Title: Not my favorite RUSH sound at first, but a huge relief.
Review: I must say, along with everyone else, that this CD demands and deserves closer inspection and further acquaintance. I was a little overwhelmed and confused at first, but now I find new elements each time I listen. That experience has held true for me, regarding RUSH, for the past 24 years.I was first attracted to RUSH in the late 70's by their overall sound, but I was caught and held by Neil Peart's virtuosity as a musician and lyricist. And although the sound has changed many times during the years, I am delighted to find that virtuosity (and indeed that of Lee and Lifeson) is ever present on this CD. The first eight bars of the first song scream "Neil Peart is back!" In no uncertain terms.What a relief.
