Moving pictures
The following year Rush released Moving Pictures. That album reached Number Three and sold more than four million copies.
With the release of Signals in 1982, Rush’s sound underwent yet another change. Synthesizers were now at the forefront of the group’s music. In addition, the album included Rush’s only Top 40 hit single in the U.S., “New World Man.” The album also expanded the band’s use of ska, reggae and funk.
Through the rest of the Eighties, the band kept a somewhat lower profile, not spending as much time on the road. Even so, its albums continued to go gold or platinum.
With the 1989 album Presto, Rush once again began emphasizing guitar instead of keyboards. The transition from synthesizer to guitar continued with 1993’s Counterparts and 1996’s Test for Echo. After touring to support the latter album, Rush began what amounted to a five-year hiatus in 1997. The layoff was brought on by personal tragedies in Peart’s life.
The Return
The band returned to the studio and released a new album, Vapor Trails, in 2002. For the first time since the Seventies, Rush did not use a single synthesizer, organ or other keyboard on the album.

Rush was a Canadian progressive rock band originally formed in August 1968, in the Willowdale neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario. For the overwhelming majority of its existence, the band consisted of bassist, keyboardist, and lead vocalist Geddy Lee, guitarist Alex Lifeson, and drummer and lyricist Neil Peart. The band achieved this definitive form when Neil Peart replaced original drummer, John Rutsey, in July 1974.
The band released its eponymous debut album in March 1974. Since then, they have achieved 24 gold records and 14 platinum (3 multi-platinum) records. According to the RIAA, Rush's sales statistics also place them third behind the Beatles and the Rolling Stones for the most consecutive gold or platinum albums by a rock band.[1] As of 2022, Rush ranks 84th in US album sales with 26 million units sold.[2] Claims of a higher total of sales lack credible confirmation.
One of Rush's more recent releases is the Rush 50 box set, scheduled to be released on March 21, 2025.
