[edit] Background and production
During the tour supporting their previous album,Signals,the members of Rush began by meeting with producer Terry Brown in Miami,calmly informing him that they wanted to move on.They'd become increasingly unhappy with the sound of the Signals album,and they were also keen to see how they would work with someone other than Brown.Despite their decision to part ways with Brown,Rush decided to include a small tribute to him in the liner notes of Grace Under Pressure,which states,"et toujours notre bon vielle ami — Broon." The quote translates to "and always our good old friend." Following Brown's amicable departure,Rush approached producer Steve Lillywhite to record the album.However,Lillywhite withdrew at the last minute,much to the chagrin of the band members.Rush eventually produced the album themselves,with assistance from Peter Henderson,who had previously worked with Supertramp,Frank Zappa and King Crimson.
Rush decided to record the album in the band members' native Canada at Le Studio,deciding on the title "Grace Under Pressure" for the album.The various current events found in the Toronto Globe & Mail newspaper inspired many of the lyrics on the album,particularly those of "Distant Early Warning," "Red Lenses" and "Between the Wheels." After a few months,the mixing stage had begun,and Neil Peart discussed the details of the cover art with Hugh Syme.The band spent up to 14 hours per day in the studio,perfecting the album's dystopian sound.
The album's theme is one of a dystopian future and focuses on the struggles faced by humans in a nightmarish future.One track,"Red Sector A," is notable for its allusions to The Holocaust,inspired by Geddy Lee's memories of his mother's stories about the liberation of Bergen-Belsen,where she was held prisoner.While the album's opening track "Distant Early Warning" has been interpreted as dealing with the pressure involving the aftermath of nuclear holocaust,Peart demurred in a contemporaneous interview,saying,"It's about a lot of stuff." [1] "The Enemy Within" is part one of the "Fear" series of songs that started with part three,"Witch Hunt," on Rush's 1981 album Moving Pictures.The video for "The Enemy Within" was the very first video broadcast on Canada's Much Music station in 1984.
Musically,the album marks yet another departure from Rush's previous album.While maintaining the synth-heavy sound of Signals,Rush also began to experiment more extensively with different musical forms.The album is notable for the radical new influences it displayed,such as ska.This was the first album to be released by Rush to include no program music.
