I actually think one of the great charms of Rush is that their music and lyrics are thoughtful without being pretentious. I always got the feeling they respect their fans and give them what they want in a thinking AC/DC kind of way. I know that AC/DC has stuck with a certain sound and Rush developed and went through changes but like AC/DC Rush stays in their lane. They stick to what they're good at it. You go to Rush concert; you get a Rush concert.
Is Peart overrated? By some. But they all are excellent technicians and he's a damn good drummer. Certainly the perfect drummer for Rush.
