''Test for Echo'' is the sixteenth studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1996. It marks the final Rush work prior to the tragic events in Neil Peart's life that put the band on hiatus for several years. He recorded a majority of his drum tracks for the album using traditional grip, after receiving drum lessons from jazz instructor Freddie Gruber. The cover displays an inukshuk, native to the band's home country of Canada. Created by the Inuit, an inuksuk is a stone figure in the shape of a human used to mark a food cache, hunting ground or a place where someone lost their life. The title track reached #1 on the mainstream rock chart. "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. Since then, the band has not performed any tracks from the album in concert. It was remastered and reissued twice: in 2004 as a continuation of "The Rush Remasters" set and in 2013 as a part of the box set ''The Studio Albums 1989-2007''. ==Critical reception== 〕 |rev2 = ''Entertainment Weekly'' |rev2score = (B) |rev3 = ''Mojo'' |rev3score = 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rush - Test for Echo CD Album )〕 |rev4 = ''Rolling Stone'' |rev4score = (favorable) |rev5 = ''The Rolling Stone Album Guide'' |rev5score = 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rush: Album Guide )〕 }} Allmusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine gave ''Test for Echo'' 3 out of 5 stars, saying that Rush has "rarely played better in the past ten years than they have on ''Test for Echo''."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Test for Echo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
