Test for Echo
From Free net encyclopedia
Template:Album infobox Test for Echo is the sixteenth studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1996 (see 1996 in music).
The song "Driven" would become a common bass showcase for bassist Geddy Lee during future tours. Also, "Resist" would eventually grow into an unplugged "folk" song on the Vapor Trails and R30 tours. "Limbo" would become the band's most recent instrumental; it also marked the third Rush album in a row to feature one. By this point, Rush's song lengths were decreasing slightly, but still remained at 4-5 minutes on average. The album also marks the final Rush work prior to the events in Neil Peart's life that halted the band for half a decade.
