''Test For Echo'' is the sixteenth studio album by Music/{{Rush}}, released in 1997. The last album produced by Peter Collins, it marked the return of a more complex and progressive sound for the band. It was also the last album that would be released by the band for 6 years, due to the personal tragedies in Neil Peart's life.

Fan and critc reception was mixed to negative, with the consensus being that while there were a few good songs, the album for the most part sounded very uninspired and that Rush was "on autopilot" for this album. Along with ''Music/{{Caress Of Steel}}'', it is regarded to be the weakest installment in Rush's discography.

** This was done in order to give Neil a break after his drum solos, as the song was usually scheduled to be performed not long after (if not immediately after).
