Pop rock[edit]

I want to list the genres on this album as pop rock and new wave. Sources include Stereogum's article on worst to best Rush albums, Prog Sphere's article of the same topic, AllMusic's review of the album, and "Rush: The Illustrated History" by Martin Popoff.

Other possible genres included are progressive rock and art rock (e.g. bridge section on Mission). SomePersona (talk) 22:15, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Stereogum source[1] says: "So begins Rush's Great Pop Experiment...", "Hold Your Fire is...right smack in the middle of the road. It was happening all over progressive rock..." I get "pop" and "progressive rock".

I don't see any mention of genre in the AllMusic piece[2], outside of the unreliable side box.

I don't see the other two sources at the moment. Links? - SummerPhD^v2.0 00:22, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, more sources tell me that this album is pop and progressive rock, so I am just going to list those two genres. SomePersona (talk) 16:17, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

May I list the genres as pop and progressive rock? SomePersona (talk) 18:30, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

IMO, Stereogum says it is pop and progressive rock. - SummerPhD^v2.0 23:25, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
