    Bought it the day it came out. Put me off so much I barely bothered with any new Rush for the next 15 years.

    I tried to get into it again while the album-by-album thread was going, and still couldn't. Leaves me cold. As cold as the art on the cover looks.

    I initially did not like this album when it was released in 1984, but it has grown on me over the years. A seriously under rated album IMHO.

    Grace Under Pressure is one of my favourites, and I consider it one of Rush's best.

    Ken.e. Spinning music since...

    Behind my house is a forest and a new weed (garlic mustard) has taken over the forest floor. It made me think of the Rush song The Trees which has been playing in my head ever since. After reading a few articles it enhanced my correlation to the song.

    I love that song and how Neil attached human emotions to the trees. After reading this how would Neil put this weeds agressive nature to lyrics?

    "The third reason it is considered an invasive plant is its long tap root. Normally plants with long tap roots only have one plant growing from the root. The tap root of garlic mustard has the ability to grow additional plants from buds that form along the root. Additionally, the root is allopathic meaning it excretes chemicals that prevent other plants from growing near it. This includes tree seedlings, another reason why a garlic mustard infestation is so disastrous for forests. The chemicals exuded by the tap root are also harmful to fungi in the soil that is needed by the roots of other plants."

    I think The Trees was Neil at his Objectivist worst. I wish he never discovered Rand - Rush would've been far better off for it.

    No Rand, no 2112, and possibly the end of the band? No thanks, I'll take what we got instead, lyrics and all. How much better off could it have been?

    Meh. I trust Peart to have come up with something just as clever, if not more so.

    Yeah you nailed it. I’ve read interviews where he dismisses the whole Rand thing. Just something he went through. Not lifetime ideology

    Definitely not.

    While Neil never completely related to / agreed with Ayn's objectivist philosophy, the individual aspects of it were still a big part of his life long after the '70s...

    Well......there are certainly interviews you can view on Youtube where he's expressing support for Libertarian political candidates well into the 90's. But at the same time, the political/spiritual/social views he expresses in his many writings don't always line up with a strict Libertarian agenda, and certainly not with hyper-extreme views such as Rand's.

    Probably most accurate to say that Neil -- like all of us -- had definite leanings, but his world view was complicated and largely based on his own experiences.

    ....and if you believe what he said in interviews about the story line in 2112, it was only after the fact that he realized the similarity to the plot of Anthem, and thus the acknowledgment in the album's liner notes.
