It currently remains the last Rush album to receive a platinum certification (sell at least one million copies) in the United States and it charted #3 on the Billboard charts, the highest position since 1981's ''Music/{{Moving Pictures}}'', which also charted #3. Fan and critc reception was pretty positive, although once again it was criticized its thin sound on the production end.

* EarWorm: Roll The Bones. It's basically a rite of passage among Rush fans to recite the rap from memory. ''Jack, relax, get busy with the facts...''

* PissTakeRap: "Roll the Bones". They wanted Creator/JohnCleese to record it, but he was unavailable. Geddy did it instead, and they just pitched his voice down to being nearly unrecognizable (drastically raising the pitch in audio editing software reveals that he pretty much just talked normally and called it rapping).
