The album was a significant departure from their earlier, more progressive rock sound, showcasing a stronger emphasis on synthesizers and new wave influences. Signals was a commercial success, peaking at #10 on the U.S. Billboard 200 charts and an even more impressive #3 in the UK.
The album features iconic tracks like Subdivisions, which became one of the band’s signature songs, reflecting themes of social alienation and technological change that resonated with their fans.
