Rush's first major commercial success and a signature record is based around the eponymous side-long rock opera. Influenced by the writings of Ayn Rand, the story takes place during a galaxy-wide war in the year 2112. Rush spent about six months writing this album and then took another month to record it. This deluxe edition includes three album tracks recorded live.

Hemispheres is the sixth studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, originally released in October 1978 by Anthem Records. As with the band's previous studio album, Hemispheres was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Monmouthshire and Trident Studios in London with longtime engineer and arranger, Terry Brown. Rush continued its progressive rock sound with the side-long "Cygnus X-1 Book II: Hemispheres" and the nine-minute instrumental "La Villa Strangiato". Hemispheres received acclaim from music critics. It reached number 14 in Canada and the UK, and number 41 in the United States. In 1993, the album was certified platinum by the RIAA for selling one million copies.

Presto is the thirteenth studio album by Canadian rock band Rush. It was originally released November 21, 1989 by Anthem Records and was the band's first album released internationally by Atlantic Records following the group's departure from Mercury. Presto reached gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America for selling 500,000 copies.

"Roll The Bones" is Rush’s 1991 Platinum classic. It became the band’s first Billboard Top Five album since "Moving Pictures". The outing is one of the band’s most rock-oriented efforts and it produced the four Top Twenty singles “Bravado”, “Dreamline”, “Ghost Of A Chance” and “Roll The Bones”. The album remains one of the band’s best and one of rock’s greatest albums of the ‘90s.

"Exit…Stage Left" is a live album by Canadian band Rush, originally released in 1981. On stage, Rush get to show off their skills in one of the best live albums! The album was voted 9th best live album of all time in a poll by Classic Rock Magazine in 2004.

Another favorite of true Rush fans, this sixth studio album, released in 1978, once more explored fantasy and science fiction themes in Neil Peart’s lyrics. The final track, the ambitious nine-and-a-half minute "La Villa Strangiato", was the band’s first instrumental. The album peaked at #47 on the Billboard charts, and was the group’s fourth consecutive gold album in the U.S., featuring the singles "The Trees" and "Circumstances".

"Snakes & Arrows" is the nineteenth studio album, and the eighteenth of all-original material, by the Canadian rock band Rush. The album was recorded in five weeks between November and December 2006 at Allaire Studios in New York’s Catskill Mountains. It was their first studio outing since 2004's Feedback, and their last studio album officially with Atlantic Records. The album was named as one of Classic Rock‘s 10 essential progressive rock albums of the decade.

"Moving Pictures" has become Rush's most successful studio album in the US with sales exceeding four million copies and a peak chart position of number three in Billboard. The band's complex songwriting and musical virtuosity reach new heights with this material despite the preponderance of shorter, more radio-friendly songs. Recorded and mixed at Le Studio north of Montréal, "Moving Pictures" includes the Rush signature tracks Tom Sawyer, Limelight, Red Barchetta and the band’s highly praised instrumental, YYZ, which earned Rush its first Grammy nomination. Rolling Stone named this album the third greatest progressive rock album of all time in a 2015 feature.

Recorded during two sold-out hometown shows at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto in June 2015, "R40 Live" is a career-spanning live retrospective from Rush, celebrating the band's over 40 years together. The centrepiece is the remarkable setlist, as Rush works backwards from the most recent to the oldest songs in the band's catalogue.

"Permanent Waves" is the band’s seventh studio album, released on New Year’s Day, 1980. It was recorded at Le Studio, Morin Heights, Quebec, and mixed at Trident Studios in London. The tracks were laid down just shy of four weeks, in part attributed to the idyllic working conditions of Morin Heights. The album marks a transition from long, conceptual pieces, into a more accessible, radio-friendly style.

This 1977 release, the band's fifth studio album, was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales and mixed in London's Advision Studios. It became the band's first U.S. gold-selling album within two months of release, and went platinum. The singles included "Closer to the Heart" and "Cinderella Man" while the album peaked at #33 on the Billboard 200 and #22 on the U.K. album charts.

"Clockwork Angels" has been a long time coming. Rush foreshadowed it in 2010 by releasing "BU2B", and "Caravan" to radio. The next single, "Headlong Flight," didn't appear until 2012. Co-produced with Nick Raskulinecz (who also worked on 2007's Snakes & Arrows), Clockwork Angels is a return to the concept album by the band that perfected it on 2112 in 1976. It centers on a loose narrative about a young man following his dreams. He struggles with inner and outer forces of order and chaos; he encounters an expansive world where colors, images, territories, and characters are embodied by pirates, strange carnivals, rabble-rousing anarchists, and lost cities.
