Never before have I had my hopes up this much, only to become so disappointed in the end.
You can laugh all you want at Geddy Lee’s (at times) insanely over-the-top vocals, but the inescapable fact remains that “Permanent Waves” is a well-done and wildly catchy album, laden with happy, feel-good anthems in the style of arena/prog. rock. Actually Geddy tones down his voice a bit for the record, making it more likable and accessible to an even wider audience. Way! One of the main criticisms of Rush no longer counts!
