Test for Echo by Rush

Test for Echo, Rush's sixteenth studio album, came out on Anthem on September 10, 1996, the last one the trio made with co-producer Peter Collins. The synth-heavy stretch of the 1980s was well behind them, and this is Rush as a lean, guitar-driven power trio: Alex Lifeson's riffs up front, Geddy Lee's bass growling underneath and Neil Peart's drums as busy and exacting as ever.
The title track went to number one on the mainstream rock chart, and "Driven" became Lee's bass showcase on stage. Then everything stopped. After the 1996 and 1997 world tour, the deaths of Peart's daughter and wife sent the band into a five-year hiatus, and they didn't record again until 2001.
