Released in 1987, Hold Your Fire is the twelfth studio album, and it had been highly criticized for the overuse of synthesizers and pop-sounding music. “Freewill” was initially overshadowed by the album’s biggest hit, “Spirit of Radio.” The song showcases Rush’s well-balanced collective offering by all three members. The song clearly showcases Lifeson’s masterful guitar skills along with the rapid-fire drumbeats of Peart. This radio favorite hit was the second song on the Permanent Waves album. As the album’s first track, “Subdivisions” reached mainstream rock fans and charted at No. With Peart writing all the lyrics on the album except for one song (“Chemistry”), the trio consisting of Lee, Peart and Lifeson produced a platinum-selling album that reached top ten on Billboard’s Top 200.
