Presto marked a fresh start for Rush in 1989, swapping banks of synthesizers for guitars and a brighter, more open sound.

Their thirteenth studio album was the first after leaving Mercury, and the trio used the moment to rethink their approach. Working with producer Rupert Hine, Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart pulled the keyboards back from the foreground, letting Lifeson's guitar and Lee's melodies carry the songs. Lee wanted it to be more of a singer's album, and it shows.

Opener "Show Don't Tell" is a tight, funky workout with a riff that refuses to sit still, and "The Pass" is one of Peart's most compassionate lyrics, a song about teenage despair that reaches out instead of preaching. The title track brings an airy, almost acoustic shimmer, while "Superconductor" takes a sly swipe at manufactured pop stardom.

Hine's crisp production keeps every part clear and uncluttered, so the interplay between bass, guitar and drums snaps into focus. Peart's lyrics, full of wit and empathy, sit right up front.

Often overlooked between the synth-heavy eighties records and the heavier albums of the nineties, Presto rewards a fresh listen. It is a key turning point in the band's long story, and a reminder of how much warmth sat inside their precision.
