Some of Peart's lyrics, however, especially during the late '70s and early '80s (e.g ''[[2112]]''), were inspired by the [[objectivist]] philosophy of novelist [[Ayn Rand]], as well as by psychedelic [[Illegal drugs | drugs]] (e.g. "A Passage to Bangkok"). The band received some criticism for these lyrical themes, especially in the pro-[[collectivist]] British press in the wake of this album in the 70s, although this did not deter them from their favorite topics of songwriting.
