Signals is the ninth
studio album by
Canadian rock band
Rush, released in 1982. It was the follow-up to the successful
Moving Pictures. Stylistically, the album was a continuation of Rush's foray into the technology-oriented 1980s through increased use of electronic instrumentation such as
synthesizers,
sequencers, and
electric violin. Other noticeable changes were decreased average song length and lyrical compression. The album reached #10 on the Billboard album charts and was certified platinum (one million copies sold) by the
RIAA in November 1982.
