Hold Your Fire is the twelfth studio album by Rush, released in 1987 through Anthem Records in Canada, Vertigo Records in the UK, and Mercury Records internationally. The last of the "synth era" albums, it continues with the production style of Power Windows. It also marked the only time Rush did a duet with another singer; Aimee Mann from 'Til Tuesday is featured in "Time Stand Still". The lyrics deal with the themes of time, experiences, communication, and instinct. note Rush did duet with fellow Canadian band, Max Webster, on the song "Battlescar", but that was a Max Webster song, not a Rush one.Fan and critic reception was mixed at the time, saying that there was too much of the keyboards and not enough of the rocking; although reception has improved over time, praising the lyrics and songwriting. The complicated rig setups in the live setting as result of their "synth-era" songs led the band to tone down the keyboards for their next opus, Presto. The Hold Your Fire tour was documented on the 1989 live album/concert film A Show Of Hands.

Minimalistic Cover Art: It is a simple red cover with 3 red shiny balls. Originally, this◊ was supposed to be the cover. (It was included in the liner notes instead.)

Time Stands Still: It's "Time Stand Still", as in asking for time to stand still.

Achievements in Ignorance: The quick timbali triplet fills Neil plays at the beginning of "Time Stand Still" were inspired by a similar fill in a Genesis song. Later, he worked with the same engineer as that Genesis record and was told that the fill he was inspired by was recorded with the tape slowed down.

Canon Discontinuity: They don't really acknowledge "Tai Shan" very much. Geddy even stated that recording it felt like a mistake because of how personal the subject was to Neil. Geddy and Alex are both on record stating that Tai Shan is their least favorite Rush song.
