'''''Presto''''' is the thirteenth studio album by Canadian rock band [[Rush (band)|Rush]]. It was released on November 17, 1989 by [[Anthem Records]]<ref name="Irv"/> and was the band's first album released internationally by [[Atlantic Records]], following the group's departure from [[Mercury Records|Mercury]]. After the ''[[Hold Your Fire]]'' (1987) tour ended in 1988, the group members reconvened in December to decide their next step and agreed to take six months off before starting on a new album. ''Presto'' marked another change in Rush's sound, with a reduction in synthesizers and a return towards more guitar-driven arrangements.
''Presto'' reached No. 7 in Canada and No. 16 in the United States. "[[Show Don't Tell (song)|Show Don't Tell]]," "[[The Pass (song)|The Pass]]" and "Superconductor" were released as singles from ''Presto''; the former charted at No. 1 on the U.S. [[Mainstream Rock (chart)|Album Rock Tracks]] chart.<ref name="Billboard">{{cite magazine |url=https://www.billboard.com/artist/rush/ |title=Rush - Chart History |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |access-date=December 16, 2023}}</ref> Rush supported the album with the [[Presto tour|Presto Tour]] from February to June 1990. ''Presto'' reached gold certification by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]] for selling 500,000 copies.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.411mania.com/music/columns/106532 |title=Music - What The Hell Happened To... 06.08.09: Rush - Presto |publisher=411mania.com |date=June 27, 1990 |access-date=August 20, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201143805/http://www.411mania.com/music/columns/106532 |archive-date=February 1, 2014}}</ref> The album was remastered in 2004 and 2013, the latter as part of the 2013 box set ''[[The Studio Albums 1989–2007]]''. In 2015, it was reissued after being remastered by Sean Magee at [[Abbey Road Studios]], following a direct approach by Rush to remaster their entire back catalogue.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.abbeyroad.com/engineer/sean-magee |title=Abbey Road - Engineers - Sean Magee |website=[[Abbey Road Studios]] |access-date=December 14, 2020 |archive-date=December 14, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201214135425/https://www.abbeyroad.com/engineer/sean-magee |url-status=live}}</ref>
==Background== In May 1988, Rush wrapped up touring the band's previous album, ''[[Hold Your Fire]]'' (1987),<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.rush.com/tour/hold-your-fire/ |title=Hold Your Fire Tour |access-date=January 13, 2019 |archive-date=January 14, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190114044610/https://www.rush.com/tour/hold-your-fire/ |url-status=live}}</ref> which was followed by the band's third live release, ''[[A Show of Hands]]'', in early 1989.<ref name=K89/> The group then decided not to renew contracts with international distributor [[Mercury Records]]; Lifeson said they departed because the relationship had become stale by this point.<ref name=K89/> Peart later wrote that with the band now "free of deadlines and obligations" for the first time in 15 years, they chose to take advantage by taking a six-month break.<ref name=PTB90>{{cite web |url=http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/presto.html#tourbook |title=Scissors, Paper, Stone by Neil Peart |first=Neil |last=Peart |date=1990 |publisher=Anthem Records |access-date=January 13, 2019 |archive-date=January 14, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190114153311/http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/presto.html#tourbook |url-status=live}}</ref> In December 1988, the group gathered at Peart's house to discuss the next step and agreed to start a new studio album after the break.<ref name=PTB90/><ref name=ME90>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/transcripts/19900200musicexpress.htm |title=Something Up Their Sleeves |first=Keith |last=Sharp |magazine=[[Music Express (magazine)|Music Express]] |volume=14 |issue=144 |date=February 1990 |access-date=January 14, 2019 |archive-date=January 26, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200126231849/http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/transcripts/19900200musicexpress.htm |url-status=live}}</ref>
==Writing== Work on ''Presto'' began with Rush renting a studio in the country to write and rehearse new material. They adopted their usual method of Lifeson and Lee working on music while Peart worked alone on lyrics. Peart wrote: "At the end of the day I might wander into the studio, ice cubes clinking, and listen to what they'd been up to, and if I'd been lucky, show them something new."<ref name=PTB90/> Rush worked at the studio during the week and returned home on weekends.<ref name=PTB90/>
''Presto'' marks the beginning of Rush's return to a more guitar-driven sound from what's known to many as the band's "synthesizer period" of the previous four releases. When Lifeson and Lee discussed what musical direction to take, they agreed that the core of the band's sound, emotion, and energy had come from the guitar, something that they wanted to return to for ''Presto''.<ref name=PTB90/> This resulted in a much more satisfying album for Lifeson.<ref name=K89/> Lifeson had felt constricted in his guitar playing since synthesizers began playing a more dominant role in the songwriting and performance on ''Signals'' (1982), which had continued through the 1980s.<ref name=S89/> Lee explained that Rush wanted ''Presto'' to be "more of a singer's album, and I think you'll notice that the arrangements musically support the vocal. [...] Neil's lyrics to me are a lot more heartfelt. [...] This album was a real reaction against technology in a sense. I was getting sick and tired of working with computers and synthesizers. [...] We made a pact to stay away from strings, pianos, and organs—to stay away from digital technology. In the end, we couldn't resist using them for colour."<ref name="Krewen">{{cite magazine |last=Krewen |first=Nick |url=http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/transcripts/19900400cm.htm |title=Rush: Presto Change-o |magazine=[[Canadian Musician]] |issue=2 |date=April 1990 |volume=12 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201153943/http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/transcripts/19900400cm.htm |archive-date=February 1, 2014 |access-date=May 12, 2014}}</ref>
In a contrast to previous albums ''[[Grace Under Pressure (Rush album)|Grace Under Pressure]]'' (1984), ''[[Power Windows (album)|Power Windows]]'' (1985) and ''Hold Your Fire'', the album does not contain an overall running lyrical theme, or what Peart described as "heavy" lyrical messages, instead adopting a more loose approach with each track making its own statement.<ref name=ME90/> Peart used the word "response" to describe the lyrical content as a whole. "The idea that you don't go through life just looking at things. It doesn't matter if you've been all around the world - you may have seen it, but if you haven't felt it, you haven't been there."<ref name=CP90/> Peart added: "There are many threads and a strong motif of looking at life today and trying to act inside it."<ref name="Krewen"/>
The album's title was an idea that Rush had considered using for ''A Show of Hands'', but when Peart started writing a song entitled "Presto", it was then used as the title of the album.<ref name=RL89/><ref name=ME90/>
==Recording== After several songs had been worked out, the band felt it was the right time to present what they had to a co-producer. However, their initial choice, [[Peter Collins (record producer)|Peter Collins]], who'd worked on ''Power Windows'' and ''Hold Your Fire'', reluctantly declined the offer to work on ''Presto'', as he wished to produce other bands. Though Rush felt confident enough to undertake production duties themselves, they still wanted someone they could trust and to provide an objective point of view to their ideas.<ref name=PTB90/> Among the various candidates was English producer, songwriter, and keyboardist [[Rupert Hine]], whose experience with a variety of artists attracted the group. Peart recalled the time when they presented their ideas to Hine: "We were a little bemused [...] at the end of some of them he actually seemed to be laughing! We looked at each other, eyebrows raised as if to say: 'He thinks our songs are funny?' But evidently it was a laugh of pleasure; he stayed 'til the end".<ref name=PTB90/> At Hine's suggestion, the group brought in Stephen W. Tayler as the recording and mixing engineer. The sessions with Rush and Hine together were productive; initially, 10 days were assigned for pre-production work with one track for each day, but it was complete after just one-and-a-half days.<ref name=K89/>

"Scars" features a complex drum pattern in which both acoustic and electronic drums are utilized. The pattern was derived from a tribal rhythm Peart heard while on a bicycle tour of Africa (later chronicled in his first book, ''[[The Masked Rider: Cycling in West Africa]]''). He went on to incorporate this pattern into [[List of Rush instrumentals|his live drum solos]]. The song also features the use of a [[music sequencer|sequencer]] in place of, and often mistaken for, a bass guitar.
Lifeson said the title track is about "feeling more active in your heart than in your head, not having the answers to problems."<ref name="S89" />
=== Side two === "Superconductor" deals with the superficiality of mainstream music. That topic also appears in other songs such as "Grand Designs" from the ''Power Windows'' album.
In "Anagram (for Mongo)", every line contains one or more words that are formed by using letters in another word from that same line (e.g. "There is no '''safe seat''' at the '''feast'''"), and certain lines contain [[anagram|anagrammed]] words (e.g. "'''Miracles''' will have their '''claimers'''"). Its title was inspired by the character Mongo from the 1974 film ''[[Blazing Saddles]]''.<ref name=RL89/> Lifeson spoke about the lyrics: "It doesn't mean anything, it was just a fun thing, but there are some great twists in there."<ref name=S89>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/transcripts/19891209sounds.htm |title=The Magic Circle |first=Paul |last=Elliot |magazine=[[Sounds (magazine)|Sounds]] |date=December 9, 1989 |access-date=January 14, 2019 |archive-date=January 15, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190115023039/http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/transcripts/19891209sounds.htm |url-status=live}}</ref>
"Hand over Fist" was originally an instrumental that Rush had intended to include on ''Presto'', but Peart continued to submit lyrical ideas to Lifeson and Lee; one in particular fit the music well enough and the plan for an instrumental was scrapped.<ref name=RL89/> In the album's tour book, Peart used the symbolism that the hand game "[[rock, paper, scissors]]" represents, which was made into a nursery rhyme and used as a lyrical chant in "Hand over Fist."<ref name=RL89/>
==Artwork and promotion== The album's sleeve was designed by Rush's longtime collaborator [[Hugh Syme]]: a black-and-white design depicting a levitating magician's hat on a hill with a rabbit emerging from it. The field in the foreground has many rabbits.<ref name=K89/> Rush had devised its concept and presented it to Syme, who then produced several ideas depicting what they suggested. Lifeson recalled the moment when they saw the design they went with: "We all started laughing hysterically, 'This is great, it's perfect!'"<ref name=K89>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/transcripts/19891125kerrang.htm |title=The Meaning of Lifeson |first=Phil |last=Wilding |magazine=[[Kerrang!]] |issue=266 |date=November 25, 1989 |access-date=January 13, 2019 |archive-date=January 14, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190114044411/http://www.2112.net/powerwindows/transcripts/19891125kerrang.htm |url-status=live}}</ref>

''Presto'' received mixed reviews from critics. Gregory Heaney of [[AllMusic]] described the album as "workmanlike" and removed from the creativity of their earlier works. However, he asserted that the songs weren't terrible, just that something was not quite clicking, perhaps due to the length of time it had been since the band wrote more-traditional, guitar-based songs.<ref name="AllMusic">{{cite web |last=Heaney |first=Gregory |url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/presto-mw0000654443 |title=Presto - Rush |website=[[AllMusic]] |access-date=November 10, 2012 |archive-date=June 10, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120610072302/http://www.allmusic.com/album/presto-mw0000654443 |url-status=live }}</ref> However, before Heaney's review was posted, the site had listed a favorable 4.5 star (out of a possible 5) review of the album by Mackenzie Wilson, who described the album as one that "intelligently leads Rush into the '90s without musical bleakness".<ref name="AllMusic (Original Review)"/>
