RUSH: ALBUM-BY-ALBUM Book Available May 1 By Larry Petro, News Monkey Thursday, March 23, 2017 @ 1:03 PM
The likes of musicians Kirk Hammet (METALLICA), Paul Gilbert (MR. BIG), Mike Portnoy (DREAM THEATER, WINERY DOGS), RUSH historians and uber fans such as Eddy Maxwell (founder of RushCon) and Douglas Maher along with journalists and authors such as Jeff Wagner and Robert Telleria weigh in with Popoff and the views and opinions will enlighten all RUSH fans. From the self-titled debut, Rush, to the band’s most recent studio album Clockwork Angels, every album is covered in-depth. The conversations cover everything about every RUSH album – music, lyrics, performances, cover artwork, critical and fan reception and so much more.
The thoughtful text is generously illustrated with carefully curated live and offstage photography and selected RUSH memorabilia. In addition to a full discography, Popoff also includes loads of sidebars that provide complete track listings, details on album personnel, information on where and when the albums were recorded, and sidebar facts about the albums, their songs, and the band. Together, the conversations and visual presentation are a unique historical overview of this ground-breaking band.
At approximately 7,900 (with over 7,000 appearing in his books), Martin Popoff has unofficially written more record reviews than anybody in the history of music writing across all genres. Additionally, Martin has penned 57 books on hard rock, heavy metal, classic rock, and record collecting, including 2004’s Contents Under Pressure: 30 Years Of Rush At Home And Away, Rush: The Illustrated History, and Rush: Album By Album.
