Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0821797077262 Format: Original recording remastered, Collector's Edition Label: Mobile Fidelity Koch Manufacturer: Mobile Fidelity Koch MPN: 772 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Mobile Fidelity Koch Release Date: January 08, 2008 Studio: Mobile Fidelity Koch Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: One of Rush's finest moments, second only to Moving Pictures. This album includes two classic songs, "The Spirit of Radio" (which has one of the most recognizable guitar riffs in all of rock) and "Freewill." There's also the epic-feeling "Jacob's Ladder," as well as "Entre Nous," a sort of intellectual love song (if such a thing can be said to exist). The introspective "Different Strings" and the anthemic "Natural Science" (which clocks in at over nine minutes) close the album. Though there are only six songs on Permanent Waves, it's enough; the material is rich enough that more of it would be like overdosing on chocolate. -- Genevieve Williams Average Rating:
 Rating:  - One of Rush's best.After spending several years conjuring up alien landscapes, doomed space travelers, and Greek gods, Rush got back to earth on this one. Nowhere is this more evident than on on "Spirit of the Radio," which was inspired by listening to rock radio in Toronto. There are tons of good riffs here (even a short reggae-inspired break) and in 1977 or 1978 Rush might have used them to create an extended composition about the battle between an old Norse god and a dwarf. In 1980 they used them to construct a ... Read More Rating:  - RUSH Return To This Quality Of Sound On Future Albums????The Clear Crisp Sound Of "PERMANENT WAVES" Album.... Terrific Album For The Crisp Clear Quality RUSH Album..... Will This Sound Ever Come Back On Future RUSH Albums????? ENJOY THIS ONE FOLKS!!!!!!!! ONE OF THEIR BEST........ Rating: - I've heard every single Rush album- This one is the bestI'm only 20 years old, but I've been a die-hard Rush fan ever since I was first exposed to them some 5-6 years ago. That being said, Permanent Waves is my favorite Rush album of them all. It has tracks that are great for the casual listener, some that are great for the blossoming Rush fan looking to get their first album, some that are great for the prog-rock enthusiast, and ALL that are great additions to anyone's music collection. Any listener of Classic Rock radio will instantly recognize ... Read More Rating: - Rush at Their Artistic PinnaclePermanent waves is Like an Old Friend. You can listen to it over and over and the relationship is always the same, you can fall back on it at any point even if it has been years and everything is right with the world! Permanent Waves was released in 1980 and followed up the last of the true long suite progressive rock albums Hemispheres while also predating 1981's moving Pictures by one year. Hemispheres is also a modern rock classic but is quite different from Permanent Waves in a number of ... Read More Rating: - MoFi/Rush a perfect comboPreordered this CD the minute I possibly could, and was not disappointed! I have all the other MoFi Rush CD's as well and another awesome product. Geddy's bass sounds more lifelike and that Ricky sound really comes through. Alex's guitars sound more spacious and up front, Neil's percussion is cleaner with a wider soundstage. Geddy's vocals also sound like he's in the room with you, the most lifelike I have ever heard. I would love it if MoFi also remastered Caress of Steel and A Farewell to Kings. |
