Episode 24 is here! We finish up 1996’s Test For Echo by the band Rush. What will the final verdict be? Steve’s Back!
Test for Echo is the sixteenth studio album by the Canadian rock band Rush, released on 10 September 1996 on Anthem Records. It is the final Rush work before the death of Neil Peart’s daughter and wife that put the band on hiatus until the recording of Vapor Trails in January 2001. The title track reached No. 1 on the mainstream rock chart. The song “Driven” became a bass showcase for Geddy Lee during live performances, while “Resist” was rearranged as an acoustic song on the Vapor Trails and R30 tours. The band did not perform any tracks from the album on subsequent tours.
