Presto is the 13th studio album by the Canadian rock band Rush . It was released in November 1989 on the record label Atlantic Records .
Presto seems too commercial and mainstream-oriented to many fans of Rush. Producer Rupert Hine, who has successfully designed albums for Chris de Burgh and Tina Turner , among others , prescribed very electronic arrangements for the band, which conceal the fact that the songs (as usual, the music was written by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson ) with a pleasing sound does not have the musical ideas and surprises for which Rush is otherwise known.
The title Superconductor is remarkable , the tempo (according to the name of the band and album) is getting faster and faster and which ends with a furious drum part. In Anagram , drummer Neil Peart (who wrote all the lyrics) wrote a funny, half witty ( "reasoning is partly insane, the image just an i-less game" ), half nonsense text ( "he and she are." in the house, but there's only me at home " ). With The Pass , the album features one of the band's favorite live songs.
