Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great cd! Early Rush, remastered, no Neil Peart but the music is great. Working man comes to life ! Very happy, great sound cheap price!

i love this raw rock sound from the very young Rush bands 1st album. I got this CD on sale for less than $5. what a steal.

These are some of the older Rush songs I loved hearing when going to concerts. Now I can listen every day on CD!

This Rush music I bought originally when I was 16 years old. I'm 59 and it's still my favorite Rush music!

This is really a good cd. Especially reminds me of when i was a kid listening to it

Great classic cd from the 70s. Rush at the early best. Must hear "In the mood " & "Working Man"

Although I've Listened To Rush Before, This Is The First Album I've Bought. Classic Rush.

Will not be disappointed. This is a great time to get the best of Rush

Good sound quality and good selection of songs. Love this group

Love the endless supply of music at best buy, so does my son!

It's the starting Rush CD, so it shouldn't be held to the band's greatness. I enjoyed it, but it isn't my favorite.

I enjoyed listing to song list from start to finish

This album will take you back to the roots of this Canadian band!

The very first Rush album "Rush" is the launching pad for one of the world's greatest Rock & Roll/Progressive Rock bands ever. Rush fans must own this legendary album, new fans of Rush should make certain this is added to your collection now. This album without question is not Progressive Rock, it is vintage Hard Rock at it's old school best. Rush would soon follow with their extensive catalog of Progressive Rock albums that we all revere. The opening track "Finding My Way" shows how Geddy Lee had to be influenced in some way by Robert Plant. Geddy also shows shades of Robert Plant vocally on "Here Again". The most famous song from this album is "Working Man", which still gets Rock radio play to this day, has the Black Sabbath influenced riffs as its intro and throughout this song. It is so easy to see how Rush was influenced here by Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, this is the first Rush album and the year of it's release is 1974! It is safe to say that 34 years later, Rush created their own sound, both musically & vocally. It is just amazing to realize that this spectacular Hard Rock album was created 34 years ago! "What You're Doing" has the Black Sabbath riffs happening as well, yet Alex Lifeson had already begun painting his own legendary style of lead guitar on this song, the leads are powerful and dynamic. "In The Mood" has Geddy Lee giving a vocal performance that would become his persona for the rest of his career, this is in my opinion the one song on this album that sounds like Geddy Lee singing like, well, Geddy Lee. "In The Mood" is a real original vocal performance. "Before And After" has that early 1970's fog covered, Rock & Roll shades sound and atmosphere to it, it is a wonderful song to listen to, the intro being a mellow instrumental that eventually breaks into a Hard Rock jam of delight. Each time I listen to "Rush", just knowing this was the very beginning for such an incredibly important Rock band, knowing and hearing how incredible the music is, I get those chills up and down my arms. Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson give us a taste of how brilliant they are as musicians on "Rush", this was a sign of the remarkable career that was yet to come! Yes, the master percussionist/drummer Neil Peart is absent on this first Rush album, I do miss him and his lyrics here, due to the fact of knowing how he sounds and writes on the future Rush catalog of albums! John Rutsey, in his own right, plays like an accomplished Rock drummer on this album, his tendency and talent for accentuating the Hard Rock beat is an appreciated listen. Anyone who loves Rock & Roll will be doing them self a favor by purchasing the first "Rush" album!
