Feedback, the Rush EP released on Anthem in June 2004, finds the most cerebral power trio in Canada letting its hair down. Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart produced it themselves, and all eight tracks are covers of songs that shaped them back in the 1960s, a nod back to the blues-inspired hard rock where the band first started out.
The timing was no accident: 2004 marked 30 years since the debut album and since Peart came aboard to replace John Rutsey, and the EP set the table for the R30 anniversary tour. You can hear the fun in it. "Summertime Blues" gets a stomping, heavy-handed makeover with Lifeson's guitar roaring and Peart hammering like it's a garage band rehearsal with a much bigger budget. It was later remastered for The Studio Albums 1989–2007 box in 2013, and again in 2016 by Sean Magee at Abbey Road.
