Rush-Counterparts (1993)

At the beginning of the nineties alternative rock and grunge were the styles most demanded by the general public and it is this fact that moved many established bands to derive their sound or to be partly influenced by that trend.
One of them like Rush would briefly borrow some of these ideas in his album "Counterparts" published in 1993, which would mean a return to his more rocker origins.
They toughen up their sound and put Alex Lifeson's guitars back in the limelight and give less importance to synthesizers.
A bunch of powerful songs like "Stick It Out", "Cut To The Chase" or "Cold", constitute a clear reference to that change.
However, the band continued to maintain its essence as "Nobody's Hero", mixing acoustic sounds with electric sounds in a fantastic way as can also be heard in "Everyday Glory".
With this album Rush recovered the credibility they had in the 70s, without a doubt that of their greatest glory.
