While the tableau onto which the band expressed their creative talents is a radical shift from the hard-hitting rock of the mid 70s, the epic discovery mode of the late 70s, or even mining the fertile analog\/digital sonic mindscape of the early 80s, the resulting late 80s pop sheen remains easily identifiable as the product of a band perpetually in creative motion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hold Your Fire<\/strong> is also often listed as one of the band&#8217;s &#8220;weaker&#8221; albums by fans, held up as the &#8220;nadir&#8221; of Rush&#8217;s 80s synth-driven excesses. It certainly wasn&#8217;t a big commercial success; while it did go Gold in the US and spouted two hit US Mainstream Rock Tracks (&#8220;Force Ten&#8221; and &#8220;Time Stand Still&#8221;, both of which hit #3), it was the first Rush album since <em>Hemispheres<\/em>&nbsp;in 1978 to not break the &#8220;top ten&#8221; Billboard 200, as well as being the first Rush album not to go Platinum since 1975&#8217;s <em>Caress of<\/em> <em>Steel<\/em>. A commercial rebuke of sorts (although far from a disaster), but given an expanse of over two-and-a-half decades since the album&#8217;s release, one can take a long view appraisal of the album in light of Rush&#8217;s extensive catalog, creative dynamics, iconoclastic self-assurance, etc. etc.<\/p>\n<p>And yet I&#8217;m still not much of a fan.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll get the big two out-of-the-way, and state that I do enjoy the album&#8217;s Hit&nbsp;Singles. &#8220;Force Ten&#8221; has a sense of drive and urgency wrapped around a strong meditative core. I love the feel of the song, fluid and nimble in its infectious current. &#8220;Time Stand Still&#8221; probably ranks as one of the band&#8217;s best pure <em>pop&nbsp;<\/em>singles, shimmering and melodic and catchy without measure (the inclusion of Aimee Mann&#8217;s background vocals over the chorus underscores the song&#8217;s mass appeal beyond the core faithful).<\/p>\n<p>Both songs compromise the opening two album tracks. After that it&#8217;s a decisively hit-or-miss affair&#8230; or as it turns out, often a hit-and-miss affair. I find the whole not entirely bigger than the sum of its parts; often I&#8217;ll find the music pleasing whereas the lyrics seem trite, or vice versa. Sometimes the song is perfectly pleasant and agreeable but ultimately forgettable, and reacting to art with a resounding &#8220;meh&#8221; is probably more damning to the artist than a verdict of absolute revulsion.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s probably the biggest weakness with <strong>Hold Your Fire<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8212; while it does hit some high marks, overall it simply doesn&#8217;t generate much response from the listener. A song like &#8220;Open Secrets&#8221; is musically intriguing but not essential, whereas &#8220;Second Nature&#8221; has some fascinating lyrics that are unfortunately drenched with 80s musical banality. &#8220;Prime Mover&#8221; hits an agreeable spot of lyrics and music that provides for a notable song, as does the uptempo exploration of &#8220;Lock and Key&#8221;, but they never really muster pass the level of &#8220;fine&#8221; or &#8220;decent&#8221;. There&#8217;s nothing therein compelling me to return, except to look at the album&#8217;s track list and think to myself, &#8220;Oh yeah, that&#8217;s an OK tune&#8221; or &#8220;That one ain&#8217;t bad&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It feels like the songs could almost be great, if not for some deficiency. &#8220;Mission&#8221; has a rising, anthemic quality that I very much enjoy, but it&#8217;s entirely rooted in a flattened album aesthetic that feels less musically assertive than it should. A classic example of a piece requiring a little less think and a lot more feel (as an aside, a common critique leveled at Rush is that they are only a &#8220;Thinking Man&#8217;s Band, Devoid of Feeling or Emotion&#8221;, a critique I would categorically deny any day of the week and twice on Simchas Torah). This is rectified by &#8220;Turn The Page&#8221;, arguably the album&#8217;s best track, a superior tune that rises above its limitations (mostly the aforementioned flat album aesthetic) into an undeniably strong track. If you find yourself doing some cherry-picking throughout the band&#8217;s &#8220;less acclaimed&#8221; LPs, this is definitely one to extract from the pile.<\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t say much about &#8220;Tai Shan&#8221;, except that I appreciate its creative ambitions and diversity. Meanwhile, Geddy Lee is on record as to admitting the song is an &#8220;error&#8221;. I&#8217;ll just say that, while not a notably successful endeavor, it&#8217;s more interesting to me than, say, &#8220;Open Secrets&#8221;, &#8220;Second Nature&#8221;, or &#8220;Mission&#8221; in the sense that it&#8217;s at least <em>trying<\/em>&nbsp;to shake things up a bit. You can&#8217;t say the same for album closer &#8220;High Water&#8221;, a well-meaning but ultimately lifeless ending to an album that could easily (if a bit unfairly) be described as &#8220;well-meaning but ultimately lifeless&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hold Your Fire<\/strong>&nbsp;has its moments as a Rush album, but ultimately it breeds a little bit of muzzled praised and a fair host of indifference. Come for the singles and &#8220;Turn The Page&#8221;, while cherry-picking the rest at your leisure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The highest compliment you can give Rush&#8217;s 1987 release Hold Your Fire is that, despite the further descent into\/evolution towards 80s proggy-synth pop, the music still sounds quintessentially Lee\/Lifeson\/Peart.
