Peart's lyrics and drumming are unreal. Geddy with the great alternating synth and bass play. The time signature change is great. Not Lifeson's top solo but it works and his rhythm parts are fantastic, especially as he and the synths complement each other so well, each leaving space for the other.

And Subdivisions (musically, and as cultural commentary) an epic if ever there was one.
