"This 2015 remaster of the original gleams brilliantly. That a band could write songs like Entre Nous and Jacob's Ladder in the same sessions at a cottage in the wilds of Ontario, on a pair of acoustic guitars, tells you something about where they were at musically - at the height of their powers ... Terry Brown has reworked an entire disc of unreleased live tracks from the Permanent Waves tour and that is where the real gold lies ... Manchester, London and Missouri provide a truly thrilling show with a daunting sounding Cygnus XI, a breathless Beneath, Between & Behind and a version of Xanadu so good that you can almost hear people in the stalls combusting at the sound of a band reaching the higher plane and about to go higher still".

"Most aficionados rank Permanent Waves in their top five Rush albums ever, with many bumping it up to the number one or number two spot. While placements like that are always debatable-especially with a band whose adaptability, integrity, and overall quality were as steady and commanding as this-it's hard to find anything lacking with this seventh studio effort. Its ability to strike a nearly perfect balance between mainstream invitingness and exclusory complexity is even more apparent and remarkable 40 years on. Permanent Waves' merits and legacy endure and swell through the myriad subsequent acts which embody its spirit".
