Grace Under Pressure (Rush album)
''Grace Under Pressure'' is the tenth studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1984. It reached #10 on the ''Billboard'' 200 chart and went platinum in the US upon its initial release. On the back cover is a band portrait by the photographer Yousuf Karsh. The original vinyl pressing also featured a photo depicting an egg being held in a C-clamp. The cover art was painted by Hugh Syme, a collaborator with Rush since he performed as a guest musician on the song "Tears" from the album ''2112''. Alex Lifeson once described ''Grace Under Pressure'' as the "most satisfying of all our records."〔http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/transcripts/19840800guitarplayer.htm〕
==Background and production==
During the tour supporting their previous album, ''Signals'', the members of Rush began by meeting with producer Terry Brown in Miami, informing him that they wanted to move on. Unhappy with the sound of the ''Signals'' album, they were also keen to see how they would work with someone other than Brown. Despite their decision to part ways Rush included a small tribute to him in the liner notes of ''Grace Under Pressure'', which states, "et toujours notre bon vieil ami — Broon." The quote translates to "and always our good old friend". Following Brown's amicable departure, Rush approached producer Steve Lillywhite to record the album but he reneged to work with the Simple Minds. Rush eventually produced the album themselves, with assistance from Peter Henderson, who had previously worked with Supertramp, Split Enz, Wings, Frank Zappa and King Crimson.
The album was recorded at Le Studio. The various current events found in the newspaper ''The Globe & Mail'' inspired many of the lyrics on the album, particularly those of "Distant Early Warning", "Red Lenses" and "Between the Wheels". After a few months, the mixing stage had begun, and Neil Peart discussed the details of the cover art with Hugh Syme. The band spent up to fourteen hours per day in the studio, perfecting the album's dystopian sound.
A music video produced for "The Enemy Within" would be the first played by the Canadian music television channel MuchMusic, which launched in August 1984.
