[HIGHLIGHT] Rush’s 80s Synth Era: Genius or Sellout? - From EP 380
Did Rush’s 80s synth era go too far—or was it a bold evolution?
In this episode highlight, I ask Richard James, author of Rush 1984 to 2015: Every Album, Every Song (On Track), what he really thinks about Rush’s shift in the 1980s. As keyboards took center stage on albums like Signals, Grace Under Pressure, and Power Windows, some fans pushed back hard.
Was the criticism fair? Did Rush lose something—or gain a whole new dimension?
