Moving Pictures saw the end of Rush's "classic era" with a fitting farewell, and ushered in the "synth era" of their career. Signals was the perfect opener to that era, with crisp and fresh synths, catchy riffs, and precision timing.
"Retrospective II: 1981-1987" is a compilation album by Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1997 (see 1997 in music). The album is essentially a collection of their best songs from the second decade of the band.

5 stars it’s the RUSH album… no ordinary songs! Guitar, bass and drums are incredible! As hard rock as progressive! The guitar sound is unique and it takes most of the place without giving you the feeling that other instruments are not present enough!!
