An impressive start to the career of one of the most talented and forward-thinking bands ever. It sounds ridiculously simple compared to their later releases, but who cares? It's still a good little rocker.

Rush is an amazing band,very good musicians,very mysterious though,like that.

Weak songs except "Working Man"

Although Neil is a genius and every Rush album is a masterpiece, none of their following albums matches the excitement, fun, and passion that is displayed on their debut. This album is by far the greatest debut record by any band.

Oh, how I would enjoy loving this album just like the great ones, but it's really not that mature or good yet. 7/8 songs are more or less just average and forgettable, the one killer being Working Man and even that has pretty basic lyrics. John Rutsey was a great drummer, but super charismatic Neil added so much more spirit and passion to the band's image and output.

Rush was super progressive before trey became when you can put real prefix to progressive rock , actualy how simple and complex same time this album is, simple jam song writing, sortha old Rush is awesome.

A little underrated on MS, this is a bit of a hidden gem: most fans focus - quite rightly - on the albums that proceed this cheeky little bad boy but this is right up there with the best of hard rock from the 1970s. Even though it's drenched in Led Zep worship, it stands on its own merit and contains some of the very best Rush songs like "Working Man", "In The Mood" and "What You're Doing'..

If you, like, dig your 1970's rock music, then my dude, you can do way, way worse than checking out this wicked slice of rock n' roll history, right here.

Not bad by any means but considering of what's to come already at the follow up album I somehow choose often to skip this one when listening to Rush. There's no bad songs here but also nothing I would feature in a Rush compilation.

Working Man is a top 5 Rush song, but I echo the previous comments in saying that most of this album is pretty meh.
