I could never get into Rush based off of their 70's prog rock sound (although I'm slowly softening up to it). I never knew they did this kind of synth-rock sound and upon hearing it I just loved it, like pure magic. Had I heard this album 20 years ago I would have loved it then too. Better late than never, I guess.

Signals is what got me into the band at first, and I still struggle with the pre-Permanent Waves era Rush.

There’s a flash in the sound between the synths and the crash cymbals that sound so perfect on top of the heavier guitars and drums

I'd like to thank Ninja Sex Party for bringing me to Rush because of their fantastic covers of Subdivisions, Madrigal and Limelight.

I don't understand the hatred many Rush fans have for the "Synth period." To each his own, of course, but to my ears some of the "Synth period" stuff is among their best work. Signals is a classic album irrespective of "periods" or "eras," though -- just eight good songs, a few of which are phenomenal. Certainly "The Analog Kid" is among my favorite Rush tracks. Love the riff and vocal melody and then Lifeson's solo mid-song fucking kills.

There are no "Best album from the synth period" because the synth period SUCKS! You like it or not, this is my opinion and I don't care what you think about it.

When this came out after MP I hated it so much I smashed the LP against my wall. But it is now my favourite Rush album and has my favourite Rush song (Subdivisions). Straighforward sounding on the surface but with hidden depths. One of the only albums I own that I can still listen to again and again and again and not get bored at all.

I enjoy synth when it's not overbearing. Rush uses it to perfection. All the instruments complement each other very well, synth included. It adds another great layer to every track.

How could you follow Moving Pictures? Old farts tend to dis this album, but it's a classic. Rush moved on, why can't you? LOL

great album. not my favourite rush album, but I understand everybody who calls it his fav. it's not really progressive, not even really hard rocking, but it flows straightly and leaves a special feeling when you get hooked on it
