Fully revised and updated, Rush is a richly illustrated history of one of the world's greatest rock bands. In 1974, a Canadian rock band called Rush took the music scene by storm. Throughout the 1970s and raging into the 1980s, the band grew a tidal wave of followers and produced such hit songs as "Limelight," "Subdivisions," and "Tom Sawyer." Inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013, this progressive rock, hard rock, and heavy metal band is destined to go down in history as legendary. The band continues to make history today. Rush: The Illustrated History is a fully updated, richly illustrated history from prolific rock journalist and noted Rush authority Martin Popoff. The book follows the world-conquering exploits of Rush band members Geddy Lee, Neil Peart, and Alex Lifeson from the band's formation in Toronto to their fortieth anniversary celebration and tour. Popoff's stellar history is complemented by LP reviews from a slate of highly regarded music writers, a thorough discography compiled by the author himself, and more than 400 photographs and articles of memorabilia, from candid backstage images and live performance photography to picture sleeves, gig posters, period print ads, ticket stubs, backstage passes, and more. The result is a visually stunning and authoritative review befitting the rock band with one of the most devoted fan bases ever. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

As a history of the band, it's far too slight to be quite satisfying, but it is a nice, pleasant walk down memory lane for Rush fans. My one big complaint about it involves a design choice: the text is printed somewhat lightly against a background patterned with faint images, and it's genuinely a bit difficult to read in anything but ideal lighting conditions. I'm willing to forgive it a lot, though, because, in the final pages, it alerted me to the existence of a remixed version of Vapor Trails, which I'd somehow utterly missed -- I know, I know, I'm clearly a Fake Rush Fan -- and had been grumpily longing for for years when I could have already had it in my hot little ears.
Rating: I was kind of set to give this a slightly stingy 3.5/5, not for any great reason, just for being a bit physically hard to read and not as in-depth as I might have liked, but the Vapor Trails thing has put me in such a good mood, I'm giving it a 4/5 instead. Hey, nobody ever said my ratings couldn't be idiosyncratic and arbitrary! ( )
