Fly by Night is the second studio album by the Canadian rock band Rush, released on February 14, 1975, by Mercury Records. It was the first Rush album to showcase elements of progressive rock for which the band has become known. It was also the first to feature lyricist and drummer Neil Peart, who replaced original drummer John Rutsey the previous summer just prior to the band's first North American tour. Peart took over as Rush's primary lyricist, and the abundance of fantastical and philosophical themes in his lyrics contrasted greatly with the simpler hard rock of the band's debut album. Despite the album's disappointing sales in the United States, reaching just No. 113 on the Billboard 200, it reached No. 9 on the Canadian charts; further, the album's single, "Fly by Night", enjoyed moderate success following a re-release in 1976.
