is another solid heavy metal influenced track, just slightly too long for its own good as it tends to wander off a bit in the middle.
I really enjoyed this album, as it is a promise of things to come. Full of enthusiasm, power and enjoyment not to mention talent it has the real beginnings of a future Superband.
I strongly recommend you follow the manufacturers instructions "For best results play at maximum volume" What else!!!

Okay so I am a big Rush fan but this is album is sheer class when you think when it was released. Stomping numbers right through from start to finish. I still love this album as much as the day I first heard it and think I always will

It is a testament to the band as to how far each album is removed from each other. Rush's first is the most 'rocky' and akin to Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, alas without being... Read more

A good, solid rock album
Various debate about whether or not this is a "proper" Rush LP. After all, there's no Neil Peart, and it's lyrically a much more basic album. Read more

A fun rock album, totally lacking the sophistication of their later work and Neal Peart had yet to join the band on drums. Read more
