Title: Good for Some, Unnecessary for Most
Product review: There are several Rush compilations, and this is not the best but will work well for some. At sixteen cuts and just under eighty minutes, it has songs from every Rush album through 1987 except Caress of Steel. Virtually every Rush song heard on radio is here, and anyone wanting only those will be satisfied. However, Rush is a true album band; deep cuts are often as good as or better than singles, and albums usually work better as a whole. This collection is thus only for extreme casuals. Anyone who is even slightly more curious would be better off with Rush's half dozen or so best albums. There is also no reason for completists to get this; it has nothing new. All this points to the fact that The Spirit was a record company marketing ploy to coincide with Rush's thirtieth anniversary, which is all that need be said.
