Power Windows for Cars - Auto Electric Window Regulator & Motor Kit - Easy Installation for Smooth Operation - Perfect for DIY Repairs & Upgrades

Power Windows, released right in the middle of the 80's, is now considered a classic by many Rush fans. However, it still continues to divide fans as some either can't connect with it, or they can't get over the sleek 80's production. To be honest it's pretty understandable that many dismiss this as one of their "plastic 80's albums." I too fell into that trap and have avoided listening to this album for many years. I've heard "The Big Money" years ago and always liked it but I suppose you could call Power Windows one of their more underrated or overlooked albums. Like Grace Under Pressure before it, the album sometimes gets a bad rap, but at the same time has a large following of fans who consider it one of their best. For me, Grace Under Pressure is a top 5 Rush album, I love it. Many people compare that album to this but in fact they really sound nothing alike. Grace Under Pressure has a colder and chillier sound to it. Some call it their "Cold War album." The only way I can describe Power Windows is that it has a brighter and warmer sound, the songs sound majestic and grand.The production is simply spectacular. Believe me, I was turned off by the idea of heavy synths at first but they pull it off brilliantly. And every band member is in top form here. Geddy sounds incredible, in terms of his vocal input, his bass playing, and of course the keyboards. Now the only drawbacks I can really think of is that I'm not too crazy about the chorus on Marathon. It's not bad but it's a little too upbeat and poppy for me, although pretty much everything else about the song is truly remarkable. Next thing I noticed is that Emotion Detector is my least favorite. It just seems a little by the numbers compared to the others. Aside from that I really believe this to be a fantastic little album. Mystic Rhythms is astonishingly good, it really needs to be heard to be believed. The mood it creates and the way everything comes together is incredible, a top 10 Rush song for me.The only regret I have is not discovering this album sooner, it's a very good Rush album. In my book it's a perfect album. Not perfect in that every song is amazing or anything like that, but perfect in that there isn't a bad song on this thing. The album is cohesive, and I love the sound and themes running throughout it. Power Windows is arguably their most ambitious album of the 80's. You can tell that even though they had all these toys and gadgets they still understood that songwriting came first and they never hid behind the technology. They understood how to make good sounds and have the synths add to the music instead of take away from it. Lastly, I think Rush had it right in the early to mid 80's when they made shorter, more concise albums consisting of only 7 or 8 songs. In the later 80's they started making longer standard albums, and in my humble opinion there's a few cuts on their two follow up albums that don't quite measure up. Power Windows truly stands tall as one of their best offerings post-Moving Pictures.
