I'd watch the Grammy's for once if Geddy, Alex, and Neil were up there to accept an award.

The have Never been on the cover of Rolling Stone-big shock since the nazi founder hates them for Some reason - who incidently is the founder of Rock roll Hall of (Mediocre pop bands) Fame. Rush is 4th all time in consecutive Gold Records and are represented in the Canadian Music Hall of fame. Song writers HOF, NHL Hall, Motorcycle HOF. They are the Most Important and Influencial band out of canada and have recieved Every honor available Including the Royal Order of Canada. I dont think the give a crap about a grammy when you look at who actually wins them. |

Another - LINK
The following lines are short notes of the strongest emotions that the songs transmitted to me. As the reader knows very well, songs from a band like Rush are very complex and cerebral in the way they are crafted, so a lot of subtleties and detail is not evident on a first listen. With this thought in mind, I share my experience: 01 - Caravan This one has already been released and can be heard at: Brings thoughts of the 2112 album. Hypnotic guitar riffs. 02 - BU2B This one has already been released and can be heard at here. A hard track with a lot of hold and release. 03 - Clockwork Angels Middle eastern intro with those signature Alex Lifeson big strums. Neil really works the toms in this one. Huge number of bridge sections. Enchanting solo that segues into a weird bridge where Geddy Lee uses the telephone voice effect. Very atmospheric ending. 04 - The Anarchist The main guiding element is the rhythm. Very melodic. (the Cd jumped on this one) The telephone voice is back on this one. Extremely intense solo with excellent background tension and very tasteful buildup of the whole solo. 05 - Carnies The guitar makes a very heavy and powerful entrance. A lot of effects end up hiding the guitar. 80s style lead guitar phrases. Crazy breakdown that transitions again to a very heavy ending. 06 - Halo Effect Airy introduction. Ballad acoustic guitar sounds. Very light pop rock kind of feel. Nice interlude with traditional Irish flavor. 07 - Seven Cities of Gold Intro bass riff with the ominous cowbell. Instant classic Rush slow-paced guitar riff. Catchy chorus. Atmospheric solo with a lot of Lifeson trademark whammy bar action. Goes full circle (what a great song to put in loop). One of the highlights. 08 - The Wreckers Happy and melancholic vibe. Sad but uplifting chorus. Mysterious section in the middle. Nice orchestral ending with a cinematographic feel as a guitar solo fades out. 09 - Headlong Flight This one has already been released and can be heard at one of the videos here presented. Fast-paced song. Has a sort of punk attitude. Intense breakdown. 10 - BU2B2 Slows down the pace. Violins come back again. Spoken. 11 - Wish Them Well Slow, simple and repetitive. Starts to get interesting as it reaches the end but then goes back to the repetitive chorus. Yet another fade out. Less inspired track on the album. 12 - The Garden Big violins. Nice guitar and bass riffs. Awesome Rush acoustic guitar. Inspired and uplifting orchestral arrangements. Classic Lifeson single notes with chorus and delay. Excellent entrance by Neil Peart. References to the watchmaker. Piano prelude to a huge solo from Alex Lifeson, again with excellent orchestration - big guitar moment of the album. Overall, a very enjoyable album, with excellent sound quality and full of detail; all of the musicians are in awesome shape and showcase the brilliance that brought them to their iconic status. One can clearly state that is displays awareness for modern approaches while showing respect for the more traditional sounds. An album that will solidify Rush's position in the front line of progressive rock - very diverse with huge exploration moments. |

Thanks KC-I just read that off rushisaband.com
Another awesome review!! I can't wait to get this one!! I sit back and read the lyrics while listening to the music-they Never fail to amaze me. I guess Rush just moved up to # 3 All time for consecutive Gold records-Wow pretty incredible. I hope they add another one with Clockwork Angels. |

Out today. So far, I'm really digging it. Reminds me of a mix of Vapor Trails and Snakes & Arrows.

Great Album, Great Packaging. Killer Songs.
Love the little things they added to Caravan and BU2B in the background. Lots more hard rockers than I thought there would be. Does sound like a mix of Vapor Trails and Snakes, I might wind up liking it better than either. I can already tell it blows Test For Echo out of the water (not that that's hard). Looks like the Canadian Power Trio hit the nail on the head with the hammer AGAIN. i'm liking it much better than I liked Snakes And Arrows at first. I'm thinking it'll crack the Top 10, if not Top 5. Very impressed. |
