Transcript: 'Rush Burns Intensely On Hold Your Fire' - Toronto Star, September 4, 1987

Rush's "Hold Your Fire" was released 28 years ago today!  It peaked at #13 on the Billboard chart, and was certified Gold two months later.

I've just transcribed a review of the album written by Greg Quill of the Toronto Star. 'Rush Burns Intensely On Hold Your Fire' appeared in the September 4, 1987 issue of Rush's hometown paper, and is a very heartfelt and glowing review, which states "Hold Your Fire is by far the most personal, most likeable album Rush has made...Rush's most completely realized work, a subtly gleaming gem." Hard to argue with that.
