This was the first Rush album to feature drummer Neil Peart. In addition to drumming duties, Peart also took on the job of lyricist by default, leading the band to adopt a more literary lyrical style that differs significantly from the debut album. The songs "By-Tor & The Snow Dog" and "Rivendell" are examples of the inclusion of fantasy themes into Rush's music, while "Anthem" features lyrics inspired by the philosophy of Ayn Rand, whose influence on Peart's writing would reach its apogee on the band's 1976 album 2112. "Fly by Night" and "Making Memories" appear to be autobiographical accounts of experiences from the band's first tour.
